Testing 1-2-3
This just in. The University Interscholastic League has created the protocol it will follow to perform mandatory steroid testing of high school student athletes. The new mandatory testing comes as a result of Senate Bill 8, passed this spring.
The protocol is basically a set of rules and guidelines, including definitions of steroid-testing related terms, and an explanation of how athletes become ineligible. It also lists all the banned substances.*
UIL has not selected a date this program will begin, but it is allowing the public 14 days to provide any feedback about the above protocol.
*Why do pharmaceutical names all have to be so complicated? My dad is a pharmacist and a Chinese immigrant, and I can't imagine him trying to pronounce these drug names WHILE he was just getting comfortable with English.
