All points are moot. Until professional sports adapt similar policies to Olympic sports their “tests” are a joke. More accurately, the way they are carried out.

Take Cycling for instance, you can appeal, but no one ever wins, and on top that, once they serve their suspension, nobody wants them. The guys who come clean, contribute to a cleaner sport, and are welcomed back with open arms.

So what we are saying is MLBPA is better at their job then NFLPA. NBA is different because they don’t want a bunch of players getting caught doing rec drugs and the league never had ped crisis.

Then there is the NBA drug policy, if you read it closely, it pretty much says 99% of the players never get tested. But thats probably because NBA is closer to wrestling than sports.

Is this because of cultural differences between the people involved in pro football and the ones in pro baseball? Or is it because one league has opened itself to more liability than the other?
