Got to wonder what the AP voters were thinking...it's fine to roid up, as long as your good. Shameful if you ask me, sends an awful message.\

Really AP? Really? Cushing is the rookie of the year.

"It means a lot. Just the fact that people would stick by me and stay honest with me. Very, very excited and just honored. I really am," he told KRIV-TV.

Thats funny considering that you weren't honest yourself. In fact the only reason your a pro is because you kept juicing up. It's alright though pretty soon you'll be injured and in 5 years you'll be bankrupt.

Cushing's test was positive for elevated levels of hCG, the source familiar with the case told Schefter.

HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a banned substance that is widely used to stimulate the body's testosterone production after an athlete uses anabolic steroids.

Totally different from the Williams case. Williams used a weight loss supplement thats banned more to protect the players then it is to insure fair competition (think Kory Stringer). Steroids give cheaters an unfair advantage.

And please Mr. McClian

"In good conscience, I couldn't not vote for him after voting for Julius Peppers in 2002 knowing he'd tested positive [and won the same award], and for Kevin Williams on the All-Pro team knowing he'd tested positive [in the StarCaps case]."

Really, so in order to justify the first mistake you repeat that same mistake? Maybe you should be tested or better yet taken off the committee along with the 17 other idiots.
