1. Do you feel it is right to drug test high school athletes?

Yes, it is necessary to keep the competitions fair between the athletes. It will keep the athletes from using drugs that will alter their performance. It will also give them more reason to not engage in illegal activity with narcotics. Athletes are representatives of schools and must do that well. They cannot represent their school well if they are buying illegal substances.
