Your comment about a person's metabolism is only correct for a portion of the population. I have a personal friend, who very rarely does any kind of lifting, yet he looks like a thin bodybuilder. I have another friend, who grew up in South Carolina and actually played Pop Warner football against Stephen Davis. He said Davis was huge, fast, and dominant compared to all the other ten year olds he was playing against. I doubt very seriously that Stephen Davis was juicing when he was ten years old.

Most athletes are genetic freaks, who have been bigger and faster than everyone else their entire lives. While I agree that a lot of players may use supplements, it's a little close minded to assume that a player is juicing simply because he is bigger and stronger than the average person.
