Secondly if you plan on sending your child to college and they are going to participate in athletics be prepared for random testing with out cause.
Interestingly, that is exactly one of the questions I asked my son's college coach. i.e. Do you submit your players to drug tests? He was caught off guard, as no one had ever asked him that question before. Coach told me that the school does not administer any drug tests on its athletes.

I am aware that the NCAA may have drug test policies, though I know none of the details. But I'm having a difficult time recalling a single NCAA athlete that has been suspended or otherwise disciplined for steroid use. I am confident in my opinion (I have no proof, just 2nd/3rd hand stories) that there is steroid use by NCAA athletes, but not convinced that the NCAA has a plan or the fortitude to enforce a plan that disciplines steroid users.
