[b]what about drug testing in big live competions?[/b]

When I'm in a long MTTsession (f.ex. longer then 6 h), I eat nuts. All kind of nuts. The chewing makes your concentration go up and nuts are good brainfood. When I'm really tired I drink strong tea or energy drink. Often I see a friend playing online while drinking (alcohol) -> dangerous by all means.

I believe you're in some kind of problems when you start taking drugs for a game of poker. Not only is it very unhealthy, but I guess it messes with the thinking too. And what about possible addictions. Both mentally stimulating and mentally calming medication have too many negative side effects.

IMO drug testing could be a good thing for poker. Of course online it's impossible to do and it stays the responsibility of the single player, but it can be done in big live competitions.  Integrity and fair play in sport is a fundamental requirement for fans and sponsors to trust that the games are fair. So isn't it time to introduce it to our beloved poker?

It's being known that poker players more often have a more rebellious character, but nowadays it's become a real big business with big sponsors, investors, staking arrangements and so on. So wouldn't it be better for the image of the poker that the big organizers try to make it clean and therefore more fair?
