Over the past decade, anabolic steroid abuse and the use of other performance-enhancing drugs has become a national concern.
Androgenic-anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are banned by major amateur and professional sports authorities. Individuals of various ages abuse steroids, but it is the abuse among high school students which is a particular problem.
WHY SHOULD SCHOOLS AND SPORTS CLUBS TEST FOR STEROIDS
Using steroids without a prescription can cause serious, adverse health effects. Using steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs can give an unfair advantage over the competition, and is cheating. Testing for steroids can help deter their use among school pupils. Steroids are drugs that should only be used to treat medical conditions. Possession, use or dealing of most steroids without a prescription is illegal.
Schools recognizes that it will take a community-wide effort by parents, coaches, pupils, teachers and physicians to attack this growing challenge. Steroid testing is one tool that can assist in discouraging pupils from taking steroids.
CURRENTLY STEROID TESTING PROGRAMS ARE IMPLEMENTED AT SCHOOLS AS FOLLOWS:
Any pupil can be tested. The school will carry the cost of the initial test but in cases of positive results the follow up tests’ costs will be for the parents’ account. Testing can be conducted at any time of the year, pre-season, during a particular season or after. Testing will not be restricted to any one particular sport.
The programme will be administered in two ways:
Internal testing by the school through Drug Detection International (DDI). Violations here, as a result of a positive test, will be penalised in accordance to the school policy and will not be reported to S.A. Institute of Drug Free Sport (SAIDS)
Drug Detection International (DDI) does not report to SAIDS as we form part of internal testing policy and programs for substance abuse for all organization, we are not a national sports federations. Drug Detection International (DDI) is a privately owned company aiding all organizations in a preventative, wellness environment to support with the eradication of substance abuse. We feel as strongly about illicit drug-, alcohol-, over the counter drug abuse and doping eradication as we do about servicing a need in the interest of the health and well-being of all individuals.
DDI'S PRETESTING POLICY WILL BE ENFORCED IN EVERY SITUATION AND IS NOT NEGOTIABLE “PRETESTING
DDI's Sports testing policy forbids any person, including a healthcare provider from using DDI's contracted laboratory services to engage in pre-testing or otherwise aid any athlete in attempting to avoid detection of use of banned drugs. “Pre-testing” is the analysis for drugs in order to determine the positive or negative status of an individual’s urine prior to the testing of this individual by an athletic governing body or organization, which prohibits or penalizes the use of these drugs.
Furthermore, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Client represent and warrant that each specimen forwarded to DDI for testing is not for “Pre-testing” as defined above or intended to assist an athlete or individual in avoiding the detection of use of banned drugs, including but not limited to anabolic steroids."

WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR DRUG DETECTION INTERNATIONAL'S (DDI) SERVICES?
A monumental need exists within South Africa for quality drug detection and substance abuse resources. The USA and UK started drug-free work place programs over 30 years ago.
By not focusing on substance abuse as a serious threat to productivity we have also exposed ourselves to the uncontrolled spread of HIV/Aids.
Substance abuse in South Africa is a serious problem affecting profitability and the health of our employees that will inevitably lead to a down turn in our economy. Drug Detection International identified this need and aim to develop drug and alcohol-free programs in every organization across Africa.
By educating businesses about the dangers of substance abuse and introducing them to new technology we can reduce risk and increase the rate of early intervention.
For too long companies have been blissfully unaware of the huge threat on their bottom line and never been introduced to the potential return on investment to be derived from successful Drug-free work place programs.
