Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw recently told Dan Patrick of Sports Illustrated that he used steroids, then changed his story to say he meant cortisteroids, taken to reduce inflammation. In another day or so, Bradshaw will remember he meant baby aspirin.
Before his accidental death in 2005, another former Steeler, Steve Courson, wrote "a 5,000-word letter expressing disappointment that more players weren't open about their steroid use and saying the league's enormous popularity relies on a 'myth' of its players as drug-free heroes." This according to The Baltimore Sun.
Courson, who first admitted his steroid use in 1985, said "the part that is upsetting to me is the realization now that I had to defend myself for almost 20 years for telling the absolute truth."
Why would Courson think that in a business worth BILLIONS that "absolute truth" would be valued?
