The fact that football has basically been free of scrutiny or criticism on the steroid front is laughable



baseball got fricked over big time on the steroid front.

I have no doubt in my mind that the NFL has about 80%-90% of it's players or more using compared to about 30-50% of MLB players.

I'm the strongest now at 41 than ever.

Do I do steroids? No.

Improved supplements/eating habits.

Actually, the NFL's problem is more than just PED's... it's painkillers. And we KNOW about that - it's above board. What those guys do their bodies is pretty horrifying.

I do think there's a big difference between steroid use and steroid abuse, which is the difference between most pro athletes and the WWE, which is like the wild west. I'm not sure steroids are that harmful when done under the supervision of trained medical staff and not abused. I think making the stuff legal but regulated would make it much safer.

And cycling isn't more dirty than other psorts, it just has better testing and a complate disregard for civil liberties of athletes. Which leads to more people being caught. So actually cracking down on drugs makes you seem dirtier. You can see the disincentive for leagues to crack down on PEDs by looking at cycling.
