Chess Players To Be Drug Tested

Congressman Cliff Stearns speaks on anabolic steroids in baseball and even mentions that the World Chess Federation is implementing drug testing through the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA). This news topic that aired on ESPN2 is about ridding steroids in sports. The World Anti Doping agency drug testing plan is used in the Olympics and by the NCAA. The BIG question is when will WADA implement and enforce its steroid testing rules upon the International Federation of Body Builders (IFBB)? They are clearly some of the biggest steroid abusers on planet earth. Is their drug testing a farce? How many more people will have to die or be killed before the problem is looked into?

Steroids should be aloud in pro sports. Pro sports have absolutely no point other than to make money. So let them use steroids if i'm paying to watch baseball i want balls hit over the fence. Not a bunch of cattle grazing in the outfield.

FIDE (World Chess Federation) was proposing drug-testing on International FIDE tournaments, so that they can join the Olympics. The reaction by the players is that they threatened to boycott it if they required the testing for banned substances.Furthermore, the chess players don't care if they can play in the Olympics, because they already have their annual Olympiad. As a result, the proposal was eliminated!

Would people really want to watch a 3-hour chess matches on tv??
