Expanded Government - Another $15 million wasted
I forgot to mention that the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 not only increases the number of AAS on the controlled substance list. It has directly increased our federal budget by $15 million to implement "science-based [sic] education programs in elementary and secondary schools to highlight the harmful effects of anabolic steroids." (emphasis added)
While I agree that reducing the use of AAS among teenagers is a desirable goal, I am not sure I agree with the use of inaccurate AAS info to achieve this goal. And does throwing more money at the problem help?
Anyway, I am doing my own research into the ATLAS program that the ASCA of 2004 recommends as the basis for such education programs to qualify for government grants.
Here are some references for your own information:
