Also, the NFL stance on PED usage states that ultimately players are responsible for what they put into their bodies.

This stance doesn't really take into account the possiblity that a player can pay a health professional for treatment of an injury at which point they relinquish control to the health professional. I realize a doctor is always supposed to tell you exactly how he plans to treat an injury but what if this guy Galea just went ahead and did what he felt was in the player's best interest to heal the injury and neglected to disclose the nature of the treatment as it pertained to the NFL PED policy. I only bring this up because apparently this doctor was pretty well respected in the sports medicine community and had a tremendous patient roster with some very notable names on it.
