Never Drug tested: Aaron Fike said he competed in the 'Craftsman Truck Series' races while he was on heroin!

From ESPN: "... "In the 10 years that I've raced, I've never been drug-tested," Harvick said. "To me, that's not a proper drug policy for a professional sport. We haven't made any headway whatsoever on the drug-testing policy."

Harvick and Stewart were reacting to an ESPN The Magazine story this week in which former driver Aaron Fike said he competed in Craftsman Truck Series races while he was on heroin.

Baseball, football, NASCAR, basketball, the more money a sport makes the less chance its athletes will be vigorously drug tested. That is my conclusion. Doping is never okay, but the degree of punishment towards a swimmer when caught is certainly more severe than that of a lineman or outfielder. [Link]
