Espejo, Roman. "Drug Testing." Teen Health and Wellness. Rosen, 2010. Web. 6 Oct. 2010. http://www.teenhealthandwellness.com/article/133/drug-testing.

        This article gives you both sides in which are the arguments for drug testing and for against drug testing. It also gives you alot of examples of what they do to drug test of what kind of states drug test in high school sports. Also its perfect for both sides of drug testing because it gives you examples of both.

       High school athletes in New Jersey, Texas, and Illinois are tested for steroids and other illegal performance enhancing drugs. These are examples of why people are for drug testing. The U.S. General Accounting Office believes  that drug abuse costs the United States $110 billion a year. Alcohol and drug-related automobile crashes are the leading cause of death for high school students.

       Now these are exaples of why people are against drug testing. People belive that it is wrong to drug test because one of our cherished civil rights the right to privacy. Another was that a police officer came into a school without a warrant to search peoples backpacks, and sniffing dogs came and they found drugs. Some of the people though that it was un justified because the police officer didnt have a warrant.
