We can hope for that guy pretty easily.
First, we have no idea what he tested positive for. Second, we have no idea why he took it. Injury recovery is the most common reason guys take steroids in the current pro sports world. It is still clearly cheating, but slightly less on the performance enhancing side. Third, we don't know when he took it and when he didn't.
The bottom line is like I said in my other post. MANY football players get caught using steroids and then play at the same level without ever recording a 2nd positive test. There is not a history of NFL PED busts that would suggest a guy turns into a shell of himself after a positive test. Most continue on with little change.
