Steriod Testing In Texas May Be Delayed

High School football practice began in the Lone Star State Monday, but the nation's first steriod testing program wasn't ready. In the spring, the state passed legislation mandating random steriod testing for high school athletes, but as of Monday, a contractor still isn't in place to run the $3-million dollar program. Right now the state is sifting through 14 contractors that submitted bids to run the nation's largest random steriods testing program. Officials say it will take a little bit of time to make a decision on the administrator of the program, but most believe that the testing will begin sometime during the season.
