Footballers Are All On Drugs
Image that, the NFL players union is against testing for HGH (human growth hormone). Yeah, because guys that are 6'5" 310 lbs normally run 4.5 forties.
Its funny that baseball gets all the crap for steroids when its clearly the football players are the ones who use it the most. Just wait another 10-15 years and watch all the players from the 1980s-1990s who are dropping dead from prolonged exposure to the stuff.
Football is so violent that most players say that they are useless the day after a game and that a short week (playing Thursday after a Sunday, four days) is a detriment. Tell me these guys are not on steroids, the main benefit of which is quicker recovery from injuries and workouts.
I'm not saying that baseball players didn't do steroids, the home run stats bare that out, and just wait until you see Barry Bonds again, he's going to be half the size he was and his head will be three sizes smaller.
But the players that would benefit the most from the drugs would be the football players. Their careers are short enough (see LaDainian Tomlinson & Michael Westbrook), the window for them to make the huge money is tiny. I think they get a pass on doing the stuff because of the immense popularity of the sport. Right now football reigns supreme as a sport and it sickens me that they get a free pass on things like this. Don't even get me started on the free passes they get on their nighttime escapades on party boats, strip clubs, etc.
They all seem to forget about Lyle Alzado, I know he died of cancer, but the effects the steroids had on him were significant and visible.
Like I said, just wait another 10-15 years and when these guys start dropping like leaves off a tree in fall, you'll know I was right.
