IGN is reporting today that certain eSports leagues are going to begin drug testing competitors. Drug testing will appear at ESL, ESL One, and IEM league tournaments with the first tests beginning at the ESL One Cologne event this August. Apparently, certain groups have been known to use Adderall to keep focused and allegedly increase reaction times. A member, or members, of one team may have used Adderall during a recent competition where the they earned $250,000. The league announced that the competitor would not be punished "if we are not 100 percent sure he is guilty."

The whole thing sounds like an article from The Onion or some other satirical news group, but at the same time I can understand the concern of cheating and the need for a level playing field. It will be interesting to see the results and how it all affects major league gaming at large.
