Texas (AP) - First-year results in the nation's largest steroid-testing program caught only two Texas high school athletes cheating.
A report released by the University Interscholastic League says 10,117 public high school athletes in Texas were tested in the debut of the two-year, $6 million program.
UIL spokeswoman Kim Rogers says the two students who tested positive are multi-sport athletes, but the sports they play are unknown. The UIL didn't release the names of the students, who according to documents obtained by The Associated Press are a senior and a 10th-grader.
Four tests came back unresolved and three students refused to be tested, according to the report.
Supporters say the tests serve as a deterrent. Critics, including some lawmakers, say the program is an overreaction and waste of taxpayer dollars.
