From Some Guy on YouTube:

Ccarcamo713 have you everseen anyone on steroids...you can tell whose on steroids..Brian Orakpo is not!..people on steroids have their muscles all deformed.

Sorry, it's just that this comment put my mind at ease. I was also one of the guys that stood up for Palmiero after his finger point of death.


Back to Cushing though.

An NFL general manager, requesting anonymity, said: "We’ve been warned it is an issue and might have been one since high school. We are considering that. As unpleasant as it is, this is an issue with this player that only a negative test here is going to clear up right now. It’s unfortunate, because no one wants to kill the kid, but the issue is a reality."

And a 30-year NFL scout added: "If I were to look at the entire 300-plus group of players here and ask myself based on my knowledge of steroids which one of these players is the prime prospect to have used it, he would be it. He has the physique and other attributes that indicate it. But he is fortunate. Unlike other sports, we test strongly for it. And if he passes that test, so be it. He gets a clean slate with us."

I remember hearing about how proud everyone was of how he put on size after being undersized in high school. I guess now we know where it came from. It's just as well though, he's rich right now but he'll eventually be bankrupt after he retires.

I wonder though if teams were allowed to know who passed and failed a drug test in light of an appeal. I can imagine that going into the year with a 4 game suspension wouldn't have helped Cushing's 1st round status.
