Question about firing one up

Appears that when a team in not in an NCAA tourney (which hasn't been an issue for WF basketball in a long long time), the school has the discretion to test or not test whenever they feel like it. Not saying it was the case with DT and Crab, but definitely could see an athletic department use this system to "weed out" players that they don't want around anymore and/or protect players that the athletic department wants to keep. Let's put it this way: State is not testing Cat B, Duke is not testing Brandon I or Grayson A and UNC is not testing Brice J without plenty of warning. Simply, not in a schools interest to rigorously test, particularly if a team is successful.

As for MLB, the progressive legalization of pot makes it problematic to test. If you play for the Rockies and Mariners (or you are on a road trip in CO or WA), why should you prohibited from using something that can be legally consumed?




Even though "legal" in those states, it is still an illegal product by federal law. What if a Rockies or Mariners player were to do a major doobie before leaving their state, get into another MLB city and get drug tested and ring up a big number for it?
 
I think you both miss the issue. If it's banned by your organization who cares if it's legal or illegal? There are plenty of legal drugs banned by sports leagues.

And you don't "do" doobies.
