I wonder if Congress is going to get involved in this scandle?
Report: Players had script filled before Super Bowl
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers Todd Sauerbrun and Jeff Mitchell and former player Todd Steussie had steroid prescriptions filled by a West Columbia, S.C., doctor now under investigation by federal authorities, according to a "60 Minutes Wednesday" report.
In a release Tuesday, the CBS News show said the players all had prescriptions for testosterone cream filled within two weeks of the Panthers' appearance in the 2004 Super Bowl.
In addition to the cream, which is banned by the NFL, Sauerbrun -- one of the league's top punters -- also obtained syringes and the injectable steroid Stanozolol, which is also banned by the league.
The prescriptions were reportedly written by Dr. James Shortt, who is the subject of a Drug Enforcement Administration probe for allegedly prescribing steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
Mitchell, a center, filled a testosterone prescription seven times, while Steussie, an offensive lineman now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, obtained 11 refills over an eight-month period in 2004, CBS reported.
Panthers general manager Marty Hurney has said the team is cooperating with a federal subpoena that sought contact information for several players as part of the probe of Shortt. He has said he is not aware of any of the team's players testing positive for steroids.
Hurney did not immediately return a call from the AP seeking comment Tuesday.
According to a report last month in The State of Columbia, Shortt has been under investigation since May.
In September, authorities raided Shortt's Health Dimensions office and Congaree Pharmacy near the Columbia Metropolitan Airport. State and federal agents seized computer data, at least 21 boxes of patient and medical records and 256 audio cassettes, the paper reported.
The "60 Minutes Wednesday" report also includes an interview with a former employee of Shortt, Mignon Simpson, who says she personally shipped human growth hormone to NFL players and that possibly a half-dozen players received hGH from Shortt.
There is no reliable test for hGH.
CBS said Mitchell and Steussie did not respond to repeated calls and letters seeking comment. The network said that when it contacted Sauerbrun by phone, and asked him about Shortt, the punter said, "I like the guy very much."
Ten minutes later, CBS said, Sauerbrun called back to say he had been confused and that he did not know Shortt.
A freekin punter on the juice... whos next the waterboy?

Try and stay with me:
1 - Steroids increase strength
2 - Strength increases bat speed
3 - A major league pitch reaches a batter in four tenths of a second
4 - One of the keys to hitting is the ability to wait on the pitch until the last second
5 - Increased bat speed allows you to wait longer on the ball
If someone tells you that the only thing steroids can do is make you hit the ball further, you're talking to a person who is extremely ignorant about the basic principles of hitting of a baseball.

1 person agrees with me on the fundamentals of hitting a baseball at least.

Not his hand/eye coordination, but they allow him another few hundredths of a second to see the ball. At his age and level of experience, that kind of advantage is invaluable.

All of you are rediculous.
The argument is no longer over whether or not Bonds had an unfair advantage. That point is obvious. The argument is now over whether or not that should taint Bonds' accomplishments and if so, how badly?

I'll talk smack about Bonds and talk smack about any athlete who cheats. Spitting into the wind? It's as if the NFL is our family.... If there's a steroid scandal involving The Duke... now THAT would be spitting into the wind. That of course is impossible. Because Elway is a legit athlete with a legit career and legit records.
