Answer by kathy k
Just say no! drug free.
Answer by ???
The NFL has toughened up its drug policy, adding amphetamines to the list of banned performance-enhancers starting this season.
Amphetamines were previously listed as a “substance-abuse drug,” but are now in the same category as steroids and other enhancers that carry much stronger penalties. This season will serve as a transition year, where a first positive test would bring a warning and put a player into the drug program.

Will I Become Overweight When I Grow Up?
Question by Oliver: Will I become overweight when I grow up?
I am a 14 year old male, 5’5. I weigh 115 pounds. I exercise everyday and eat healthy. Diabetes and overweight problems run in my family. I have 6 siblings and my one sister, who is a dietitian, and one of my brothers are skinny. And me. My mom was overweight, but she had a surgery and she now craves healthier food, so she is skinny. Both sides of my family have diabetes. All my grandparents have had it. My mother will most likely not have it after her surgery. My dad was my size and active like me when he was a teen. He claims that he “abused” his diet as he grew up. I am pals with my mom and healthy sister. Will I be overweight?
