Oooops. Wonder where the poster is who ripped me when I suggested Cushing was a juicer?

Sorry Wally but this is old news. The NFL came out and said its untrue.

I wonder however, how much say if any the NFL has after the combine if any team test assessments are administered. I think that the teams could ask for individual blood tests and therein might be the problem> The NFL offices could not comment on those> Athlets cheating on their Pro Days?!

It's false per NFL drug testing Doctor
But unfortunately I don't believe it. I think USC and Pete Carroll have a mandatory roids program.

I'm right here Wally. Its still speculation at best and all out gossip at its worst.

I think with certain players and positions it's not real strict how they get up to SC speed. It's going to catch up. It's still more rampant then we think, IMO.

I made that comment about Cushing ages ago, if there's one USC player who you would suspect uses it would be him, he's a workout warrior and the amount of weight he's put on from HS to now puts him in the suspicious category.
The NFL is apparently denying it but as Shogun said there have been rumors about Cushing for years now. It's funny when Rey Rey had all his anger management issues people would say he acts like a guy on steroids, and even USC fans would reply "no that's Cushing."
I wouldn't be surprised if it hurts his draft stock even if the NFL is saying it's not true, teams get concerned about that sort of stuff nobody wants their first round pick suspended.

There's a ton of drug use on college AND NFL levels it's just they're getting better at beating it. It's like hackers, the figure out how to break a code, the company finds out how they did it so they change it, it works for awhile until the hackers figure that out too. And so on and so on Same thing in drug tests. As long as there are drug tests there will be people figuring out how to pass 'em

Exactly. And I wish everyone would quit singleing out SC. I am not naive. I am sure it happens at the NCAA level. There is alot of money on the line.
But if it happens at SC, it happens at Miami, and at Texas and at The Eastern Carolina even.
I have a relative who recently played football at one of the best H.S. football programs in the state, who is very good friends with at least half a dozen A.S.U. football players, and who knows most of the team. I could name five current Sun Devils who I know take steroids (several of which took steroids in High School), and they'd be names most Sun Devil fans would recognize.
Steroid use occurs in just about every football program in the NCAA. If the USC linebackers actually tested positive, the scandal wouldn't be that they have used steroids, the story would be how stupid they were by not being able to mask it.
