take a sport like cycling that got put on blast because of Lance Armstrong... ...its basically a fact that all cyclist are on it. You think a sport w/ only a fraction of the revenue (cycling) of the majors is the only one that has rampant use of steroids?
Two of my boys that played d1 football started full blown steroids in early high school and continued on that shyt throughout college. They said every player worth anything was doing the same. Their pops started them on it
I don't think every athlete is. I don't even think more than 50% are for 2 reasons: * Like someone said, we'd be hearing all the time from disgruntled players who refused to juice telling on everybody else * Too many dudes like Leveon Bell who can't stop going raw in thots and impregnating them, I'm supposed to believe every player has the discipline to not get caught? You'r etalking THOUSANDS of players, trainers, agents with connects, etc. And only a handful ever get caught. Damn if Peyton Manning got caught I'd expect to see dozens to hundreds of cases every year.
There are a lot of masking agents. Remember Lance Armstrong or all those baseball players never failed a test. Ways to evade testing are always ahead of the testing. And with that said a few idiots still keep getting caught each year. To me you would have to be extremely naive to think the number isn't close to 100%. I think you are confusing steroids that build muscle with PEDs in general. Everyone isn't taking testosterone for example. But I promise you a lot of athletes take Human Growth Hormone to recover. In sports like basketball HGH is more important to performance than having more muscle.
As much as I love Kobe, I'm pretty sure he did as well. Considering how competitive he is I'm sure he used at least HGH for recovery. And don't forget he traveled to Germany for that blood treatment to his fix his degenarative knees. Its what allowed him to have that revival season in 2013. Every athlete uses PEDs. Its part of the game now.
There is a window where the players know when they will be tested and after that point they won't be tested again for the season. Unless you have previous failed tests like Josh Gordon or if you have been arrested in the past 18-24 months for intoxication alcohol and drugs and then you'll get tested thru out the season.
