Random drug testing

KC,
I had to chuckle comparing sons own first experience to your statment.
You have an audience and as the guy said to son after a night game, "we got all night". The first time it's tough, second gets better, and by third you are getting a kick out of filling to the brim!

Random means what it means, player is randomly chosen. When they show up, they show up and randomly pull names. Testing has to be done by a lab, most likely one close to the area.

Most likely they will be back, and most likely your son will have a specimen taken by the school somtime during season.

The deeper you go into the season and playoffs, the more likely there will be random tests. The NCAA tested randomly during regionals and in Omaha.

Just another FUN experience of being a student athlete!

Scared to ask

They are required to test...randomly. Obviously, the goal is zero banned substance use and zero positive results....only be concerned if the player is not tested.

Although I am in favor of and do not oppose random drug testing at all,...it just somehow saddens me to see the title of this post and to know that we live in an era where there is such necessity.
