He's saying that there a very real possibility that he did take steroids given the fact that he tested for a masking agent. He also could have been on steroids at the time of the testing, it's questionable when you test positive for the masking agent. What part of his post did he say he tested positive for steroids? He only says he thinks more NFL players are taking steroids than some realize.Again, he didn't. You can argue effectively that his use of a diuretic is suspect, and could be indicative of PED use, but Bowe did not and has not tested positive for any performance enhancing drug.I figured people wouldn't want to hear this. It struck me as funny that a thread on the guy hadn't brought it up since drug usage was the reason for his suspension.Like I said above, I think steroid use in the NFL is far more prevalent than we suspect. I have been watching the NFL since 1970 and players look different today. Some of it is improved training but I am convinced a good deal is drugs. It isn't surprising to me that Bowe tested positive for performance enhancing drug usage. His body appearance reminds me of other recent WRs who had a big rise and then a big fall--think Javon Walker or David Boston. I think that the reason we are seeing more WRs do well as rookies has something to do with drug usage.Personally I feel the possibility of using those drugs to lose weight and to mask any steroids or other drugs he may have took are both valid, and one shouldn't assume one without addressing the possibility of the other. That's why he was suspended. There's ways to lose weight without using a masking agent, so one would wonder who advised him to use such a drug if indeed he was not intending to hide something and why he was not responsible enough to check if what he was putting in his body was against the rules or not.
