I once read umpire Chad Brown's book. I believe it was titled "The Meatgrinder" or something like that. It mentioned that each week players were randomly chosen to have their uniforms checked for illegal substances before the game.

Vaseline on the jerseys.

The rule used to be "foreign substances." So as long as the vaseline was made in America, we are OK!!

It was the Cowboys locker room......they could have been looking for guns or drugs.
