It's been over a year since the University of Waterloo's football program was sacked by a steroid scandal, but the hit is still being felt.
The Centre for Ethics in Sport released its final report today and made some recommendations.
The first recommendation calls for a dramatic increase in the number of tests.
The second is the creation of a hotline for players and others to report suspected doping violations.
Right now only two to three per cent of players are tested for steroids and other drugs. The Centre for Ethics in Sport would like to step that up to 30 per cent.
"It's expensive but necessary" says Paul Melia with The Centre for Ethics in Sport.
They also think players should be able to voice their suspicions about doping anonymously.
"We'd like a tool to do that."
The release of the recommendations comes a day after one of the players named in the case was acquitted.
Brandon Krukowski was, at one point, charged with nine counts of trafficking. That was later reduced to just one count, on which he was found not guilty.
"Mr. Krukowski's position at all times was that he did assist fellow teammates in supplements" says his lawyer, Brennan Smart. "They were all legal products and not performance enhancing drugs that were banned by the authorities."
Krukowski says he wasn't providing the steroid turinabol, but a similar, natural, supplement. The judge agreed.
That's despite testimony from fellow players, like Matt Socholotiuk, who say they got the drug from their teammate.
Socholotiuk, a running back, was the first athlete in Canadian history to test positive for another drug, human growth hormone, or HGH.
The Centre for Ethics in Sport is still not sure where it came from, or the steroids for that matter.
Nathan Zettler is now the only player still facing drug-related charges in the scandal. His trial has yet to begin.
Meanwhile, the Waterloo Warriors are still trying to put this all behind them. The football program will resume at the university this fall.
