Aside, and to stop shitposting: breath analysis random testing has been extraordinarily good because it is an instant test for people doing an unsafe and illegal thing (driving drunk).
By contrast, roadside drug testing is iniquitous because it doesn’t test impairment, only the presence of having used a drug recently, and unfairly punishes people even who have done the right thing, ie. waited until they’re safe to drive.

Also: if Addo-Carr doesn’t fail any of the doping tests he’s subject to as a professional athlete we need to start asking really hard questions about whether the roadside drug tests are even reliable tests.

@liamvhogan or legal as a search if you're not affected?

Hey @spinopsys as an expert on ‘it wasn’t me’ athlete stories to WADA I’m curious to know how you’re rating Josh Addo-Carr

@liamvhogan first I’ve heard of it. I’m not certain of the oral fluid test accuracy for antidoping purposes though it could be used as such. But it can be contestable in terms of chain of collection and custody and some other issues. How good are your average cops at taking samples and chain of custody? That would be my first question. I know how antidoping sampling works but not this.
For sport you’re pissing in a cup or blood but all are perfect and imperfect in their own way. I’ve just checked and there is a second oral sample to be tested because the first is just indicative and not court admissable. The second is because it’s lab tested. They could take blood at the station but that does not seem to be the case.
