Major League Baseball handed out suspensions Monday as 13 players were busted for using performance-enhancing drugs.

A story in The Miami Herald revealed Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic in South Florida, illegally sold controlled substances to high school students.

In response, the Florida High School Athletic Association has asked its Sports Medical Advisory Committee to conduct a top-to-bottom review of existing standards to determine how they can be strengthened to stop the trend of PED use among professional and college athletes from spreading throughout prep sports.

Should the state test high school student-athletes for the use of performance-enhancing drugs? Why? Why not?
