It is not about people taking performance enhances, but the trivial drugs
that are contained in vitamins and supplements people take all the time
without thinking about it.  Why should we have to spend our time
familiarising ourselves with the list to know what we are taking when we
are an amateur sport.  That is the question being asked, not about people
who cheat to gain an advantage.

Just because we play an amateur sport isn't relevant - all Olympic sports are technically amateur (archery, softball, table tennis etc.) perhaps a better phrase would be "an unrecognised sport"...


I can see that introducing drug testing at the world championships is an obvious step to gain more respect and make ultimate on a par with other sports.

The idea that anyone would want to introduce large scale testing at tour level is obviously absurd (at present). But in the future if a large sponsor was interested and stated it as a prerequisite I can't see how anyone could object.

Ps. Just say "don't inhale"
