I disagree with half the reviewers on this one. I do not believe anyone's 4th amendment rights are violated by random drug testing, providing that they were told it was a possibility. (I.E. students before they join the football team, employees before they accept employment etc) However, if they are NOT informed that random testing may be conducted, then yes, I'd say that's a violation.

Random testing is by definition in violation of the 4th Amendment!

well fought Case. Both sides of this case had awesome examples and reasons.

I believe that drug testing is invading the 4th Amendment right. I do not believe that random drug testing is helping to get rid of drugs for athletes it is just making them find loop-holes to get around it.

This was certainly the right decision. If you've got some football player high on drugs, its probably not good to have him out on the field. Not only is he a danger to himself, but a danger to others, given that his judgment and coordination could be impaired. Drug testing for student athletes is something that I completely support. Drug testing is not invading anyone's 4th Amendment right. The conditions for random drug testing are completely laid out and explained to them before the student joins the athletic team.
