Honestly, at the school I teach/coach at-Catholic school in SW Ohio-I don't think this is a problem. Supervising the weight room for the football team, I don't see any guys w/ the phenomenally ripped upped physiques-or acne/hair trigger tempers-to suggest that steroid use is a problem-and hopefully will never be, I'd like to think our kids have good heads on their shoulders. Have you guys had problems or suspicions at your schools?

No chance where I'm at...kids could not afford them.

We've had problems with kids lifting on weed and occasionally coke, but no roids I've ever heard of or suspected

I've heard rumors... because most kids in Jersey have funds.. but what was really shocking is that I've heard from numerous trainers that kids (HS and college athletes) are working out while using ecstacy...

Not a coach, but the former coach at my alma mater had more of a problem with narcotics than with performance drugs. I forget the full story, but he busted a kid on the football team hiding blow in the lockerroom, kicked him off the team, and then was forced (somehow) to reinstate him. When I catch my roommate tomorrow, I'll post more details on how this one happened.
