i dont understand why they anounce when the testing is going to happen...wouldnt this allow some players who might be using to get stuff out of their system?


I just hope for the sake of the league that there isnt any player that comes up 'dirty'

hmm.gif Depends on what they are testing. If all they do is urine tests, then it's just a waste of time because the stuff washes out and fast. They can do hair follicle tests that would show any ingested chemicals from a long way back.... rolleyes.gif

Is alcohol considered a drug? If so, most of those guys would test positive.

caffeine is also considered a drug but it is NOT illegal and alcohol i would assume would be in the same category
