Why would you do this... If he started using them later on, he was an idiot. He might've upgraded his draft stock a little at one point, but seriously, he thought they wouldn't find out?

If he started using them at the beginning of his college career, he might aswell have come clean or so, because going to the combine and getting a blood test while having steroids in your blood is forcing you to come clean eventually.

Ofcourse, this could be part of some kind of medical treatment. In that case, ignore my message.

It would be only right if their stock dropped a huge amount.

Doubt it will though... which is a damn shame.

Well it isn't just that their name is now linked to roids.. it is they will enter the league in the drug program.. meaning they are a step closer than others coming in from sitting in the principles office and on the sideline.

Just like Raji's case, I would take a gamble on them later in the draft, I just won't tie the amount of cash to them in the first that these kids get.

All the potential in the world doesn't matter if the league office says you can't play...

It has long been speculated that Cushing was a pharmacological wonder...Matthews is a bit of a suprise.

Idiots!

I still think they're going in round one.

I had heard reports that Cushing could have been on something. This isn't a surprise at all. I think most teams felt this too. Never heard anything on Matthews. None the less, I wouldn't take them off my board. Everyone wants to throw guys off the board because they aren't the perfect golden boy after all.

Luis Castillo did the same thing and ended up going late round one. He's a very good player.

Do you guys really believe that the NFL is this "squeaky clean" league and that the Packers are a "squeaky clean" team?

I heard a report on Real Sports and I think they said maybe a third of the players are on something. It's just what it is.
