Do you think Aaron Judge is taking PEDs? ~

He's a huge guy with big arms, and he's hit a lot more home runs than anybody else this year. I wonder how frequently players get tested.

I’d hope not, but you never really know....however, I’d suspect that players who have hit a lot of home runs over the past few years might be “randomly tested” more often than the average player.

@DragonFruit I suspect that is covered in the collective bargaining agreement, and testing is permitted with the same frequency for all players.

@RedBaron I think it’s supposed to be random, which wouldn’t insure the same frequency for all players but should work in a way that’s fair and truly random (not targeting anyone)....but that’s another thing you never really know. The idea is that if you’ve been tested recently, you shouldn’t presume that you won’t be tested again soon (as that would have a way that players could get around it).
