I think it's pretty clear that everyone did 'roids in the '70's.
Watch out, twenty years from now Gatorade will be the naughty substance. Any player who drank Gatorade from 2000-2020 will be considered a fraud!
On a side note, I was discussing a few things with a guy last night (he's a Pats fan). We decided that whoever is the Public Relations Director for the NFL must be pulling in 7 figures. They do a hell of a job making things go away, while incidents stain baseball and basketball players for the rest of their lives. Hell, just look at Shawne Merriman. Dude is using 'roids today and no one gives a damn!
yeah dont understand why that would be a surprise to anybody and so what if Bradshaw took them,I guarantee many people in the NFL have been doing it since then and are still doing it.Like the article said,Bradshaw wasnt the only one,many others were as well and they didnt know what they were doing.Bradshaw just got singled out cause he confessed so I dont see anything news worthy about this.

Yeah the Steelers cheated, now to me this depends on if they were the only team out there doing it. If there were no others or if there were a few its a huge advantage but in todays game it seems every team has has roids all over the place.
if you think roids made anyone a better QB your crazy. They might of helped recovery from injuries and in the weight room but thats about as far as they go, and I guarantee everyone was doing it.
Needs context. Bradshaw used them to heal from injuries. Not regularly to bulk up. Hell, the Steelers linemen were built around speed and mobility, not brute size. Steroids would have hurt a lot of their versatility in run-blocking.
That article is basically trying to stir up a controversy where there is none. Shoddy reporting. At the end he mentions that teh Steelers from those team are dying off, too. It's off-topic, and just plain insulting to them. He's either got a bone to pick, or is just an ass.

Well, the key words here are "heal" and "injuries". If the Steelers used them....why couldn't the other teams used them as well? Or better yet....why didn't they?
I was talking to a few guys this morning and they were talking about athletes using Viagra before taking the field. They said no joke, that it increases your intensity level and that one day Viagra might be a banned substance in the NFL and other pro leagues.
They say call your doctor if you experience an erection lasting for more than four hours, so unless your game went into overtime, you might be able to keep it up for the entire game.
