I bring this up every year for a simple reason. Kids in the mountains are using this junk to get an unfair advantage. And what is really painful - they flaunt it. They brag to their buddies (who tell me about it). They post their flex pictures on Facebook. They gain 50 lbs on their bench in a matter of weeks and the coach lets it go.

And then you have the kids who refuse to cheat. They work their butts off every day only to see the jerks who cheat get bigger and faster than they are. In the long run the clean athletes always win where it counts as they have not sacrificed their integrity for an ill-gotten adavantage.

Still - something MUST be done. Cheaters suck and they deserve to be called out and their teams disqualified from winning titles and the players from being named for awards. This will only happen when All-State and All-Region candidates are tested for steriods. If you are going to give a kid an award (over every other kid) that will help him win a $100K scholarship should he not be willing to prove he is not a CHEATER?

I detest the way parents, coaches, and officials have turned a blind eye to this epedemic. Are there others who feel the same way or is this just "the way it is?"
