When a player is injured, like Skov has been, are they still subject to the standard random NCAA drug testing regimen?Â
At first I thought this seemed like an interesting parallel to Hones since Hones had also been injured--which is why she was driving the golf cart. I wondered whether DUI incidents might be more common among injured athletes than among uninjured athletes, since uninjured athletes might fear random drug tests that injured athletes would not have to take.Â
But the NCAA site seemed to indicate that they do not test for alcohol with their standard year-round random tests, although alcohol is a banned substance and is included in their "championship" testing.
