I don't think there's any reason to be concerned here. Drug testing is expensive, costing between $5k and $10k per test, not including paying the guys that go to collect the sample. Therefore it's unlikely that the FAI will spend their hard earned money testing a sport in which there's so little benefit from PEDs. That said, maybe John and Brett should go a little easier on the EPO, they've been performing pretty well recently! ; )
