Motorsport Australia To Name and Shame.
According to Speedcafe, Motorsport Australia will naming and shaming those competitors that breach its Alcohol and Illicit Drugs Policies, from the 1st of March.
Could be interesting? Hopefully a few officials get tested on a Sunday morning, just to even things out. Imagine being accused of drinking XXXX beer! |

Officials already get tested, and have tested positive.
Not sure how I feel about this, seeing as WADA/ASADA don't name anyone who has breeched their policies, for privacy reasons. |

It is a god given right for competitors to have a good P...UP on Saturday night isn't it?
It is about time they recognised this problem and di something about it. Every competitor should be breath tested on arrival at the circuit and signing on. |

There's a certain team who has quite the reputation for drinking/partying/getting kicked out of hotels. Could explain why they never win anything |

In 10+ years of being an official, i never got tested, let alone saw others getting tested. Whilst those whom might remember the old Easternats at Sandown, every entrant got tested and it wasn't even a MA sanctioned event.
Going to be a few people on their toes now...whilst some of us enjoy a drink or two on Friday or Saturday night, their was always the 1% that pushed the envelope and you had to wonder how the hell they managed to turn up the next day. |

Paul isn't trying to justify anything.
CAMS have only had a CATO procedure since 2015, from memory. I've personally been in charge of two club level events that had Alcohol Testing done, plus seeing them at all the major events like Nationals, F1, Supercars, 12 Hour etc. |

As a competitor I've seen more testing in the last couple of years than in the previous 18. I'm NSW based and havent seen anyone at our state meetings but have been breath tested at both VIC state meetings, I've been to and the Bathurst 12hour last year.
Interestingly the same tester at all 3 events, is there only one approved tester in CAMS? |

I've seen testers walk in the front of a garage and mechanics/team members walk out the back...
Without full team lists to check against, you're only testing those too slow to "go missing" |

In related news, current Australian Top Fuel champion enjoys a spoonful of methamphetamine in his morning coffee.
Wonder if he's been following the same regime when race meetings are on? |

Pretty standard for drag racing, to be honest.
