| Re: So how long till the NFL has a PED scandal? I honestly don't think that the NFL will have the type of scandal that MLB has had. If you look at the last 10 years in the NFL then you will notice almost once a year to twice a year someone gets suspended for using a controlled substance. In large part it is because they have had more stringent testing long before baseball ever did. Baseball has been rocked because of the fact that before 10 years ago nothing was ever tested. The biggest names you had heard getting suspended before that for any kinds of drugs were Steve Howe, Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry and those were for cocaine. I think one of the reasons that baseball has been hit so hard is because it was Americas pastime and not considered a dopers paradise. They are a lot more strict than the NFL on what substances you can use. Football has always had steroid users, much like baseball had in some degree, just more people got away with it, and as is the case with baseball people are still going to use, but they may get lucky for awhile and not get caught. It's all a matter of time. If you remember there were four NFL players last year that got busted, although they have since appealed the decision and I honestly haven't heard anything about it since. I also think with the beating that NFL players take most people are pretty much not concerned about the steroid issue. They have many more obstacles to overcome before that gets brought to the mainstream attention. But by and large they have always had a more strict testing regiment. |
