"Drug Testing Just Dopey"

[bad hammy]

For what its worth, I consider this a sad era in which we live when to compete in sport a person has to take a piss while having another human being watch you doing it. There are many people in the world that have difficulty in doing so.

Nothing stopping them taking the blood test route if they are shy.

As I understand it, urine tests are mandatory. And I agree with Kurt on this one - when the rules require you to piss while under up-close-and-personal direct scrutiny of strangers (or even non-strangers) then things are totally f**ked up.

Would it be acceptable if they were MD's?

No. It is not their qualifications. It is the fact that folks have to pee while under intense close-up scrutiny.

So what are the actual rules, mandatory blood and urine, or just mandatory urine? I would have thought one blood test would be enough and preferable, given HGH is a blood test. Or are the urine tests more sensitive for steroids, so they need both?

Good lord- it isn't that big of deal.

Of course I say this after having a roomful of people watch something the size of a small watermelon come out of me.

Yeah, those hairballs can be a beyotch!

Perhaps the perceived root of the complex imaginary problem.
