The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency and the Taylor Hooton Foundation continue to fund steroid education efforts in high schools around the country. The latest steroid public service announcement was made for the benefit of students at Alta High School in Sandy, Utah (“Students get steroid warning,” April 7).
“Steroids are an illegal drug and they can cause you death, pain and emotional damage ” it all comes down to choosing right from wrong and being strong enough to encourage those around you to do the right thing,” said Les Hamilton, Alta High’s head football coach.
Coach Hamilton should compare notes with Coach Chris Connolly of Dolgeville High School in New York to maximize the effectiveness of their respective steroid education programs.
