Not at all...but playing sports (and being truly invested in what they play) can certainly affect their decision-making process when they weigh the temptations vs. what they can gain and what they can lose.

I'd put my team up for a drug screening any day of the week with no worries of being "crippled" by the results. They know what I expect of them, both on and off the field. Not saying it eliminates all the indiscretions, but I do believe them to be "a cut above."

I've got good news and bad news...
