Quote Earthworm Jim="Earthworm Jim"Well the anti doping or whoever does these tests need to get smart.
there are rumours of drug abuse, so lets warn them we're coming to test them. Sounds like a great plan
They should just turn up, unannounced after training, a match, even the players house on a sunday morning and say i want a sample now.
i'm not disagreeing the players make sure they are clean when the tests come around. So the system is failing and need overhauling obviously.
Like i said the testers should be able to turn up, without warning, anywhere they choose to catch these players.'"
So then what happens?

"Hello Mr Hock, we need a urine sample this minute."
"Sorry mate, I'm at the Trafford Centre with the missus. I can be there in half an hour."
"No good Mr Hock. See you at a WADA disciplinary."
It's a great idea in theory but there are far too many variables at play that could result in players wrongly being fingered just because they weren't available at the tester's whim.
