All major sports are against playing on dope or any kind of illegal drugs, even steroids. Most have testing to insure this does not occur and many have been stripped of awards in the Olympics who have cheated.

What if pool would clean up its image by stating every player in every tourney would have to submit to a radom urin sample somewhere during the event and be tested for drugs and every person in he semi's and finals would be tested for a 2nd time prior to the match. Any violations of this would result in a DQ and out the door with no money.

Would a 128 normal field of players now be 28. Would this clean up the dirty image the game has now. Would it make it more appealing to corporate sponsors who how shun it. Opinions please.

I would vote for that because I don't do any illegal drugs and my system is totally clean. Any one who would be against it, is then, a drug user. If you dont use drugs, then why would you not be in favor of this? Why not clean up the game all we can?

:-) :-D :-o :-o :-P

If we did drug testing at every event, all would be tested at least on one day, you could be tested 4 days in a row, I wonder what percentage of players it would knock out? 20%, 50%, i AM SURE, the number would be above any other sport other than Wrestling. I think it's time we clean up the sport.

What percentage do you guys think it would be.

On the pro tour, figuring men's and women's together, less than 10%. On the roadie circuit, 90%.

Lets just discuss the men, I think the problem is worse with them and I think it is much higher than 10%...
Why doesn't somebody ask Blackjack David Sapolis on AZ that question, he was selling them the stuff for years on tour, he should know? His room mate was flying it in direct from South American and was killed in David's apartment where they both lived. Some suspect David?
Ask Dennis Hatch who was selling to them until they sent him up.
Or Ask the guy running the US Open they also sent up, or Ask Rodney Morris, who was also selling who got 4 years in the big house. If you want to know, ask the pushers, they are the only ones who know how deep this is?

Only dopes and punks use dope. No serious person does.

Take the women out and it might push 20. I am referring to ranked tournament players only.
