Q: Who is your favorite professional athlete and why?

Q: How do you feel about drug/alcohol testing? Should it be random or should everybody be tested at least once?

A: It has had a positive impact on our school and forces kids to do the right things. I think it should be random so athletes never know when they are going to get tested. That gives them no choice but to stay clean.
