I read about this a wlhile back and did a search on it. I think I remember reading that they performed a random drug test on Pudz and Svend Karlsen (they supposedly drew their names from a hat or something like that). I don't think they tested for steroids, but instead were testing for opoids, amphetamines, etc. Anyways, Karlsen passed but Pudz supposedly failed, which is why he didn't appear in the WSM final that year even though he placed. I'll see if I can find the article on it.
