Video gamers face tournament drug tests - BBC News

A top video game tournament company has launched an anti-doping scheme, after a top player admitted taking a performance-enhancing drug.
Kory Friesen, known as Semphis, said he had taken an ADHD medicine called Adderall at a tournament in March.
The Electronic Sports League (ESL) said it would work with the World Anti-Doping Agency to create a "fair, feasible and conclusive" policy.
One video game expert told the BBC doping was a "big problem".
Competitive gaming, known as eSports, is a growing phenomeno


Players take part in global tournaments for the chance to win prizes of up to $500,000 (£322,700).


The ESL says it is the world's largest eSports organisation, with close to six million members.


side note

look at the prize money, for playing a game. never mine sending your kids to school or uni. get them a play station, get them playing 8 hour every day. lol




with six milli drug tests , wonder how much will be left of the prize money after they test them all. lol
 
The video game industry is huge. Especially, in places like Korea. It's ridiculous how much they get paid, I guess this goes for other sports such as NFL, NBA etc..

Yes I agree,it is ridiculous! Does this become an idol in some peoples lives? Yes, yes it does.

At least with other physical sports the players are getting some exercise. This generation of video gaming not only takes up lots and lots of time but you are sedentary while your at it. From what Ive seen, most the games are shoot em up bang bang blow em up strategy. The gaming generation are desensitized to violence. None of it is good for the christian spirit IMHO

just my 2 cents........
 
the sorry point is your all raising a generation,that thinks only of money and whats in it for me.
