Doping testers should show more sensitivity to important events like this. It is apparently a problem at all levels for steroid testers who see the importance of their job exceeding all other concerns. It reminds me of drug tester who asked Kevin van Imp to provide a sample while he was making preparations for his infant son's burial.

Let me begin by saying that I aprove of all drug testing in the Public Schools. But I think there is a time it should be done. I am referring to the testing that took place at Cuero High School yesterday morning, 5/8/08, when UIL decided to do a random drug test during the Awards ceremony. As a result of this, my grandson missed his award presentations. just because he could not pee in and fill a cup. This child has worked very hard and achieved a lot. He has finished High School in 3 years and will be going to Texas A&M this fall in the ROTC progran with paid scholarship. He received many awards of which he was not present to accept. He now has on pictures to put in his school album to show his hard work. His other grandparents and aunt and uncle drove from elsewhere to support him but never got to see him reeive not one award. I believe the testing could have taken place just after the ceremony. They knew which kids that they were going to test. They could have done this after the ceremony. Where were the kids going to go? They were all marched into the gymn y class with all teachers, principles, aides, etc. I am writing so that no other child will have to go thru this. No wonder good kids go bad. All sports activities were over with. This should have been done earlier in the year. If I need to take this comment to some one else, please advise me to whom it should go. Sincerely, Mary Kahlich, concerned grandmother
