Tougher drug testing nothing new for some players

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Potential Olympic athletes went into an anti-doping testing pool on Friday, but for many players the new protocols have been the norm for some time.

Graham DeLaet said the Canadian Olympic Committee began their testing two months ago and officials have already been to his house in Scottsdale, Ariz., to administer a test.

DeLaet also had to start the whereabouts requirement that dictates a potential Olympian must notify officials where they are going to spend each night and where they are going to be one hour out of every day.

“The first time when we sat down and tried to map it out for two and a half months it was hard because you never know where you’re going to be and you don’t know if you’re going to make a cut,” DeLaet said following his round on Friday at the Wells Fargo Championship.
