This makes me wonder how there are not more drug test failures in the Premier league.Originally Posted by World's End Stella
Passing the tests is easy, you stop taking the drugs in advance of the tests so that they clear your system. That's how Ben Johnson, Linford Christie and so many other athletes passed the tests for years. Out of contest testing is fairly easy to avoid as well, although Mo had to miss two tests in the year before London 2012, one away from a 4 year ban.
The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming, I'm afraid PRSB.
I find this very odd. You have 20 teams. let's say 25 players per squad. 500 young lads aged earliest 16 and latest mid 30s, athlete
cash on the hip. you'd think you'd at least get a few more recreational drug use failures here and there.
Yet it doesn't seem to happen often. unless they are kept quiet. .
