no way
Add Eli Harold to the list
All big name players too, throw in Gates from last year & it doesn't paint a pretty picture.

I'll reserve judgment on the accused until a later date, but there have been a lot of players getting busted recently.

NFL is starting to become as bad as baseball, cycling & track.

I think the NFL has always been flooded with PEDs as bad as baseball, etc.. As the NFL has shown before, it is shady AF. They hardly test players and while they are random, there is a small window in which they administer the tests. Players can easily guess the time frame in which they will be tested and flush everything out of their systems. Or they can use alternatives such as fake piss inside a fake p*nis

The only reason these players are getting busted now is because this company has reports of them buying PEDs.

NFL could really crack down more on PEDs but they know bigger, stronger, and faster players makes games more interesting. My guess is that there are a lot more players juicing then we think. Most of them on the seahawks

Gates was caught and when he came back was greeted with cheers and was being praised by the announce team for getting close to beating a te record.

Right, because nature intended for guys to be like 6'2", 260, ripped and running a 4.5 40.
With the exception of Clay... Manning, Gates, Mathis, Harrison & Peppers are all up there in age, so it wouldn't be a surprise they may need a little assistance to help recover quicker. They were probably clean for most of their careers.

Although Pep got busted early in his career, I think.
It's professional sports. What do expect? Clean sport? Not when their is money to be made. Your family's livelihood literally depends on your performance. And if you get caught after 10 years, so what. You've already got $50 mil in the bank (unless you're an idiot like Warren Saap), and your family is set for life.

This is non issue IMO. professional sports have always been, and always will be flooded with PED. Hell, recently, some cyclist tested positive for a drug that isn't even available to the public yet. If you don't dope you won't cope. If I was a pro you bet your ass I would take all kinds of drugs to help me win. It doesn't make athletes bad people, it's just part of the game.

Just be aware of that, and move on.

For the last 20 years I've simply assumed over 50% of NFL players are using PEDs.
All players use them.
That's all there is to it.

It's not news

Dumb. You need to be more vigilant, and take precautions to not get pinged. Learn from Armstrong; Doped to the gills (still in world class shape mind you), but never tested positive. His teammates did him in.
