WSOP Drug Testing
Major tournament circuits are trying to "clean-up" poker's image. They have enforced penalties for foul/abusive language, prohibited deal-making and anything else that would make poker as reputable as possible. With all of these new rules and regulations would it be that unreasonable to drug test final table players?
I mean, how can you justify enforcing a foul language penalty if other players at the table are high on cocaine or methamphetamine? I'm not saying that I'm in favor of drug testing the FT, but it isn't as outragous as many may believe. Obviously the drug test would only need to indicate if the player were high at that moment. I have identified several "name pros" and other recognizable players as being under the influence of drugs during televised events. And am wondering if the efforts to clean up poker are all for not if players are allowed to be high during tournaments. What do you guys think? Is this a bad idea, a good one or a really bad idea? Any suggestions on the best way to enforce this rule or any stipulations that should be included(eg exclude marijuana as a banned substance). |
