=** Should Athletes Be Tested For Drug Use? **= My topic is more of an argument. I want to get both sides of the story and see how each party feels about weather or not athletes should get drug tested. Some questions I have are:


 * What drugs are illegal?[[image:http://www.antville.org/static/zack/images/World%20Class%20Athletes.jpg width="255" height="363" align="right"]]
 * What drugs can fly under the radar?
 * How many athletes use drugs?
 * Are drugs an issue for high school athletes?
 * How many professional athletes have been caught using drugs?
 * What actions are being took to get rid of drug use?
