Answer: Drug tests of athletes were reasonable searches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vernonia school district had a instituted a policy that allowed them to randomly test athletes for drug abuse because they worried that athletes using drugs would negatively influence other students as well as their risk of sports related injury increasing.

A family called the Actons, refused to sign a consent form that would subject their son to such tests and the case went all the way to the Supreme Court which ruled that their son's Fourth Amendment rights were not violated because drug tests were reasonable searches.
