Woohooo, Big Brother is watching you.... \r\n\r\nYep the issue is not our decision as minigolfers, it is the decision of bigger guys out there.

If the person earning daily living is involved in business in which frequent travels are part of work and travels are unpredictable (dates, locations) I think it is unfair for player to be punished for not being able to provide whereabout schedule. I just wonder what is WADA protocol in these situations.

Erik, we all understand your point...except for WADA. Maybe someone who is in the pool would be so kind and sacrifice some time to explain the readers how these whereabouts work.

Gutte, who was testing you? Was it WADA or some Swedish authority? Has anyone else had surprise tests?

Personally I think we should have a drugfest championship.\r\nIt would be nice to know what is possible.\r\nI doubt it would make any difference whatsoever.

A Russian ice hockey player just died in the middle of a hockey match in Russia. They were playing as usual, and then this guy just starts skating slower, kneels and dies to a heart attack. Reason: doping.\r\n\r\nThe single most important task of anti-doping rules is to protect athletes from falling victims of the sports system.

I totally agree with you Tim... This was his own choice and his own mistake. I think the anti-doping rules are there, or at least should be there to make the sport fair. Athletes are responsible for their own health.

We have the similar situation in US. Absolutely no government help. Time for competition is your expense on your own time. Many of people in this country get only 1-2 week vacations a year. Our association can hardly collect money to exist, doping control is just added expense. At least we are saved by not having top players in the world.

No top players? Depends on what playing system you are talking about.\r\n\r\nI wonder if you are taking any share of the competition participation fees to the federation?
