Congressional Attempts to Strike out Steroids: Constitutional Concerns about the Clean Sports Act

Abstract

Recent allegations of widespread steroid use in professional sports has led to the introduction of several congressional bills that would require the four major professional sports leagues in the United States to impose mandatory uniform drug testing on all athletes. This Note argues that such a law would violate the Fourth Amendment's proscription against unreasonable searches and seizures. This Note also posits that drug testing professional athletes would not lead to decreased steroid use among teenagers—the desired effect of these bills—and suggests alternative measures to achieve these goals.
