Every Tour de France rider, all the athletes in the Olympics, lots of NFL players, most big-hitting baseball guys, most wrestlers (do they count?). I'd be more amazed to find out one of them wasn't on the juice. Is that just my natural cynical Englishness or do you all feel the same that side of the pond.

Nati Ice Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 i tend to agree with you in terms of olympic sports, cycling, wrestling (obviously), and baseball, but i wouldnt be surprised to learn that very few nfl players use banned substances. theres just too many legal options available to take that risk when goodell is in charge and ruling with an iron fist.
