Also for Brosky. There is no official standard protocol via the NCAA or the SEC as to PED testing. It's not as though they have not tried on the NCAA's end but the leagues and some of the schools have always found ways to shut it down .

Each school usually has a penalty schedule for testing positive and most have a policy of random testing. However, there is no requirement that they must have one that they must report. Meaning, that the University of Alabama or any public university is not obliged to make the testing results of student athletes public. They can publish if they want. Auburn has basically a two strikes and you are out rule. 1st offense, suspension for 50% of the games that season. Florida has almost a zero tolerance on PED's - see Will Grier.

The NCAA does do testing before bowl games, but they don't do it in the off season where if reports are to be believed, is when most of the use occurs usually ending sometime before the end of June

For PEDs specifically or just drug testing in general?

The NCAA is busy as hell then, because there are +30 bowl games, then the playoffs. That's a shite ton of athletes to get piss samples from.

Looked it up. Seems like it's pretty much everything, wish they would specify a little more though
