Is it possible that with all the testing for Covid that PED use is down in the NBA accounting for declining play. No facts just worded it if anybody else thinks it’s possible for doping to be prevalent in the NBA but that it is kept to a wisper

Why would sticking a swab up a players nose to test for covid be a risk for revealing PED use?

A nasal swab collects cells and fluids. Why couldn’t cells and fluids be tested for PED’s. Doesn’t a urine sample also contain cells and liquids?

the league appears to have very little interest in revealing players’ ped use. i believe players have always been told when they would be tested and have been able to adjust their usage around the testing dates.

It’s a completely different test for PEDs that requires urine. Not to mention, before players undergo urinalysis they legally have to be briefed on what illicit substances are being tested for otherwise it’s inadmissible
