POKER UPDATE
by jim on June 11, 2008
Are Poker players athletes? I guess if you consider the endurance factor, playing for many hours non stop while under tremendous mental stress, they just might be intellectual athletes.
So, performance enhancing drugs have been introduced to the world of professional Poker, and it will be interesting to see if they have an effect, either positive or negative, and whether or not anyone will admit to using them.
"Gamma Labs" has introduced its testosterone laced performance enhancing drug Gamma-O Plus Pomegranate at the "World Series Of Poker" being held at The Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
The drug is supposed to improve alertness and stamina and is geared more for mind dependent competitions such as Poker tournaments.
How long will it be before there are post tournament drug tests of the winners of Poker tournaments?
Here's a list of WSOP events that are available live, on the Internet.

So this is turning into a sports story because they are competing and using energy drinks? Please. "Performance enhancing drugs" are used by MANY people for MANY reasons. What do you think truckers use them for? Or students? Does that make truck driving or studying sports? Whether or not poker is a sport isn't my point; it's just kind of simple-minded to suddenly see it as a sport because the people engaged in it are drinking energy drinks or popping caffeinated pills to stay awake.
