“Realistically, we’re looking at the end of October,â€Â

our coachs told us that we even need to go to our doctors to make sure the prescription medication we're taking doesnt have any kind of steriods.
before my mom would sign the steriod testing form that all athletes and their parents in the state had to sign before any kind of competion she called my doctor, b/c they're making this such a serious issue.
