I would be utterly shocked if they don't. It is absolutely critical to keeping the players in optimum shape over a season. If they didn't test all that it is pretty neglegent and are they just guessing at how to do it!?

This is also negligent :smile:

These threads only seem to come up when we are not doing well and people are looking for excuses. It's not wrong to have a reasonable social life, i doubt there is a 'drinking culture'.

Maybe they should all go out and drink more as the man many were lauding as player of the season on here is certainly partial to a few shandies.

Is this thread still rumbling on?! There is no drinking culture nor is there any evidence. What is there left to discuss? Actually don’t answer that because this thread just needs to fall off Page 1 and disappear :)

Not quite true - as one of our players found out recently....

I'm not outing the player on here - but as stated by others there have been players sighted in town in situations which are probably not wise. In this recent case the players behaviour fell well short of what most people would deem acceptable even if it was a night off.

This just adds to the hyperbole though, there’s nothing substantiated. Just judgements of situations that are probably entirely reasonable?

My understanding is that players gamma glutamyl transferase levels are checked by blood tests routinely every 14 days, and occasionally ad-hoc if suspicion is aroused. GGT levels are elevated when extended consumption of alcohol takes place, and they cannot be masked or hid. The simplest way to bring GGT levels down is to reduce alcohol consumption quickly, and for a sustained period. The club knows precisely who is drinking what levels, therefore. And gets new news every fortnight, to enable action to be taken. High GGT is a very serious impediment to performance and endurance.

When you say it is your 'understanding'... do you mean that you know for a FACT that the Albion test the first team players in this way?
