Do other sanctioning bodies, like the IOC or the groups that supervise track and cycling, use blood testing, or only urine testing? I'm clueless about who does what. My take would be that baseball should mirror the standard that other sports use for their testing.[/QUOTE

I am under the impression that the OIC only does urine testing, but not 100% sure.
I had to call son's trainer last week regarding medication he needs to take for allergies, on of the ingredients I know is not allowed in teh IOC. Trainer told me that baseball is much more lenient than individual sports, with NCAA testing looking for about 4 max banned substances. Steroids (illegal), amphetimines, marijuana and cocaine.
