How do you know? Or are you just responding to my silly YouTube reference...?

I still say, "How do we know players are not given advance notice to clean their systems?"
Case in point... lots of athletes getting arrested for recreational drugs, but never failing drug tests by their respective sports. Our Bengals have a had a few of these in the past (Chris Henry, Jonathan Joseph, etc). I have mentioned it before, but I know of a former NFL QB that smoked lots of weed. Was always informed by his team 90 days before getting tested. Imagine that. Only the dumb fail.
As PEDs go this is a bridge to nowhere for baseball players.
