Default Do you believe the vast majority of Pro Athletes...

...are on some type of banned substance? I was just listening to Colin Cowherd talk about it, and he feels like I always have, that most pro athletes juice.

I don't think so personally and while I can't prove it, none of my buddies who played professionally did, we all go way back enough that if they were I think I would have known.

As long as there is competition in the world, there will ALWAYS be people that will do whatever it takes to gain a competitive advantage. Especially when there is money involved.

I've always wanted to start a sports league that clearly states there will be drug testing..

Mma would be crazy if they adopted those rules..

Right on, but what percentage of those people do you think actually juice?

I'd say most have at some point.

It's the same with any other drug. Marijuana is illegal so things like K2 that are almost exactly the same come out and are made illegal in a few years. Same will keep happening.
