I don't get the connection. Aren't NFL players are tested multiple times a year for steroid use? I'm pretty sure they are.

Here’s a good article covering the process.

Also, several players a year get suspended for PED’s, I.e. Burfict.

Gee, I wonder why the bother to test them.  All they have to do is suspend the guys that get injured, right?

I still don't get how "a player getting injured" = "the player must have taken steroids".

It’s not a single injury, it’s repetitive injuries, read the whole back and forth with Fred. My point is a young guy with multiple catastrophic injuries isn’t normal and I made no absolute statements, just said it’s curious.

It use to be that if you had a catastrophic injury your career was over right then and there. That's not the case anymore.

I think maybe playing a physically demanding sport such as football and extensive weight training might be the cause of such injuries... It does happen alot to football players.
