Steroid Testing in High School?

AUSTIN (AP) - Texas is a hotbed of high school football.
    A key state leader is pushing to make Texas kids -- the cleanest athletes.
    Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst is proposing a sweeping program of mandatory random testing for steroids and other
performance-enhancing drugs in public schools.
    It would go far beyond football. Athletes in baseball, basketball, track and other sports likely would be tested, too.
    If approved, it would be the nation's largest program of its kind at the high school level.
    Dewhurst says he believes the program will save lives.
    Charles Breithaupt with the University Interscholastic League says many schools would argue alcohol and other drugs pose a bigger problem for them than steroids.
    Texas had 733-thousand students participated in public school sports last school year -- more than any other state.
