Bridge (Yes, the card game): https://deadspin.com/worlds-top-bridge-player-suspended-for-doping-with-synt-1832959247
This may be the most bizarre doping case I've ever heard of.

Shocked.....I am totally SHOCKED!!!!!
Not shocking that a skiier was doping, but getting caught in the act and having leaked video is new.
The fact they do drug testing at all on bridge players was shocking to me.
When they caught him they said ,"you dummy!! "
Not often I get to whip out a bridge joke , but I was ready
Steve will argue this but I have been doing a ton of research on Test. I’m 48 and still “Good to go” but I have my days and am holding out until I feel I really need the Test therapy. Some of the research I have done explains that Test will help your overall well being and mental being. So possibly this is why they pee these guys, maybe the Test is making people smarter? Not sure but just a thought
<<< Helgemo’s suspension is not the first time a bridge player has been caught using banned substances. Back in 2015, the Independent reported that the World Anti-Doping Agency found prohibited substances in the systems of bridge players and anglers—but primarily concentration aids, as bridge tournaments can be marathon events (some stretch as long as two to three weeks). >>>
Fishing tournaments as well? 😲
