from the site

"Indeed, a number of drugs are becoming popular among gamers, from amphetamines to nootropics or "smart drugs". Young people are even experimenting by combining drugs, such as Ecstasy and Viagra."

Nothing like a raging hard-on to make you play better.

The headline is misleading because we are not announcing drug testing for 2007. What we are announcing is that for future tournaments, our terms and conditions are being updated so that we can reserve the right to begin drug testing if the situation warrants it.

adrenalin and possibly one redbull should be enough to wake every player up

No, they shouldn't. But the whole notion of someone snorting Ritalin and suddenly becoming the best player on earth is slightly hilarious. :-p

Beta blockers or smth. There's plenty drugs that can be used to calm you down.

An athlete taking steroids might not make him the best in the world, but it still improves them.

QuoteThe CPL hopes that requiring gamers to submit to a drug test will be a "great deterrent" for new players looking for a quick route to fame and fortune.


That sounds like a bit more than good players enhancing their abilities, but I know what you mean. ;-)
