Wanted to give everyone a headsup of a great OTL episode this week.
Let me give a (feeble) attempt to summarize...
The story centers around Alvin Roy (strength coach) and Sid Gilman (head coach) of the early 1960s Sand Diego Chargers.
Roy, formerly an Olympic weightlifting coach, brought anabolic steroids to the Chargers around 1960.
Chargers took little pink pills along with the amphetamines, etc (that all teams were taking at the time).
Chargers won the 1963 AFL championship (Roy had previously brought a championship to the 1959? LSU college team through steroids).
It appears that the rest of the league didn't know about roids until the Chargers and NFL were sue'ed by a former Charger in 1969/1970.
The early 70s were famous for wider steroids use, the 70s Steelers perhaps more famously so than any other.
Steriods use continues individually and sometimes systematically (nearly all the Olinemen on the Panthers SB team this decade).
Sid Gilman was loved by his players and called revolutionary in gameplanning (called the father of "counter intelligence").
It's a great watch; catch it if you can...
