20 NFL players start the year suspended for PED use

As Sean Foreman noted yesterday, 20 — 20! — NFL players are beginning the season under a drug suspension of some kind. You have to count back through four years to get to 20 major leaguers suspended for drugs. If you set aside the Biogenesis guys who were all busted without testing, you have to go back to 2007 to amount to the number of just the currently-suspended football players.

Even the extremists at the WADA grant that baseball has the best testing among North American pro sports leagues these days, so that’s not it.

that's because football fans don't really seem to give a shite. Most of the outrage came from baseball traditionalists and old school media.

They're bigger , faster, and stronger than any group of contact athletes in history. The game is now moving wider and wider from the center with bigger guys running in more space, and the schedule is calling for less and less rest between games. Things are giving (mainly connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons) due to their inability to keep up with the amount of power these guys generate. I think they are simply trying to keep up with the physical requirements of the sport.
I honestly think for long term survival of quality nfl games, players may need to scale back freakish size/strength/speed as well as the league cutting the number of games or lengthening recovery time.

While your point is good/valid, this will never ever happen
