This is going too far.
Anybody who would compete professionally in Ice Fishing has got to have a few screws loose, but to find anything in their urine besides beer is just plain foolish.
The ice fishermen spent a week on the frozen lake, and on the last day, after emptying perch and bluegill from their buckets and scrubbing bait from their hands, several winners of the World Ice Fishing Championship were ushered into their rooms in the Plaza Hotel.And why in Hell would the Olympics consider this a sport? Not skintight suits or jiggle. And what possible use could drugs have on the outcome? If you have an answer to that I want to hear it.
There, an official from the United States Anti-Doping Agency ordered them to provide urine samples for a surprise test to detect steroids and growth hormones — drugs not normally associated with the quiet solitude of ice fishing.
“We do not test for beer, because then everybody would fail,” said Joel McDearmon, chairman of the United States Freshwater Fishing Federation.
