Should there be compulsory Drug Testing before Champions Trophy ?

[JASON]

Is there any drug testing done before the Champions Trophy ? I hope the ICC take steps to enforce compulsory drug testing before Champions Trophy using Neutral Drug Testing Agency . This is now standard practice in all sports and Cricket should not lag behind , IMO .
I hope the ICC take steps to do compulsory tests on all Cricketers before the Champions Trophy and the World Cup.
Any way your opinions ...

There should be regular drug testing anyway...I'm not sure what they do now, it might already be the case.

There is already regular drug testing.

I think the only ones need testing are Malcolm Speed and his coterie..

Well they both appear to be Pakistan fans... they must have known something I guess.

Yea, definatly. IMO, there should be compusory drug testing of every player playing an international match at least three times a year, done at random intervals.

Its too obvious if you schedule it before a major tournament. It should be relatively random.

I.e on the morning of the second test, Malcom Speed shows up with a cup.

Er...how much does anyone outside of professional cricket know how much players are tested?

I sure don't, could anyone enlighten me on the subject?

i don't escap him or anything whatever u think.whatever he thinks it is his point of view. i just don't mind it is a free world everyone is entitled to their opinion and it should be respected by others. if he thinks pakistan is a cheat team ok it is his opinion i can't change his opinion why waste of time arguing with him.

For performance enhancing substances, yes. Recreational, no.

It has been the case in ICC hosted tournaments since 2002.

I actually thought Haroon had disappeared - hadn't seen him for ages, until the Akhtar Asif thing blew up...
