Why not make players undergo doping test after their post match interviews?
- Thread starter Messarger
- Start date
So, what am i missing?
75% of pro athletes are on juiceWhat about those that have to be consumed nearer to the tourney, or even during the tourney itself? Are there such PEDs like that?

That there's in-competition testing, within 60minutes after a match or 120minutes if it's final. Plus out-of-competition testing by the WADA.

You mean the stuff that Rafa puts on his banana, or Roger snorts when he takes bathroom breaks. Shhh.
It is possible that some folks take stimulants prior to a match ?? Not sure if blood doping would help in tennis ??
Just wondering if someone with an injury might take cortisone (pain/inflammation) and whether the steroids in cortisone are on the banned list or not ??

Federer sucks Lüthi's blood. It works.
Then what's with the whining that anti-doping policies in tennis are non existent?

From what I read - some substances you can take weeks before an event and it will be out of your system (undetectable) but would still give you a performance boost for a month or so. That's why WADA made out of competition testing but since a player is allowed to miss 2 tests in 18 months - they can easily take anything when they're not competing until they miss 2 tests, and then be very careful. Also in out of competition tests, players are only given urine tests which would not detect HGH or EPA (blood doping).
Some players showed great results after missing an out of competition tests.

Pro cyclists are given blood tests pretty much every day during Tour De France, which lasts about 3 weeks.. and most of them are still on juice and don't get caught. They know you can't win the Tour without cheating.

Maybe ...
People missing dope tests (consecutive ?).
Maybe not enough transparency in process.
Names of failed persons not revealed (only a few).
I am only answering what i gather to be the reasons for people whining.

Well, In-competition drug testing didn't stop the DDR athletes from doing a truck load of Turinabol Out-of-competition did it? But I'm sure all that doping didn't enhance their performance... I mean, how could it possibly when the drugs were already out of their system when competing? Doesn't make sense, no? :-?

It would not be a suprise then, and you could time it so that your system would be clear.
I remember one year the hunted Rafa down at his folks home during some celebration. He was pissed if I remember correctly.

for growth hormone there is no test, synthetic deriative of hgh, supposedly used by many athletes due to this. blood doping no practical test, also nearly impossible to catch cheats. many other compounds/drugs, prohormones that are hard to detect and easy to mask.

Can't you detect HGH from blood testing?
to the OP, players get tested before press, after press and maybe during press (kidding).
they even get tested at home at all hours - i think they woke murray up last year at 7am.
ah yes, that story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/te...y-intrusive-tennis-drug-testing-protocol.html
