    Steriods, We Have Only Touched the Surface

    Monday, March 5, 2007, 12:43 PM EST [NFL]

    Steriods in baseball is a big story.  Steroids in the NFL isn't.  Steriods in Hockey and basketball are non existent?  Seems weird to see to of the big four pro sports in America have been infiltrated completely and the other two have not.  If it were as big a deal in the NFL as it is in MLB there would be a backlash against pro bowl players Shawne Merriman and Shaun Rogers who both failed and had suspenions this season for performance enhancing drugs.  Maybe the purist of baseball are just more outspoken than the NFL's.  I think it is just more excepted in football because of the controlled rage and strength of a pro football player.

    The other steroid stories are that kids are using them in high school to possibly attain college scholarships.  It is also said to be very detremental to ones overall health.  Human Groth Hormone is used for AIDS and HIV patients ohhhhh wait and right fielders.

    The surface that hasnt been even scratched yet is how many people actually use steriods or HGH.  I have worked with guys who were roided out just to have bigger muscles.......and that is all.  I think he just liked his big chest because he was pretty creepy about how much he looked at it.  Another guy I knew did it to be a stronger bouncer at a bar.  One guy I knew did steroids to be on the National Rodeo cicuit.

    The media just doesn't know where to look to get the real story on something like this.  People in the media only know athletes using these.  People around athletes and working regular jobs know the common steroid user.

    Sometimes it can be easy to spot a steroid user.  You are usually right when you can tell by the type of aggresion a person shows in athletics.  If a guy celebrates by actually ripping someones head off and shitting down the neck, they are probably on steroids. 

    Some people you may think are on steroids are not.  For example, WWE has very strick testing now that it didn't have before the death of former Superstar Eddie Guerrero.  Now what you will see more of are less guys like "Big Pappa Pump" and more guys like Jimmy Wang Yang.  High flyers are the future of WWE.  WWE has had a lot of former employees die way to young because of steroid use.  The life on the road coupled with steroid and drug abuse really takes it toll on anyone.
