Pants down, but no Saos

The annual Head of River regatta was thrown into mass confusion last weekend, as drug testers descended on the event.

Anti-doping officials have defended drug testing schoolboy rowers in the nude, saying it is a common procedure and the regatta was raided after a tip-off from an insider.

The private schoolboys, from Newington College and Sydney Church of England Grammar School (Shore), gave samples to Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority officials at an inter-school regatta on March 17.

Under the international drug-testing standard, the boys had to pull their shirts up to their chests and drop their pants in the presence of a chaperone from the authority.

According to insider sources, half of the boys grabbed their ankles after removing their pants, and the other half started looking around for a packet of Saos.

When the authorities explained to them that they had to piss into a cup, they gladly obliged, but chaos again ensued as they commenced a strange ritual to decide which of them had to drink it.

Investigations are continuing.
