I have no proof to back that up...but look at the massive issue that MIke Ditka is brigning to the forefront with the disabilities of ex NFL players. I honestly think a big part of that is drug abuse (steroids or whatever else) by them masking pain and making them play with it. Lack of care of concussions etc. Rampant steroid use began in the NFL...WAY, WAY before MLB. So of course their time table was different. OF course they'd have a testing mechanism before baseball. Lyle Alzado was great entertainment back in the day just as Sammy Sosa/Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire were.

I make light of it...but MLB does have a policy in place now. I simply don't see the point in going 10-20 years past and digging up only selected names who used. The NFL never did that to my knowledge.

We are all enablers who ever watch a game I guess. So yeah I enable. Sue me. But don't ever tell me that MLB is any more dysfunctional than the NFL. If you honestly think these average 315-325 lb lineman and 255 lb linebackers with 4.5 speed and 230 lb safeties come by everything 100 percent naturally with only good hard work be my guest.

MLB is more dysfunctional than the NFL.
