Because of Conseco's book, it opened up a can of worms. Everyone called him a lier until people started coming forward.

I've had various friends who've played college football at various levels and they all say it's about 50%.  Most of them were not Div. I-A though.  I would suspect it's more common there than it is in the lower divisions.

The NFL has a strict drug testing policy. There are no players in the NFL using steroids. Thank you.

One of the guys I played football with in high school is an NFL defensive back...has been for the last several years. He says it's most...he can't say a certain percentage, just that it's most use AAS.

One of my closest friends, former pro baseball player for the Colorado Rockies, says that it's almost 100% in the minor leagues and while not 100% in the big show it's pretty close there too. He says now that the heat has been put on these guys they are having to find more ways to be creative with what they use.

These athletes will always use performance enhancing drugs, this is a fact. If it gets to a point where they absolutely cannot, it will destroy those sports...people won't watch. And I think the big names in Washington know this...their whole witch hunt in sports is more smoke and mirrors then anything else and they have no desire to see these sports crumble...they are big money making factors in the American life and anything that harms that is going to be against what anyone in D.C. wants.

I played college ball at a smaller Div. 1 school. in my four years we only won 50% of our games one season! And 95% of us were on gear. You only get tested twice a year. Once my the NCAA and once my the school. And the test were anything but random..... Sane time ever year. SO it was very easy to get away with using gear with realitivly low half-lifes.... sad thing was i have seen guys on practice squad that never even played one snap that were juiced out of there minds...

We don't see threads like this at least a dozen times a week ::)

"skip," you average, what, 0.2 posts per day.  I suggest you round down and make that an even ZERO from now on.
