What is the justification for drug testing football players for non-performance enhancing.

..drugs? I can see if the drug gives a competitive advantage, then the NCAA has to stop cheating. But, the tests for other drugs, that are not performance enhancing, but are illegal - what is the reason? Shouldn't they have to test all students and not single out the athletes of major sports?

They are illegal?
Its not that difficult. Free tuition, free room and board, opportunity to make millions in nfl and one of the few things you have to do is not smoke weed.
Dumbasses still smoke weed.

What's the justification for using drugs, when you know it can terminate your eligibility?

The NCAA tests for PEDs because of the unfair advantage - that's what the NCAA is setup to police. The NCAA doesn't test for weed or other intoxicating drugs because there is no advantage to those drugs and that's outside of the NCAA's scope.

News flash. We live in a police state.

The purpose of the drug-testing program is to deter student-athletes from using performance-enhancing drugs, and it impacts the eligibility of student-athletes who try to cheat by using banned substances. The NCAA tests for steroids, peptide hormones and masking agents year-round and also tests for stimulants and recreational drugs during championships. Member schools also may test for these substances as part of their athletics department drug-deterrence programs.

I see no justification at all for testing for non-performance enhancing drugs. I do not see why it's legal to drink alcohol and not legal to smoke weed.

Drug testing is flawed in college football. Just about every football player smokes weed and a lot of it too. They really don’t care that much about pot trust me

There is none.
LSU should abolish its drug testing program, it serves no purpose other than to punish kids because adults say they shouldn’t use drugs.
