I don't know why you're using Texas as the scapegoat for your story. Steroid use is widespread throughout the country. I think that your story could've provided a lot more information on the topic without the bashing of Texas. And what the hell does Haliburton have to do with steroids?

Waste
Just another way the govt is wasting our money.
