Who Schedules the Drug Testing ? Was This Planned by CLM?

Several posts have suggested that the players have been suspended because this is the 2nd time they failed a test. Assuming that is the case, who then schedules the follow up testing?
If CLM has any input into this decision my opinion is that the testing was done at a time that best serves The Team and The Players by:
The Team: Timing the testing such that if suspensions are required (remember they know who the second time offenders would be) the talent / experience of the backup matches well against the players they will face.
The Players: Being suspended for a significant "payback" game like Auburn will have more of an impact than if for a minor game. The desire is to teach a memorable lesson to the actual players and to all players in general.
Basically, I'm hoping this "event" was calculated so that the impact would serve the purpose without sacrificing the season.
