It's a non alcoholic event where

But many students take the whole

These are pictures from Fairfax

Radford called in nearby police
agencies to help control the crowd.

Officers say at one point at
least two thousand people were on
Fairfax street.

Throughout the whole weekend,
police wrote more than 400 citations.

Most were alcohol related...
ranging from open containers to

Steroid testing began in the
minor leagues five years ago.

Players are randomly tested
several times before and during the
season.

Last year, less than two percent
of the tests were positive.

A player caught taking the
performance enhancing drug faces a 15
game suspension for the first offense
-- and this year, players will be
publicly identifed for their drug use.
