The main reason PDA tests for drugs is to make itself look official in the eyes of other International sporting organizations. Performance enhancement drugs play little to no role in making someone a better darts player. Plus I doubt illegal drugs were ever a rampant problem within professional darts. Historically over drinking and smoking was the fodder for many comedians about Pro Darts, but never illegal drugs. What are their big concerns other then looking legitimate, that MVG will take a some prescription pain killers for his bad back which would help him stand straighter?

Fairly new to darts, I also watch (used to race) pro cycling which is well known to have a history with PED's. I had no idea some players use drugs to improve their game, EPO is a big performance enhancer for the cardiovascular system, what drugs to dart players use and how do they improve their game?

Surprised at comments saying "taking drugs wont benefit you playing darts". Not true. I have a good friend who we have played darts together for over 15 years. Very steady player. Give him a bag of amphetamines on a weekend and he is a different player. Bumps his average up massively and his eye for the treble and double is ridiculous. Comparison also works for playing pool, his game is sooo much better when on the banned drugs!

I'm a darts player, but I have long-term medical conditions that require constant medication, including type 1 diabetes permanent back issues, and I take painkillers that contain opioids and will be found during random drug tests and that would be for me an automatic fail and disqualification from future darts tournaments.

I have always wondered about drug testing in professional darts especially after hearing about Dom Taylor. I don't think that any drug could really enhance a dart players performance. In fact I think drugs would hinder it more than anything including alcohol. Have you ever tried to play darts when you've had a few too many? I can't even see the board or the segments properly! Thanks for the insight Matt 👍

Honestly, i agree with most drugs, especially having marijuna on the banned list is beyond ridiculous. On the other hand, something like adderral or ritalin would defenitely have a significantly enhancing effect, just for the fact that you can focus so much better.

@@cadrollhunting3564 a lot of things aren't on the banned list for being "performance enhancing" the WADA list has three criteria 1) Potential to improve performance 2) Potential to risk the health of the athlete 3) Against the "spirit of sport" (So setting a bad example etc) Things have to fill 2 of the 3 criteria to be prohibited, so a lot of things are banned because there is an associated health risk and is not "sporting" That said, like you say, things like Adderall, a lot of stimulants, and beta-blockers are most certainly advantageous in darts. cannabis, possibly as a relaxant, but no more than a good lie down with some music, or a quick vodka shot

Re the importance of ingredients in supplements. Allan Baxter - British Skiier lost his olympic medal because he took bought a vicks inhaler from the pharmacy in Salt Lake City and used it. He knew it was safe from the UK. This had a microscopic amount of a banned substance that the UK one didn't have. (They also tested his at a different lab to a lot of the tournament off site which wouldn't have picked it up too)

Hey Matt, here in American you just have to empty your pockets and then you can enter the backroom by yourself. You pee into the cup and put the lid on. You don't flush the toilet. You walk out and stick the seal on the cup infront of them and then inital the bag and leave. Are they standing there staring at you from the front or are they atleast behind you?

Question: Cannabis is legal in Canada but illegal here, if a Canadian player who was prescribed Cannabis was noticeably high (AKA prescribed it but had clearly had a generous helping), would they get in trouble or would they it just get ticked off as a prescription medication? (Btw I’m aware medicinal Cannabis doesn’t get you high the same way stuff from the streets would but it’s an interesting hypothetical)

Here's where things get muddled though. PDPA uses WADA standards no? If so, recreational drugs (cannabis, stimulants, narcotics) fall under banned for "in competition" use. In competition is considered by WADA as 11:59 the day before competition. As such, if your teating levels are low enough to reasonably demonstrate that you didnt take drugs that day, they shouldn't count against you, no?

Players should be submitting urine samples before every event in my opinion. I don't really agree with random testing as it's possible for a player to never be tested during their entire career or another player being checked multiple times and affecting their preparation. There are a few players on tour where it looks blatantly obvious they are taking something (Josh Rock) and think the testing needs to be more frequent. There's no place for drugs in sport.
