I’ve for ever been a guy that thinks steroids and other performance enhancing drugs used in football haven’t fully come to the surface yet. I don’t have any hard evidence but I think the drug testing in the NFL is a unimportant bit lax. I’m not saying it’session like what baseball was in the late 90’sitting but I think there are more football players than we realize using performance enhancing drugs. I’ve heard unlike rumors and stories about in what way players form out ways around being caught, so it makes me suspicious of a lot of guys in the NFL.
With that actuality said… Former Arizona Cardinal Calvin Pace who was freshly hit with a four game suspension for violating the leagues drug policy aforesaid he didn’t be aware of the substance he used was illegal. As fans we’re only left speculating whether the imitator is powerful the truth or not. I think we as fans are often conscious ignorant when we believe a player didn’t know the appendix he was taking was illegal. The teams trainers extensively go over what substances are banned and the sort of are good to take. So it would take a certain brain lapse or great amount of irresponsibility to not know what you were excitement.
But in some cases I awe if these players are telling the truth? I recently put up a blog post and video on former Arizona Cardinal Obafemi Ayanbadejo who was released by the team in 2006 when the Cardinals became sensible of a possible suspension due to a failed deaden with narcotics test. As explained in this interview with Obafemi’s attorney, Ayanbadejo didn’t know there was any illegal substances in the supplement he was captivating because the company did not properly label its product. Because of this the company was sued by Ayanbadejo and his attorney. The former Cardinal fullback took the victory on the case because the company realized it did indeed mislabel its product.
Maybe some of these players are telling the truth. Maybe Manny Ramirez really didn’t know it was wrong to take womens fertileness drugs (I doubt it). I’d explain why I don’t buy his acquit but I don’t have time because I have to get back to moil, but I digress. I’m not saying what happened to Ayanbadejo is what happened by Calvin Pace but you never know. But I do know that most of these players have a good model of that which they’re putting in their bodies. So they have to be held accountable for when they break the rules.
