whats your opinion ?

Bluto, my opinion is that more people should realize that professional athletes, and high level amateur athletes are on.
I played a sport in college at a very high level, and when my eyes were opened, I was amazed.
I never used, as I knew that I didn't have a chance at making it the pro level.
But I realized that those who were at the pro level, and had stayed there for a long time, had dabbled at a minimum.

my opinion is that most athletes in most sports are NOT on.

So you are saying you believe there isn't a large percentage of players in the NFL who use performance enhancing drugs?

At a minimum, A LOT of professional athletes use GH for injury recovery.  I think you would be suprised how many players use. 

Also, I grew up in a town with one of the top 10 college football teams in the country and was friends with many of the players.  Many used. Some used constantly (for example one of the fullbacks) and some used sporadically (for example one wide receiver who wanted to recover from an ankle injury; he is now a top receiver in the pros).

Do you remember a few years ago when the Eagles played the Patriots in the Super Bowl and the Terrell Owens came back from a broken ankle in record time to play in the game?  How do you think things like that happen?   Superior healing ability?  Maybe, but I doubt it.

My opinion is you live in a very sheltered world! Very naive.
