Ex-Steelers Doctor indicated for distributing anabolic steroids
 

Interesting to say the least. Wonder if this will trickle down like BALCO and some players will be named.

Duh...I'm just hoping people don't start to make a big deal out of steroids in football the way they did steroids in baseball.

They won't. Baseball is the only sports that people care about because the records that were being broken are cherished. 90% of the NFL does steroids/HGH. Another reason why the NFLPA is full of hypocrites.

James Harrison?

I hope so, cause I could really care less about baseball, but if the stupid anti-steroids in sports thing hits one of the sports I do care about, I'mma be pissed.

Will Roger be pouncing on this one?

At least hes only been indicated.

Can someone explain to me why roids and hgh are such a big deal to the feds?

Wish he'd have shared with the Pirates.

Cause they clear have nothing better to do?

*shrug*

as long as the league continues to do the 'best it can' in testing for substances, and 'ensuring' athletes 'aren't using them', i'm ok with the status quo. if that changes, then i'm all for the league getting slapped silly.

I always assumed that its because once everyone is on it, it basically forces people to start using them earlier and earlier so when everyone knows that the pros are using it, the college players all get jacked up on the same or similar substances. Once that happens, the high school players see that they need it to be a succesful college player. On top of that they can't ensure the product is any good either and could be a lot more dangerous than the kind of steroids that a professional athlete is using properly with a doctor making sure his hormones and blood aren't going insane.

Thats just based on pure assumption though. Maybe they just really like ensuring integrity...

Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). Been illegal in terms of anabolic steroids since 1938.
