Athletes and Illicit Drugs, Top Athletes still using?

The ESPN series from last year depicting NFL athletes as out of control freaks, chasing highs, sex and power at any cost...How close to reality is this?

Are professional athletes more likely to smoke crack, use heroin and other hard drugs, in this day and age, compared to regular people?:bong:



:nono5:

More likely probable...... even the ones who don't want to do steroids, at least therapeutically use them when injured / rehabbing to heal faster come / back quicker: once they start getting nagging injuries it can be so easy to use them habitually-- there's always someone healthy & ready to take their place... The ones who need to lose weight quickly & NOT get weaker, use the metabolism drugs. Those who by gametime have not recovered from last game's pounding or last night's drinking-- will use, if not amphetamines, at least mega-caffeine pills & certain herbal drug cocktails that get them angry & pumped up...

The athletes who are spoiled and/or psychotic will do what they want anyways-- i doubt they would hold back. And of the rest of those who would resist temptation in theory, there is a subset who will want to do something, figuring their career could / will be short-- especially once they get hurt.
