Ugh.. It hurts to admit, but steroids have long been a part of the NFL. Most people consider the Steelers teams of the 70's to be group of players that began the widespread use. I just read an article by Mark Kriegel over at foxsports.com (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/92171...asterisks?) that pissed me off, being a Steelers fan.. but he does have a point. In a sport as violent and strength-based as football, steroids have long been prevalent. Hell, Shawne Merriman almost won DPOY two years ago even though he was suspended for four games that season for testing positive for steroids. It's a shame, and it tarnishes the legacy of the game.. but if you think that PEDs don't play a big role in the NFL, you're deluding yourself.
Where would we be without the agitators of the world attaching the electrodes of knowledge to the nipples of ignorance?
