NSAA and NFHS Policy Statement on Steroids

 

The Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), strongly oppose the abuse of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing substances by high school student-athletes.  Such use violates legal, ethical and competitive equity standards, and imposes unreasonable long-term health risks.

 

The NSAA and the NFHS support prohibitions by educational institutions, amateur and professional organizations and governmental regulators on the use anabolic steroids and other controlled substances, except as specifically prescribed by physicians for therapeutic purposes.
