SALT LAKE CITY -- A state-funded study wasn't able to find a link between meth exposure and officer illness, but that didn't stop the Utah Legislature from funding treatment.

Senate Republicans allotted $100,000 toward a Scientology-based program.

The money should be enough to put 20 police officers through the treatment which includes exercise, sauna time and antioxidants.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports the money is meant to help officers who say investigating meth labs permanently damaged their health.
