Brady Quinn alleges PED's responsible for NFL's rapid increase in injuries

[Originalman]

Wasn't this guy abnormally ripped

Exactly he a damn PED user himself.

 

[Absolut]

Exactly he a damn PED user himself.

sure, hes an nfl player. id be more surprised if he, or any other pro athlete, never took anything

 

[Higher Tech]

I guess football needed a Jose Canseco.

 

[Hi!]

For people that aren't retarded it's very clear he knows full well what's going on. He worded it the way he did to give other players anonymit and to give himself anonymity. He knows full well pros are on everything imaginable, and he definitely took shyt himself if he was serious about his career.

well said

takes one to know one...


and i fully believe he knows... and knows a lot more than he's saying


i remember reading the canseco article when it first dropped... whole league talking bout he lying and he jealous and it's bullshyt...

then day by day, we saw that every word he said was right... but nobody wanted to believe



well here we are again... you think it's just one league doing this? hell no... when you throwing around hundreds of millions... and soon to be billions in contracts... somebody is gonna cheat to get that cash

so he drops nothing but speculation. nothing that holds weight, didn't even drop a "yea I saw guys taking stuff" "I heard guys asking about it in the locker room"
He just says "I think that may be the reason guys are hurt"
like nikkas ain't been getting hurt playing football since forever.

no snitching



just dry snitching

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

wait, there's people that actually think NFL players DON'T take peds?

it's like they don't even know.... THE NFL DOESN'T TEST FOR HGH... at all


but we gonna believe they not doing it for 100 million dollars over 5 years

Not like now though. Star players ripping ligaments to shreds and dropping like flies for the past few years. Don't remember that happening so frequently back in the giant shoulder pad days

Brady Quinn Says PED Use Might Be Responsible for Rampant NFL Injuries
Week 8 of the 2015 NFL season was, in a word, carnage.

Over the course of Sunday's games, body after hobbled body was carted off fields around the league.

The docket of casualties included Le'Veon Bell, Steve Smith Sr., Reggie Bush, Ricardo Lockette, Khiry Robinson and Cameron Wake—all claimed by season-ending injuries.

It's a list that's too long and too talented, even by the NFL's macabre standards, to be dismissed casually. People are aghast and looking for answers, and one of the more intriguing theories about the recent rash of injuries has been put forth by former NFL quarterback Brady Quinn.

While appearing on CBS Sports'Roughing the Passer podcast (via the site's John Breech) on Tuesday, Quinn raised the possibility that the greater prevalence of performance-enhancing drugs—specifically human growth hormone—might be the reason it seems like more NFL players are going down with serious injuries these days.

I’m not going to be a whistleblower and I’m not accusing anyone of anything. There’s got to be something these guys are taking. That’s what I think at least. ...

... I'm not accusing anyone. But I think the usage of HGH or performance-enhancing drugs or supplements is greater now than it's ever been because the money is bigger now than it's ever been and the punishment isn't really that bad if you think about it. ...

... You could say it’s what they’re taking, supplements and things that they’re putting in their body that are dehydrating their body and making them a little more tight and brittle, those sorts of things.

Quinn added that increased PED use among players is usually the byproduct of cost-benefit analysis. From a numbers standpoint, Quinn believes that the risks don't outweigh the potential rewards:

If you're a top-of-the-line guy and you're getting $16 million a year—you're getting a million bucks a game—if you get popped for taking something that helps you get that big time contract or hit that incentive in your contract where you get paid all of the sudden in your contract year, guess what? First [failed test], four-game [suspension]. Let's talk about financially, "Am I going to sacrifice $4 million in order for me to get that big contract on the back-end? Yea, I am."

Football players have been getting hurt since the beginning of time

It's like... you totally didn't even read or understand what I just said

I'd bet a million dollars there been more popped acl's in football and basketball the past 10 years than the previous 40

Fantasy and 24 hr news cycle. It happened but it wasn't news and wasn't paid as much attention to back then. But with fantasy and the news cycle and almost everything having to be news every injury is discussed and magnified and analyzed.
I'm not saying these cats aren't on anything. I believe a lot of them are but for him to just speculate and basically give the same story one of us can give the world is pointless. All I'm saying is if you're going to say something like this give us a locker room story or expierence. Otherwise shut the fukk up.

forgot about that...





Out of about 790 HGH tests in the first year of testing this past season, there were no positives, Birch told USA TODAY Sports before Sunday's Super Bowl.

Which means one of two things: Either none of them were using HGH or the tests aren't sensitive enough to catch them.

The answer is obvious, said longtime anti-doping scientist Don Catlin.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...-super-bowl-media-silence-continues/22727669/
The isoform test that the NFL used this season to test for HGH "doesn't catch many people at all," Catlin told USA TODAY Sports. "It's not a test that's designed to really do that. It will catch you if you just used it a few hours ago, but if it's a day or more, it's not going to find you."

The creatine had nothing to do with it my man Re-evaluate your form and how much weight you were using. Or were you on dat dere "creatine"

It was a warm up set.

Might have been a slight tear already.

Point is, like steroids, creatine gets your muscles strong real fast, but your ligaments don't get strong. That's why you see all these ligament injuries when your muscles are more explosive/stronger abnormally due to PEDs/supplements but your ligaments can't keep up.
