What do you think is wrong with this sentence?
**Some = adj, modifying subject "athletes"
**athletes = noun, subject
**have taken = main verb
**drug tests = direct object (whether you want to call "drug" an adj, modifying "tests" or call "drug tests" a compound noun is up to you)
**to prove = infinitive
**[that] = unwritten, but understood relative pronoun, introducing subordinate clause
**they = pronoun, subject of subordinate clause
**are = verb in the subordinate clause
**not = adv, modifying the verb
**on = preposition
**steroids = noun, object of preposition
