Drugs in sport

Recent news tells me there is a problem with drugs in sport testing and follow.
However before that I could not understand why when a substance is found to be found "positive" no criminal action follows but who ever may only miss a training session or two... however the police charged with the application of the law are some times sidelined where spot is involved.
What a message to send our kids.... get caught with drugs in your systen and you will miss a match or some training but no worries the police will not be involved.
In our world of do it now.. how come all sports stars are not tested at the end of and at the start of each event..not enough money to employ full time testers???? Racehorses yes but humans no??? given the problem real or percived why is it tests are not carried out on each player etc before and after each event? why are results not followed up by way of criminal proceedures given that the test holds evidence that would see a conviction.
If sport is a business and sports people are professional why can we not test before and after each event..the money is there but where is the will.
Hold up sports people as heros no problem but get real with the drug issue.. cant science test at each event etc rather than random. It seems a funny thing that tests are not routine for every competitiion ... where is the problem. This random stuff will not work but only raise more questions than answered. Imagine each Saturday every footy player must prove to be ok... why not are we so backward we can not figure a way.
