I never said they were directly related. The rocket scientists here made that leap all by themselves.

I said that trying to come back after five year suspensions - which are essentially equal to, "nice to know ya, have fun finding a new vocation in your different life" - should be a strict probation.

And yeah, I would include drug testing every 3 months as part of it. For everyone who wants a license reinstated: trainers, exercise, jocks, all of them.

They run the felony search again when one reapplies, but I see nothing wrong with making sure that someone who has done something so heinous that they were banned from the sport for 5 years is crystal clean on all accounts if they try to return to it.

Yes, that is apparently a really, really amazingly complex-stupid-weird-crazy idea to some of you. Gasp.
