Drug Testing in the PBA?
« on: December 13, 2007, 06:05:53 AM »
With all of the furor over the Mitchell Report, a question.  Is there currently a mandatory drug testing policy in the Professional Bowlers Association?

Okay, I wasn't certain.

If Coc is the favorite drug of choice, where is that information stemming from?

No steroids will be found?

Given the fact that some athletes have used Steroids or HGH to heal faster from injury and to also have endurance during a long season, it seems to me that steroid or HGH use in Professional Bowling is possible as with any sport that is physically demanding.

However, my question still hasn't been answered, is there a mandatory drug testing policy on the PBA tour?

First of all...there is a clause in all of our contracts with the PBA that we are subject to drug testing if the PBA chooses to. To this date there hasnt been any testing done

Second of all...this is hardly the place to start "rumors" about what you may or may not have heard about some players personal habits. Even if you have personal knowledge about this, is a public forum really the place to "throw somebody under the bus" like that ?

I dont condone any kind of drug use, but i certainly wouldn't use a forum to start rumors of this kind. Just think, what if you were in their shoes and somebody did that to you, your family or your friends. Plus, what if you name somebody that doesnt do these kinds of things....you could ruin an innocent persons reputation very easily with just a few simple words
