PED is a workplace safety issue
Matt captures my feelings on the matter. PED creates an entry barrier, one that may require others to use if they want to enter. But with the health risks, perceived or real, with PED, this now becomes a health concern, a workplace safety issue.
Here's a crazy idea: what if you allow players to use PED, but they must register themselves as PED users. Much like players get TUE (therapeutic-use exemption), they get a similar tag for PED. Except in this case, the registration is made public. You can even provide some disincentive, say that the player must sit out one month a year (unpaid). But any unregistered player who tests positive gets an immediate two-year ban. He is then reinstated as a registered PED user, even if he promises to no longer use PED. And if one month is not enough, then make it a two-month unpaid sit-out.
Crazy? Or crazy enough to work?
