lol. Antonio Gates just last week got 4 games in NFL. Will still get into the Hall of Fame easy. Good thing too since the San Diego Chargers weren't living up to their name.djpbaltimore said:Bumping this to show how much less most fans of sport care about PEDs than the media. Case in point, Jhonny Peralta and Nelson Cruz were elected to the MLB all star game by a fan vote despite serving bans due to the biogenesis scandal a few years ago. Both are having excellent years in their 30s. Good thing they only had to serve 50 game bans and not 2 years.
To be fair to NFL fans , a lot of them have the - "they are all doing it" attitude. Quite a lot of the commentary I saw from fans pointed out that he basically faced an iq test and that ped use is rife within the sport, how else do linemen reach 300 pounts while maintaing 4.5 dash speed and having a vertical jump of 6 foot.djpbaltimore said:And what do most NFL fans really care about? How his suspension affects their fantasy football draft.
True, I think that is an accurate assessment. I can't imagine anybody holding up their favorite NFL team as a paragon of cleanliness or be insulted if their team was accused of using PEDs. It is definitely a different mindset compared to pro-cycling.The Hitch said:To be fair to NFL fans , a lot of them have the - "they are all doing it" attitude.

Which in my book puts them well ahead of most sports fans, especially in Europe in the intelligence stakes.
Maybe if cycling started issuing a few week bans for drug offenses its fans would also wisen up a bit.
I'm pretty sure every punter who played the game would tend to disagree.The Hitch said:Tbf, With nfl, your quality of life after is **** afterwards anyway, peds or no peds.
was it a big div1 team like Michigan or Texas? or just a smallish div1 team?the delgados said:@Hitch
My former boss used to play Division 1 college football. When I asked if he ever used PED's, he didn't hesitate by saying yes. I was taken aback by the ease with which he answered. I thought I'd have to pry a little more before he reluctantly admitted that "some people do it."
The entire conversation lasted no more than five minutes, during which I learned about a team-wide doping program administered by doctors.
Point being is everyone knows. But I'm surprised that it's never talked about in the media.

University of Northumbria shows steroid using body builders more likely to suffer memory problems later in life.
Sadly published in a fairly low quality journal, due to the sample size (100)
Could be tied with some of the issues with NFL players
