Covering the business of education and training

Two university football players were found with liquid steroids and marijuana at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

School officials announced that beginning next fall, all football players will undergo random drug testing.

Uh...why wait until fall? Why not get them all in a room and find out today?

Official at the 8,400-student school are obviously worried about how widespread the use of steroids are.  

One of the busted ball players, the team's leader in tackles last year, told police his house was used to "buy, sell, package and store various controlled substances" including marijuana, cocaine and steroids.

Question: if a small division III school has a drug problem, what might we think of the larger Division I schools that compete for bowl games, spots on national television and whose players want to be recruited by the NFL?

One school official acknowledged they might miss catching all of this year's boneheads but "The point is to make sure that when athletes step on the field from here on in they will be drug free and everybody can be assured of that."

It's a step in the right direction,

All ballplayers...make that all competitive sports people should be drug free. It's the only way to keep the field truly level.

What do you think?
