When he was caught by school authorities, Steve blamed the society’s failure to meet the medical and health care needs of the poor and he is only doing what is best for the sick and dying person. Steve is performing well in his studies and attends classes regularly. He is a basketball varsity player and has no record of using prohibited drugs.
