Drug Testing of High School Athletes

High school athletes doping up? What the hell? Did I miss something? As a high-school senior, I have to say I'm shocked. Even my school has some big rivalries but I highly doubt any of our athletes use performance-enhancing drugs for a boost. The risks aren't worth the rewards, especially in high school. Jeez... I guess it won't be long till we have toddlers all hopped up on steroids so they can be the first to walk.

As for the ACLU's case, I don't think they have one. Like verbatim said, you have close-to-zero rights on campus already. Besides, by voluntarily joining a sports team, you choose to abide by the school's sports-participation regulations, which, presumably, include the ban of drugs.
