Do you think 'all' athletes should be tested for drugs or just some?

What ages should it start? Crazy world, too many drugs, what do you think?

It would be unwieldy to test "everyone", especially in the amateur realm. Pro sports? Probably.

I do not believe there should be drug-testing in high schools, unless there's just cause to believe specific individuals are using drugs.

As for pro- I'm not sure.

In road/track foot races only the winners need testing......if you come in last who cares?

 

[fuzzybuddy]

It depends on the event. For a Little League baseball game, maybe not. For major competitions, yes.

Maybe Olympic contesters, but professional...who cares? They are in the entertainment business.

All candidates for public office should be drug tested...

For professionals it's like cosmetic surgery for actors/actresses.

Or maybe the OP should have better crafted her OP text narrowly for what was intended.

Silken Laumann, a star Canadian Olympic rower, in 1995 ran into trouble because she inadvertently took the wrong kind of Benadryl for a cold.
