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

IF there were drug tests in the PBA, you would see MANY of your favorite PBA Stars getting in trouble from drugs, but as far as i know not from Cocaine, but rather Marijuana

I see three posts that asked the poster to remove their post. Looks like that is gone I think the others need to be removed that quoted that post.
Yeah there is a drug problem outthere and everyone seems to know who the ones are. WIll there be a drug testing program, I highly doubt it. I would rather see higher payouts then spending money on a drug testing program.

Marijuana is no different from cocaine (in this sense), it is still an illegal drug and will get them in trouble as well.
You people saying you know they use cocaine or marijuana, Id like to see proof. I dont think you should even post up that these people are using drugs without some kind of proof. That is their private life and their business anyway.
This is a public forum, leave their private lives out of here when it refers to illegal activity. The topic was regarding the Mitchell Report and PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS, not illegal narcotics. Stick to the subject. As far at the topic, there is always a chance that any professional athlete uses performance enhancing drugs to gain an edge over the competition. There have been talks about testing golfers for performance enhancing drugs as well. And like billy2gun said, HGH is used very often to help heal faster from injuries. When you get an injury like a torn ACL and are sidelined for a year, you do everything you can to get back on that field, golf course, basketball or tennis court, whatever sport you play.
I personally would like to see testing in all sports, the problem will not be solved until then. I think baseball did a great thing in making the first BIG step like this to fight steroid use in their sport. I think the NFL should be the next sport to conduct a major investigation into steroid use in their sport. Although, that might not be a good thing, because then the NFL might not exist any more.
