Wikipedia says 10 players have been suspended, but the chart mixes PEDs and recreational drugs. I think Kevin and Pat Williams are the most famous.

Suspended under the NFL PED policy since 2006:

Brian Cushing (hCG)
John Welbourn (steroids)
Dwayne Bowe (diuretic)
Kevin Williams (diuretic)
Pat Williams (diuretic)
Charles Grant (diuretic)
Will Smith (diuretic)
Grady Jackson (diuretic)
Bryan Pittman (diuretic)
Deuce McAllister (diuretic)
DJ Williams ("non human urine")
Virgil Green (Adderall)
Ryan McBean (unknown PED)
Andre Brown (Adderall - suspension lifted)
Garret Brown (unknown PED)
Mike Neal (Adderall)
Antwan Odom (unknown PED)
Joe Haden (Adderall)
Andre Neblett (unknown PED)
Tyler Sash (Adderall)
Brett Hartman (unknown PED)
Phillip Buchanon (unknown PED)
Gerald McGrath (unknown PED)
Luke Lawton (unknown PED)
David Vobora (unknown PED)
Hollis Thomas (steroids - two time offender)

This is not comprehensive, just what I could find on the Google.

Those are almost all defensive guys. No QBs and only Bowe and a retired McAllister who put up any numbers at all. I think people would care more if skill position players were being suspended regularly.

DJ Williams ("non human urine")

I would love to check out that fake web site!

Or to see the sequel to Pink Flamingos.

cmon, its like the argument about which is really "America's game"? It used to be baseball, but now with all the time outs, betting, choreographed end zone celebrations, military themed play descriptions and tie ins, and faux outrage over the behavior of some of its players on/off the field, it has to be football. Or eggball has some have called it.

I remember some outrage over David Boston a long time ago. He was one of the first high profile players suspended, and his change was VERY noticeable. He went from being a skinny wideout at Ohio State to being built like a linebacker.

PED use is rampant in the NFL to a degree that vastly outstrips baseball. Anyone who seriously tries to argue otherwise is a fool or making money doing so.

While I am not making an argument, I am curious to know why this is a given. Have their been that many more players suspended? Are there widely known loopholes in the testing program of the NFL?

My favorite picture of Mr. All-Natural, LaRon Landry.

Do people have eyes (see, for instance, the post immediately preceding this one)?

So the proof is the tried-and-true "just look at them" test?

If people are, I dunno, 6'8, weigh 275 pounds & run faster than Billy Hamilton ... they might be ducks. Or something.

I don't know, seeing football players in the ESPN Body magazines actually impresses me more than seeing the player in pads. In pads you don't realize just how much of their bulk is muscle. Naked football players are freaking huge.

that is an awful picture. if you want to link to an example of a freaking huge football player, at least link to one that hasn't been photoshopped to hell.

OK, but that doesn't really rise to the level of proof of, well, anything.

Speaking of outrage, I am enjoying some of the complaints from people of this fair land over the "witch-hunt" against the fair haired boy, Lance Armstrong. You would think that the past few weeks would have taught us something about suspending belief in an athlete that did amazing things in a sport that is tainted with doping allegations.

Ironically, your link doesn't work.

[64] As I said in the other thread about Lance Armstrong, I find Bonds and Armstrong to be very similar -- at a time when the "best" players in the other sports were also dirty, Bonds and Armstrong were dirty and still the best of them all.
