The lengths people will go, Minnesota Viking players using weight-loss supplements and steroids to improve their game. Bumetanide was recently added to the NFL's list of banned substances as a known masker of steroid use. Pat Williams and Kevin Williams were named in a Fox Sports story as players who could face four-game suspensions. The use of steroids has always been a concern in the NFL. Players being found year after year to be using steroids or anything to win glory and honor from their team and coaches. As I read this article I thought of the men in the Iliad and the way they would risk anything in order to win honor and glory. The things people will do ?!

It sounds atrocious that someone would cheat in such an important level of football such as the NFL, but you have to think about the kind of pressure these people are under. Although nothing makes using illegal substances rite, these players are still trying their hardest. If they get out on the field and aern't good enough, it is known nation wide. For many players too, NFL football is their carreer and their life, so if they do pourly at it, not only themselves but their families aswell are forever effected by it.
