I can understand testing for performance enhancing drugs but why test for performance reducing drugs 
On a serious not, the artilce said: "Witnesses claim that after being told he could be fined, Ozil kicked a door in frustration..." If it was that easy, athletes would be on drugs, refuse to take the rest and just pay the fine. I don't know the exact rules in football, but in most other sports if one fails to show up at a drug test one will be suspended.

Mesut Ozil kicked a door in anger at White Hart Lane with Arsenal future still in doubt
Mesut Ozil said farewell to White Hart Lane by taking his Arsenal frustration out on a door in the aftermath of the final north London derby to be played at Tottenham Hotspur’s traditional home.
While Ozil failed to make an impact on the pitch during Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat, the German made his mark off it amid growing doubts over his future."Witnesses claim that after being told he could be fined,"
Ozil reacted furiously to being told he must take a drugs test after Tottenham’s comfortable victory and initially attempted to refuse to go through the timely procedure.
Witnesses claim that after being told he could be fined, Ozil kicked a door in frustration, leaving his stud marks on it, before begrudgingly agreeing to be tested.
It is understood that Ozil was unhappy with the number of times he has been nominated for drugs testing this season, although his anger also points towards a wider frustration.
Ozil is yet to sign a new contract at Arsenal and the saga appears to have had an impact on his performances with the Tottenham defeat the latest in a line of poor displays.
Fenerbahce are the only team to have shown a real interest in trying to sign Ozil in the summer.
Sources close to Arsenal have told Telegraph Sport for some time that the club would listen to offers for Ozil while they fight to try to keep their other star contract rebel Alexis Sanchez.
With interest apparently thin on the ground and his performances well off their best, Arsenal could well attempt to call Ozil’s bluff by refusing to increase their last contract offer which the 28-year-old stalled over.
Ozil has claimed that he wants to know whether or not manager Arsene Wenger is staying before making a decision on his future and is desperate for Arsenal to be competitive.
