PEDS in the NFL

Recommended Posts

Fix it? No.

Regulate it? Yes.

PEDS are beneficial in many sports related Injuries.

You know why the Romans didnt use Peds in their olympic training?

Simple. They didnt have them.

Romans were given garlic before Olympic events. It raises testosterone and lowers cortisol.

So yea they kinda did try to up their game with performance enhancers.

Should teams be forced to forfeit games/playoffs if one/multiple players violates the rules?

How else do you think we can fix it?

No.

 

Court of public opinion is different in the NFL.  It's the truest gladiator sport we still have in the world.  People honestly don't care if players do PEDS in the NFL. I'd use PEDs too if I was in the NFL.  The physical limits in the sport are pushed beyond what 99.999 percent of what the normal human body can take. Think about it.   Even in our SB year half of our offensive line was doing them.  Nobody brings that up anymore..  Brian Cushing.....old news....forgotten.   At most it's worthy of a day headline in the news.   

 

It's weird it's the complete opposite in baseball, and nobody brings it up in basketball.  Have you ever heard of any PED use in basketball?  It's happening though.

Browner is a huge loss for them, no wonder they signed Winfield.  And to be honest, wins should not be vacated.  Yes, PEDs are obviously going to enhance performance and it's an unfair advantage, but if you go back and start trying to rewrite history based upon the few who have been caught, you risk rewarding those who haven't been caught.  

 

However, when one team has repeat offenses over this long of a period, something needs to be looked into...

I'd like to say yes but if it were my team I'd say no. This is kind of like college football programs and recruiting. You can police it all you want but more people are doing it than you want to believe and the cheaters will always be one step ahead. When you are talking millions of dollars there will ALWAYS be people willing to take the risk. So I'm not sure what the answer is.
