Over the past decade, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has sanctioned athletes from pretty much every sport: cyclists and soccer players, water poloists and weightlifters, rowers and wrestlers, boxers and archers, baseball players and track-and-field athletes have all been found guilty of doping. Professional players use performance- enhancing drugs. So do Olympic athletes. And so do high school athletes. A study done in 2012 by the U.S. government found that about 1 out of every 31 high school students have used steroids at least once without a doctor’s prescription . Many more have used some other form of doping.
