Swabs were taken from inside the players' mouths and the DNA placed on a small testing device called a biochip. This had been coated with the genetic mutations for which they were being tested.

The players' mutant genes 'linked up' with those already on the biochip and this allowed the scientists to read the footballers' genetic profile under a laser beam and assess the risk of injury.
Molecular geneticist, and assistant professor at Yale University School of Medicine, Marios Kambouris told The Sunday Times he carried out the tests last year. He wasn't told the name of the club nor the identities of the players.
Prof Kambouris said: “I have no idea which players they were but there were good genes in there, things which would positively affect their performance, such as their ability to have better aerobic respiration, which would give them more stamina on the pitch.”
Nicola Maffulli, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine at Queen Mary, University of London, discovered the role played by specific genes in increasing the risk of tendon injuries.

Professor Maffulli said the tests provided obvious advantages to clubs. But he warned it could be used to weed out potential recruits players before they sign for clubs.
Yeah~but the football club thinks differently.作者: xiaomeixin 时间: 2011-10-18 22:12
It's unfair for the sport players.Just he or she likes sports and is good at it,he or she should have the rights to play it and take part in the matches.作者: blueskywhy 时间: 2011-10-18 22:58
but the football club is more like making money, so they want the football star who can win the matches and money for them.作者: xiaomeixin 时间: 2011-10-19 21:13

maybe it is unfair to those who are more injury-prone
