RX Online: State Rep. Mike Ritze (R-Broken Arrow) plans to introduce legislation in 2012 to compel state universities to begin testing student-athletes for prescripition medication abuse. Ritze also indicated his plan could eventually encompass testing of high school athletes. Ritze said the recent death of former Enid High School star athlete and Oklahoma Sooners’ linebacker Austin Box May 19 due to a prescription drug overdose was an indication such testing is needed. “If we aren’t proactive, there are going to be more Austin Boxes,” Ritze said.
