Concerned about some professional gamers gaining an upper hand in the alertness and reflexes departments, the Cyberathlete Professional League is in the beginning stages of instituting a drug testing program for all elligible players, according to Tom's Hardware.
Says founder and CPL president Angel Munoz:
The potential for [drugs] being an issue absolutely concerns me. It should concern anybody in eSports, because as the stakes get larger, as in any sport, people will look for an edge.
The league's primary concerns are stimulants such as crystal meth and even the prescription drug Ritalin, not the performance enhancing drugs common in other sports that require you to stand upright or move your lower torso at some point.
Sadly, this confirms that I'll never be a professional competitive gamer, as I have a strict "Never Play Sober" policy. Just kidding, mom and dad!
