Real winners compete drug-free. If you use performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) to improve your athletic achievements or develop a strong, muscular body, you’re cheating – it’s just that simple.

Look at the professional athletes who’ve recently been accused of using PEDs. Their accomplishments on the field aren’t so impressive anymore. Did they really get those great stats because of hard work, training and athletic ability? Or are they just the result of taking potentially dangerous PEDs, sports supplements and other substances?

You have what it takes to reach your athletic goals – dedication, discipline and determination – you don’t need to cheat to win. BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee's Healthy Competition program and the Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association (TSSAA) believe in you and your ability to succeed drug-free -- on and off the field.
