Drug tests and those sports ’stars’ who fail to turn up to them.
Am i the only person who thinks that if a sportsperson fails to turn up for a drugs test (without just cause) the authorities should treat them as if they have failed the test?
OK i do realise it’s not always as black and white as that but surely if you are a sportsperson, attending a drug test should be as important as playing the football match or running the race.

I disagree. It is a game, and one that the sports persons are very good at. For me it shows the the true nature of competitive sport: winning is everything, and by implication everything else is irrelevant. Sadly, though this appears to be what the public generally want. If steroid abuse was really seen as that bad … Well, lets see what happens to baseball in the States follwing the Mitchell revelations. I can’t see it populairty waning much.
