Mandatory steroid drug test in texas

[samoth]

So you would pump your child full of gear at 16 if they played football???

What if it meant a $30,000/year Ivy athletic scholarship?

There's money in HS athletics, even if not directly in the student's hand.

I really could care less if high school athletes are using gear or not. if you want to test kids ofr something test them for rec drugs or booze. we are sending a bad message to kids about juice and telling them that rec drugs are less harmful than trying to imrove physical performance. and it does upset me that we the people have to flip the bill

the use of gear by young men, playing football is justified. there is a window of opportunity (age wise) that should be siezed by any athlete of a young age. at any cost. we all use it recreationally now and it is OK I guesspoint being if any age is justified it is at a yonger age when it could mean pursueing a dream or free schooling.

i hope you don't have kids man, and if you do I hope God saves their souls and protects their health from your idiotic train of thought on the use of steroids. God forbid we see the day when your kid comes steps up in the Tee Ball league poppin homeruns over the other 6 year olds in the 225 ft field, as you yell 'thats right son just like Barry, seize the opportunity, while you're young, woooo we're gonna be RICH'

Risk your childs life and health for $30,000-$120,000? Its even worse if the parents are involved. Its like selling your kids soul.

if the kid is good enough to play the the college level, the LAST thing that I would do is gve him the go-a-head for gear. NEVER, never, would I teach my son (1) that it's OK to do something illegal in certain circumstances in athletics, (2) to jeopardize his future by fucking something up with his body. period. If that means that I'll use the money that I have set aside already for him, so be it. Or I"ll send him to a JR college first to get the exposure that he needs.
Yes, I have a son who is talented, he plays hockey and baseball, usually leads the scoreing and batting average each year. He isn't yet HS age, but I'd never let or turn a blind eye to him using gear.

Thats the truth man, K to you Bondsman

for one its not your decision ... for 2 or any dads as whether or not your kid is going to do the gear bro. these are decisions that I have ssn made a 100 plus times by friends/team-mates. if you want to play/excel/compete you do what you have to do. i have seen the most academic tight asses go that route. doctors lawyers now and in perfect health.and of course I am not going to put my kids on gear. at any age I dont even by cigs or beer for strangers that hang outside the store waiting for buyers.

i made the decision myself back in the day and have no regrets. but yeah i would rather see my kid use gear than be hooked on weed or oc's like half the lot of kids these days. it could make the difference between getting a full scholi to pursue a dream rather than saying "jimmy took the gear and played at auburn 4 years and had not a hitch in health whatsoever"

I think you are buying into the media hype and justifying your own use. that is by all intents and purposes for no reason. where as a young kid has a window to seize. I honestly have 100 literally of documanted cases on this..about 300 to be exact......songs of experiance is all I sing bro

Well K to you bro for standing behind your opinion. The sad but true fact is that kids are getting an edge using juice at such a young age, fortunately some people feel the need to correct it through drug testing. Of course some kids will find a way to get passed the drug test but those will be truly determined kids that have either done research, or are being coached and fed steroids. For the most part the testing will discourage a majority of the kids looking for a quick muscle fix. If you choose to condone the use of steroids by kids with immature bodies, brains, and a tumultous sea of raging hormones more power to you, but I strongly disagree. But again K to you for standing up for your opinion.

no biggie bro for sure, just been there done that is all. we are talking at most a cycle of test cyp for 12 weekes during the summer or 50 winny. MG's we laugh at to get a bit of an edge. cuz most of the young kids cant afford a retarded cycle. at least in my cases. i am thinking if my kid ( i dont have any) said to me I used juice to excel. at least i would be able to say lets see the doc to see what damage you have done so young. and not finding out he is using a substance that may kill him after one use or cause $$ or household items to go missing. which I have seen and it isnt pretty. lesser of 2 evils for sure. if the case was OC's/Heroin or gear I would help with what knowlege i know about and i have seen. I have a liberal parent mind set, even telling my baby girl to be careful rather than abstain from sex.

kool i got it, you just don't want the testing to come out of your pocket, understandable. but you do agree kids should be tested? I know the difference in demand on high school players isn't any greater in Texas alone, but it is greater in small towns. A kid living in a big town gets easier recognition and has more available options to choose from. In smaller rural towns Friday night high school football is the only entertainment for many, and the career options are Walmart, The Army, or college for any high school athlete thats big and fast enough to bring the big college recruiter to the school. I lived in a small town, Muskegon MI, really small, and i also lived in Los Angeles, I currently live in San Diego, and I've definately seen the difference.

What the fuck? You guys want big brother to save the children from themselves at the expense of the rest of us? Where's the parents at? It's the parent's responsibility to keep their kids off of drugs. Parenthood doesn't "just happen" Especially these days with the morning after pill, ru486, etc. If you can't handle the responsibilities of parenthood why should the government charge the rest of us to do the parents job? I wasn't there during the moment of lust when the kid was created, so why should I be penalized for it by tapping into my wallet??? The problem is that nobody wants to be held accountable for shit anymore. When I was a kid if you did drugs it was cuz your parents were fuck ups. This hasn't changed, but the blame has been wrongfully transferred elsewhere.

Otherwise, I'm all for drug testing-give me the drugs-and I'll test them.
