Student-AthL etes and Steroid Testing by Mark F. Vetter & Daniel J. Chanen, Davis & Kuelthau, S.C. The problem of steroid use among high school athletes is an issue of growing concern. This new focus on steroid use has been fIueled by the recent flurry of media attention over steroid use among professional athletes, and congressional hearings into the use of steroids in Major League Baseball and its subsequent commitment to a new regime of steroid testing. Now, secondary school officials are beginning to ask whether it is time to test student-athletes for steroids. In December of 2005, Governor Richard Codey of New Jersey signed a new executive order mandating that the State's Department of Education and the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletics Association develop a policy lfor random steroid testing of student-athletes who participate in post- season championship play. The question facing school hoard members, state legislatures, and other policy makers is whether and how to institute a steroid testing program for student-athletes, This article discusses the legal underpinnings of instituting a steroid testing program. Drug testing in our nation's secondary schools has long been associated with athletics, When the U.S. Supreme Court first sanctioned a school's authority to implement a random drug testing policy in Vecrnonia School District 47J1 v. Acton,, 515 U.S. 646 (1995), the program at issue involved a random drug testing program for aphetami nes, cocaine, and marijuana that was specifically designed to test only those students participating in tnterscholastic athletics, In deciding to implement a drug testing program, the school district attempted to stem the rising drug use within the school community at large. The decision to test student-athletes was a response to two( specific concerns. First, student-athletes were the leaders of the drug culture, Second, drug use posed a special danger to student- athletes since drug use increases the risk of sports-related injuries. The focus of this drug testing program and others has long been to stem the rising tide of recreational drug use atnong high school students.
