Ryan Webber (FGCU) Fair Play?
According to steroidabuse.com in 2006 2.6% of high school students admitted to using steroids once in their life. A few years ago(06-07) a high school in my home town took on accusations from other local high school who were accusing most of their wrestling team of using HGH (Human Growth Horomones) and Steriods. The school even underwent Federal investigation because it was believed that a father of one of the wrestlers was providing such drugs to the team members. Over the last few years the school had taken its athletic program to the next level due to many transfers, most of whom were wrestlers and involved in the steriod scandal. The school took on these accusations because the same year their wrestling program had became the smallest school in Florida high school history to win a team state title. This sent up red flags out to all of the other local schools who felt something was wrong anyways. By the time the investigation began at the school it ended. Their isnt much investigating to be done becasue it is illegal to test high school students for steriods(this was during the time of the investigation, that may have changed by now becase i have read that texas has been leaning toward allowing testing). The question i pose to you is do you think it is right to test high school students for steroids? I personally feel that it should be allowed, if kids are making illegal decisions like this then they should not be protected by the law.

While there are those accomplished athletes whose motivation to use and/or abuse HGH and steroids so that they can be bigger-better-faster in order to catch the scouts eye and receive that coveted scholarship or contract; many athletes feel that, because they are just on the edge and in fear of not being able to, or invited to, compete, they need that little something extra to put them over the top. Does it make it right? No. But by understanding the motivation, we will have a better opportunity to provide an alternative solution to these athletes, whil protecting from the harmful side-effects that are prevelant with mis-using these types of drugs.

What if there was a drug that would make me a better teacher? Would it be a problem if I took it?
Today teachers are in competition in much the same way as athletes, with better teachers able to get jobs at better schools, and thus earn better pay. So would taking such a drug be cheating?
