Drug tests given 74 players who attended a minicamp for the Arizona Outlaws of the United States Football League all were negative, club officials said Friday.

“The fact we didn't have even one (positive test) is phenomenal,” team president Bill Tatham Jr. said.

The unannounced tests were given last weekend.

Tatham said under an agreement with the USFL Players Association, teams are allowed to give one mandatory test for illegal drugs per year.

“We decided to have ours now, so if there were any problems we could help the player correct it by the time the season starts in September,” Tatham said.
