I'll say this: Testing is expensive and a pain in the ass to make sure the chain of possession is preserved etc. They're not testing across the board, they're targeting certain individuals. I know 55 has proven himself to be a bit of a knucklehead, but anyone who thinks he wasn't targeted is living on another planet. Guys I race against get busted all the time and they're amateurs. There's no reason to think an NFL athlete who has one shot to make it isn't doing what they can to improve their chances. The reality is, they're targeting the few. Out of comp. testing is pretty rare unless you're being targeted.
And, I find it interesting that national pundits like Florio have no less than 3 full page essays ready to roll as soon as something like this hits.
Hey Bengal fans! Enough of the doping drug test crap. Who cares at this point. If somebody wants to take a substance that makes them bigger and stronger and heal faster(even if it has adverse effects) who cares. I'm not so sure what all the fuss is about. Yes I would prefer the purity of "clean" guys that work hard and strive for excellence.... but this phony moralizing from some of the biggest slime-balls on the planet is just stupid. Am I the only one who feels this way?
