High schools nationwide are struggling with rising steroid use, not just among football linemen battling for college scholarships but also among non-athletes who think bigger biceps will make them more popular.

Colleges Take A Shot At Steroid Testing
Despite a longtime ban on steroids in college sports and a growing body of medical research pointing to their harmful effects, many universities don't conduct regular, random drug tests. John McCutcheon, who took over recently as U Mass-Amherst's athletic director, wants to introduce random drug tests at the school to show students that the consequences of using steroids far outweigh any competitive edge athletes might think they have to offer.
