Hey guys,
So I am currently planning on walking on to a 1AA football program and have some questions about drug testing. I've never actually used anything but I am considering it. I sent my film to the coach and he said that if I can gain around 20lbs without losing much speed then I will have spot on the team. I could probably gain the weight I need but Im worried that unless I use something to give me an edge I will never get my shot to actually play considering I will be among a group of genetically blessed, born to be athletes. Now I know alot of you guys have strong opinions about gear's role in sports but 1) it is more prevalent than you would think and 2) this is my dream and I would literally do anything to achieve it. So while I appreciate your guys opinions of what I should do, I am more looking for info on the likelihood of getting tested. Also just want to let you guys know that I dont take this decision lightly, I have spent the last couple weeks planning out a simple test cycle and looking into every possible side effect and trying to shift through the bro science towards the truth. I also have checked out all of the NCAA's information about drug testing which states, "In year-round testing events, student-athletes
may be selected on the basis of sport, position, competitive ranking, athletics financial-aid status, playing time, directed testing, an NCAA-approved random selection or any combination thereof."
So presumably if I juiced to make weight and gain an edge in time for spring ball I wouldnt be on financial aid, I wouldnt have any playing time and football wouldnt be in season. But is there anyone out there who could answer some of these questions?:
Will all walk-ons who are offered a spot on the team be tested before they can accept the offer?
What is the frequency that 1AA walk ons would be tested by the school?
What is the frequency that 1 AA walks on would be tested by the NCAA?
Thanks guys
