I think that s ridiculous, but obviously there are some people who take steroids and play major league baseball. People try to cheat all the time. <br>Chicago White Sox Royce Clayton agrees with testing for steroids.  It sends a message that steroids are a substance you don t want to mess around with and that there is no place for them in the game. We are role models, and that s the most important thing a player has to understand. As soon as we test and the game is clean, the better it will be for everybody. <br> I would like to see testing, said Braves outfielder Gary Sheffield.  I mean you see how much guys are using it. Unless you ve got something to hide, you won t mind testing, right? <br>Kansas City Royals outfielder Mike Sweeney believes leaguewide testing might be the only way to settle the question.  If you re a player that is clean and other players are out there who are not clean, it gives the other players an unfair advantage, said Sweeney. He wants to create a level playing field.<br>I have always disagreed with calling steroids performance enhancing drugs. When you do, everyone automatically assumes steroids give a big advantage. To the contrary, steroids don t work in the long term. If I wanted to be a pennant contender year after year, I would insist that my players not go near steroids. Then we would have the advantage. In August of 2002, major league players voted to accept testing for steroids. This is further evidence that Caminiti and Canseco were wrong in their estimations of the number of players on steroids. The players are to be congratulated on their testing decision. <br>Benji Gill of the Angels said that he had faced the pressure to take steroids at the end of the 1999 season (44 percent of players acknowledge there is some pressure to take steroids to compete in the majors).  I talked to people (two doctors and a trainer) about steroids. They told me that it wasn t worth the risk. To be honest, I ve never witnessed anyone doing it, so I would never go and ask someone if they were using steroids. I just figured it wasn t worth it.

Simply put, all athletes, regardless of sport, train on the same program. The remarkable thing about this successful athletic program is that most of the gret competitors are three-sport athletes. For example, in wrestling, Lance Spencer placed third in state last year in the 189-pound class and also ran a leg on the 1,600-meter relay team that won the state title. All-State quarterback, Cody Oxarart, helped win a state championship in football and basketball and was also on the 1,600-meter relay track team that won state. What an awesome accomplishment to be able to call yourself a three-sport state champion! LeeAnn Pekovitch has achieved All-State status in track, volleyba A#;)jO;o'b9JTbY}IfXZleb;UV4Rrv'8̥U@P; H ldN6?\픥y,Kx-٥fn%5_~l !IqJ0 aB@a8J($iil<#ASFN,6w% Zn'S pň/>#1W-y NLIJaQ\YOiCXX>[ ׌Ynlb/C"@@;-Ðb,GF.RUi((/nuSrLh uޥ!G#"ϕC~ \ϋ̊#W*ޞ5v7:T[P w5^E^;3zp%ECT?:Sߢ^%V$|#:$EXLPUv(lvT-GU\^@
