The odds are likely better than even that any pro athlete is using PEDS. And of course the guys who bring in the money are going to be protected.

Lance Armstrong was allowed to use a phony and back-dated prescription after he tested positive during the first Tour he won because he'd immediately become an international sensation after winning the first stage and the Tour was desperate for a star.

I was a non-revenue athlete in college and over and over we conveniently got picked in NCAA mandated random testing instead of the football players. Our strength coach even got busted for running a steroid distribution ring but that was swept under the rug as him going rogue outside his job.

I don't really care if anybody dopes, it's just interesting how it's always the elephant in the room.

EPO can be very dangerous because it can turn your blood to sludge. Cyclists died from using too much EPO in the very late 1980s and during the 1990s but nowadays it seems like athletes know how to use it. Who knows though, athlete cardiac problems that folks like to attribute to the vax could be EPO related in some cases.

I'd never seen this before but googled an article about our Cane strength coach getting busted in 1987 for running a major steroid distribution ring and this is hilarious:

It calls him the assistant strength coach, maybe he was but he was the guy working with athletes day to day, says he was responsible for supplying 70 percent of US black market steroids and then says:

Jacobs, who worked mainly with the basketball team

They passed it off on the basketball team that nobody cared about back then because it had just been restarted.

It seemed to me like Jimmy Johnson had a pretty regimented steroid program. You'd see massive transformations in guys from when they came in as freshmen to the next year. I always wondered what was going on with those Cowboy teams under him that would physically dominate the league.
