To simplify my views on steroids, A) I'm all for adults being able to use steroids for recreational purposes because we should have the freedom to do what we want (in reason), and B) I don't approve of high schoolers juicing because most of them aren't informed enough to get\/use quality gear, and their bodies already produce enough HGH for the both of us.<\/p>\n
That being said, I'm still adamantly against high school steroid testing because I think it's a total waste of taxpayer resources. High schoolers rarely test positive for roids, and the tests cost around $100 per student. <\/p>\n
Even still, the state of Texas didn't exactly share my view since they implemented testing in 2008 to rid their phantom problem of high school steroid usage. Fortunately, they seem to be coming to their senses after putting well over $6 million into a program that turned up 20 positive results after the first 50,000 tests. If you do the math, that's 6 million poorly spent dollars, and 1 in every 2,500 athletes that tested positive.<\/p>\n
With much larger problems at hand like gun violence, deteriorating classrooms and a declining amount of teachers, I think Texas is doing the right thing by ditching their worthless high school steroid testing.<\/p>\n
