Drug Use Among Student Athletes

In June 1995, the US Supreme Court passed a law to randomly and randomly check students participating in extracurricular activities or sports activities. Votes from 6 to 3 decided to enact the law. In today's society, young people and young people are victims of drug poisoning. Young student athletes are facing low pride, pressure from colleagues, anxiety. Student athletes fill illegally the gap in their lives by using drugs (including steroids) and alcohol. Whether school officials have the right to conduct random drug tests against student athletes.

Between high school athletes at Oregon's two schools, the use of drugs and alcohol was hindered by undeniable drug testing policies. All the students must participate. This is a precondition for sports participation. The results show that the randomized drug test policy greatly reduces the self-reporting of recent performance-enhancing substances and reduces general drug abuse to a lesser extent, but does not cause drug use and associated long-term changes It showed that. Young athletes take high-risk behavior (Goldberg et al., 2003). In addition, the use of tobacco and alcohol has not changed. This result suggests that at least a limited efficacy may be associated with adequate evidence of damage to student athletes when targeting a particular drug class (steroid). The authors of the survey warned that the results should not be interpreted excessively, indicating that the effectiveness of the test is appropriate intervention.

Drug testing policy varies from high school to high school, but since the National University Sports Association (NCAA) has set basic guidelines for drug testing for student athletes, some degree of unity among universities Yes. There is a page specific to student athlete's drug test on NCAA's website. Currently, NCAA prohibits drugs by category, including all substances related to this type of chemical substance. Examples of banned drugs are street drugs, antiestrogens, anabolic agents, stimulants, etc. NCAA also prohibits the use of masking agents such as diuretics

NCAA is part of the modern drug test campaign. NCAA founded the Drug Education Committee in August 1970, feared that college students would increase the possibility of drug abuse. At the annual general meeting of 1971, NCAA members passed a resolution condemning the use of non-therapeutic drugs in college sports and said that such use violates the principles of NCAA's ethical behavior. In 1984, representatives of the NCAA Conference approved the resolution of the Pacific Top Ten Conference, instructing the NCAA Executive Committee to develop an NCAA Tournament Test Plan. The play-off drug test program of the first, second and third division was approved in 1986. This includes inspection of medical marijuana and permission of medical exception of therapeutic drugs. In 1988, the Sports Security and Sports Medicine Committee (CSMAS) took over responsibility for NCAA drug education and testing programs.
