Drug Testing in Pickleball?
As the sporting world follows the story of Cycling's & Cancer survivor's poster boy Lance Armstrong, we are in waiting to find out if his use of performance enhancing drugs did in fact take place. The news report on Thursday stated that Lance had indeed dropped his petition to fight the ruling, meaning that he is in fact guilty, or not wanting to fight against a witch hunt opposing him. If he is found guilty he will be stripped of all Tour de France medals, and other titles, and payback all winnings during a 9 year period. That same day that I heard that I was heading in for another day of Reffing for pickleball at the BC seniors games. I chuckled to myself of the thought of drug testing taking place in pickleball at a seniors games. There was already laughs flowing at the games when I arrived about the possibilities of that taking place. As was stated by the participants in attendance, you have seniors taking any number of medications for allergies, hypertension, asthma, cardiovascular disease, sleep disorders, inflamation, anti-depressants, sexual enhancements, anti-smoking, arthritis, bone density, cholesterol control, anti-ulcer, and list could fill the page. Very much amused by the joke of having drug testing take place at a seniors games pickleball event would mean that, "We would all Fail!", says one participant. Livestrong=Pickleball=Livestrong.
