I completely disagree that the majority of players are juicing. Football players go through a ridiculous training schedule, that is far more intense than any other american sport, so obviously they're going to be bigger and stronger that 99% of the population. I'm sure many of them use legal supplements, but steroid use by NFL players is nowhere near the level it is for baseball players.

NFL substance abuse punishments are also far more harsh than other sports. To the league office, skipping a test is the same thing as a positive test, and the first strike is a quarter of a season suspension. The next strike is a full season, and a lifetime ban after that. You can't test positive twenty times and still have a career, like you can in baseball and basketball.
