Should poker tournaments be tested for performance enhancing substances?

(E.g. high stakes internationally marketed poker tournaments at a minimum)

Poker tournaments have always been missing penis inspections.

I always suspected the super aggy players were roided up to their eyeballs. So YES.

Moronic idea of course but anyway, why high stakes only and not all tournaments?

Because they dare to wear protest t-shirts?

Yes. And when the results come back after the tourney, just ask the guy for the money back, and I'm sure he'll give it back. But there has to be a provision that if he lost it in a poker game, then he's OK because we dont want to hurt the poker economy.

Posts like this make me cringe for the poker economy in general, yeah lets drug test everyone before they play... there goes 60% of the fish and prize pool, do yourself a favor OP and find another hobby.

Heh, I've been a bit slow ponied but here's a true story:

Years back Casino Arizona had hired a horde of 'hosts' to play and they were subject to the rules regarding all employees. They had to wear ID's but sometimes they weren't visible bec they'd slid under coats or w/e. So one day a woman host got tapped on the shoulder by security and off she went. When she got back a visitor from somewhere asked her what security wanted and she answered 'I had to pee in a bottle for the drug test.' The visitor exclaimed 'THEY TEST THE PLAYERS?' and hilarity ensued. I mentioned that if they did half the room would have to leave, lol.

I love it when the bomb sniffing dogs come around at the WSOP. People freak out thinking they are looking for drugs.

But if it eliminates a higher % of the pros, is it still a net plus for the few who remain?
