Performance-Enhancing Drugs & Steroid Education

IHSA's Sports Medicine Advisory Committee Statement
on Usage of Supplements by Student-Athletes

At their August 8, 2011, meeting, the IHSA Board of Directors approved a recommendation to continue with its Performance-Enhancing Substance Testing Program for the 2011-12 school term. The testing program will mirror in nature and scope the two previous years of testing. Any student who participates in an IHSA-sponsored or sanctioned athletic event is subject to substance testing. A full copy of the testing program and other related resources can be accessed on the IHSA Sports Medicine website. Additionally, school administrators will still be able to access the necessary resources used for program implementation in the IHSA Schools Center.
