[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 230952, member: 43589"] I remember when the state of Texas instituted steroid testing in our high schools. I felt pretty stupid having to get up in front of athletes and make that anti-steroid speech. It was almost as stupid as telling them not to smoke weed. Especially when my entire 22 years coaching I was using steroids. After over 63,000 tests, $10 million in taxpayer expenses, there were only 40 positive test results. I believe the testing started in 2008 and ended this nonsense n 2015. I also believe hearing that all 40 test were contested and found to be false positives. There is on average about 500,000 boys and 330,000 girls. Kids this age don't generally have the money or knowledge how to pass drug tests. Our biggest problems in sport were weed. By the university there is knowledge on how to beat NCAA testing. The best method is it is common knowledge when testing is going to be so everyone knows how to get clean. Since 1990, only one Division I player -- in 1996 -- has been caught with the juice in his urine as part of the NCAA's system of testing bowl-bound players for drugs. did the NCAA put the fear of God in them or are athletes smarter that they think? NFL drug testing is also done at a specific time. I have never heard of a witness being present when the urine sample was given. The suspensions only represent around 1% or fewer of all NFL players each year. But most have long has suspected the actual PED usage is far greater, much like in cycling, where admitted users avoided testing positive in drug tests. Usually only careless and stupid people get caught. Same thing in the Olympics, drug use is big time but the careless get caught. None of these people are going to be using Muscular Digest's forum of Professional Muscle where I remember seeing these surveys.
