They don't even ban drugs. Look how many HS superstars do nothing significant once they're in an arena where they test. Truly the wild west in the HS world.
I made a similar thread not to long ago. I think it is very possible. One thing to note is that drug testing is a regular thing in highschool. I believe we do it in the first week or two of every month. I go to a small school with a graduating class of 140. I'm sure it varies drasctically among highschools and the states though. Plus taking preformance enhancers in highschool wouldn't be beneficial on most scales because kids aren't putting in enough work for them to take affect. You can drink protein shakes but you aren't going to get stronger if you don't work out.
I have been coaching HS for several years and my athletes have never been drug tested.

Exactly. Football more of a juice-fest from what people say.
Walked into a meet behind 3 "HS" hammer throwers. Either they were 7 yr seniors or had an hgh pipeline. Pretty funny actually.
Whenever I see a kid wearing a pair I explain why they should be illegal and ask them to willingly hand them over
I think it's pretty much up to us to fight the good fight and amicably confiscate all of the shoes we think are illegal
Honestly once you explain to the kids why they're cheating they pretty much don't want anything to do with them
There was a bunch of kids on the track running with them and I lectured them for a couple hours and once they had been persuaded by my logic, we incinerated all of those types of shoes
Then we dug up that fancy new track which gives an unfair advantage and we got down to a nice dirt track just, just like in olden times
We also took all of the automobiles we could find and replaced them with horses and Buggies
I mean let's not get crazy we don't have to go back to the Stone Age but certainly the Bronze Age would be nice
I then went around the school and convinced all the kids start using calling cards and get rid of their smartphones.!
I mean come on guys calling cards are the wave of the future. Imagine being able to search out and find any public phone and not have to put quarters in it
You can make a phone call without having to carry a big bag of quarters around. Just use your card and punch in like 30 digits into the phone. And then wait a minute while the operator connexu
I hope you guys all Follow My Lead.
You spent a lot of time on that post and it's really boring. I couldn't even finish it.

The money in your wallet should be illegal.
You need to stop cheating, and hand it over to me immediately.
I expect you to do this willingly, now that you understand you've been cheating.
Puffer wore than at VA Showcase, didn't seem to make a 4% difference:
You expect the National Federation to ban a shoe before IOC, World Athletics (IAAF) does?

Did you read the question in my post?
I obviously read it too quickly. Hard to tell if the NFHS would ban the shoe if it were ruled against by World Athletics.
