Former 49er Dana Stubblefield Lied Abolut His Steroid Use
Winning the title of first football player to be nabbed in the BALCO scandal, ex-49ers defensive lineman Dana Stubblefield was charged with lying to a federal agent when he denied taking steroids. Oh, Dana. he is expected to plead guilty in a San Francisco federal courtroom later on today.
This comes on the heels of former Olympic athlete Marion Jones receiving a six month sentence for her involvement in the BALCO scandal. And now that jail time is being dolled out, we wonder how much time, if any, Bonds will get in the clink? Just saying.
Jones, Stubblefield, Bonds--all of this begs the question: OMG, what on earth is Mary J. Blige doing using steroids? We simply refuse to believe it, but, like, really, Real Love? You too are possibly using the juice? We are most intrigued.

I'm sure this will be followed with attendant screeching by pundits and calls for congressional hearings following the announcement that a football player got nabbed for steroids.
Oh, wait. Nevermind
And people say cycling is rife with drug abuse.
"Black Singer Uses Illicit Drugs" ? Also--newsflash: the ocean is wet.
The flap over steroids isn't so much that it's a drug, it's that it amounts to cheating. Mary isn't a professional athlete. She doesn't make a living by setting her body up in competition with the bodies of others (With Fiddy, I concede that point.)
Why use HGH? Because it has a shit-load of health benefits--when used properly. There's a distinction to be made between HGH and roid-rage designer drugs like "The Clear". After shredding my knee in a sports accident, a doctor injected HGH into my kneecap. Presto-chango, after a few weeks a decade-old injury was healed as if it never happened.
If I were wealthy, I'd probably get my hands on a stash of HGH too.
