An article written by staff writer Terrence Dopp on nj.com, stated that school officials in New Jersey will start testing school athletes for illegal use of human growth hormone and steroids.
The order was issued by acting Lt. Governor Richard Codey, after the results of a study conducted by a task force that Codey created.
The study showed that “3.4% of high school seniors nationwide, 2.4% of 10th graders, and 1.9% of eighth graders,” have used either human growth hormone or steroids.

"used either human growth hormone or steroids" is very misleading, these two substances are very different, and would be used for many different reasons. Steroids are likely going to be used by athletes, but HGH could be used for purely vanity reasons.
