Hi Alex,

In principal I agree where your coming from. But the logistics to administer something like this would be a nightmare, not to mention the costs. I just can't imagine every footy team being tested week in week out. It would take them more than a week to analyse the samples and to expediate the process will either cost a motza or worst be a lawyers dream. The legal system would find loopholes in the testing process and argue the unfairness of the whole setup, etc.

I wouldn't know any lab in OZ that could handle 100's of samples, return the results in a short turnaround. If the results can't be acheived before the next game, then it defeats the purpose.
