$3 Million in Student Steroid Testing Catches Two Kids

Texas taxpayers are learning one more way that they're paying for the war on drugs: by spending $3 million dollars on steroid testing that only found 2 positive tests. That's two tests out of 10,000 kids tested, indicating that the $3 million was spent on a drug that was being used by about 2 hundredths of one percent of the student population that was tested.

That's one way to blow $3 million, I suppose.
