A budget crunch has left the Nevada State Athletic Commission unable to
employ one of the most significant deterrents to the use of performance
enhancing drugs in professional competition.
Two years after the influential regulatory body announced it would
conduct out-of-competition drug testing, legislators completely
withdrew funding for the program.
The NSAC will soon decide whether to press legislators on a proposal to
reinstate testing, possibly by diverting funds within the commission’s
budget.
