Really, you brought it on yourself by having a handle with an L in it.

Players that are accustomed to playing and not having expectations that are high have different attitudes. Then you also have the case of TO, where he gets upset being on a losing team or upset when things don’t go his way. he didn’t have the outbursts when he was a nobody, but he has always been a gym rat. So every buff guy with an attitude playing in a physical sport is using? Probably everyone but QB’s huh? Balco investigations yadda yadda yadda. He still can play at a high level so he must still be on steroids? he did play with the MOST conditioned athlete in NFL history not to mention that player played an extremely long career(Rice). SO if TO was smart enough to blend a heavy lift program with what he learned from Jerry, that wouldn’t make the steriods an assumption? I know players use, but an attitude and being ripped isn’t enough to claim a guy is on juice. He’s 35 and still huge, so I guess he knew his tests were coming each and every time and was able to hide it or carry someone elses urine. I seen a Cowboy player blow up on the sideline, hey everyone drop him and get the truth out of him. Just because there have been positive testing amongst teams and players, does not make your assumption any more realistic, the possibility is there for the whole league.
 As far as guys weighing 275 lbs, running a 4.6 40, there is a thing called genetics and unfortunately Afican American athletes are bigger stronger and faster by nature. i went to school with guys that weighed 230 and ran 40’s in the 4.4 as sophmores in highschool and steroids weren’t the case. Both his parents are on the wall of fame at the school with track and football records.

It is appauling that a players size and ability would lead you to that assumption, and it pretty much is aimed at african american athletes since they are the only ones at that size and running at that speed. maybe the super slave breeding has evolved into stronger and faster athletes?

Now that is another assumption that slave breeding has lead genetics to be altered in some athletes. It’s an assumption, however, why do the best athletes come from the South? Who’s to say, but we all know that the BEST physical athletes are flooded in Southern states. There are still athletes in the north but the fastest with size are majority down south.

Then you also have the case of over population which leads to

Majority of the cases I have heard were in heavy populated areas, so when you go to big cities where population is high and the food supply is low animals are shot with steroids to have quick growth and so they seller can keep up with the consumer. In that instance the steroids used to make these animals bigger (usually cows w/ hormone boost) can result in humans hormones production at an accelerated rate. That’s why when you visit these large cities where food and money are scarce you will be accustomed to seeing 11 year old boys with a full grrown beard and 11 year old girls that have physical shapes of grown woman. There are a lot of factors that could lead to athletes having large sizes with tremendous speed when compared to the norm, but there are other ways that this can be a result besides steroids. To assume that players like LeBron or a DeMarcus Ware are on steroids due to size and athletic ability is either a case of jealousy or narrow mindedness. I just thing everything needs to be considered before you go hollering juice.
