Professional sports with the most use of steriods
 

Which professional sport do you think today has the most widespread use of steroids or other forms of performance enhancing drugs, as of right now?

Please discuss your choice.

Does professional body building count?

I clicked American Football because I don't know jack about MMA, but cycling is probably a very strong candidate. In terms of percentage, quite likely the winner.

My guess is soccer would be at the bottom, with basketball pretty close. I've heard most say it's a non-issue in the NBA, but I haven't read up on it lately.

No, I'm not being facetious or otherwise disingenuous. I really have a hard time considering that a sport.

Professional wrestling.

Cycling, easily.

I should have added this. Clearly.

Pro wrestling is obviously not a sport.

The one vote for baseball obviously just takes what the media spoonfeeds them.

The answer has to be American football and I doubt its close. They just do a really good job of not getting the public eye that Bonds/MLB does.

for the majors, I agree with football. But everything I've read about professional cycling is that everyone dopes. The winners just don't get caught. It's been a major issue with them for years, way before Sosa and McGuire.

WTF no Badminton!?!?

Re: Professional sports with the most use of steriods
 

Cycling or track & field sports (sprinting) probably have the most

At the elite level, approximately 100% of bodybuilders use steroids.

Can you approximate this to a more precise level, please. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Is it 100% or 100.00000%?

It's more of a sport than many things that ESPN shows. You'd actually be surprised at how tiring a posing routine can actually be. They are flexed for an abnormal length of time.

And, of course, the training is incredibly intense.

As I mentioned earlier, pretty much every elite body builder uses steroids. It's not mentioned a lot. The major competitions don't test for steroids. And there's even a separate category for "natural" bodybuilders (because "natural" ones can't compete against the roid monsters.)

So I'd says it's a lot more than the NFL, because even in the NFL, there are probably some positions that don't benefit from steroids.

Do you really think you can look like this without roids:

Cycling seems to have had its fair share at least recently.

I also thought that Football had one of the strongest and first testing policy (on par with Olmypic standards).

While Baseball has waited the most to issue the testing and has few/weak testing.

As you can tell i voted for Baseball.

Re: Professional sports with the most use of steriods
 

I voted Other. Like other said before, Cycling, and I feel like track and field seems to have alot of steroid users. That or I just happen hear about everoyne that gets caught.

NFL would be a close second, considering how many people I see juicing in college locker rooms I'd be surprised not to see the same number of people doing it at the NFL level. It's the extra 5 reps u get at 315 or the half of tenth faster you get that makes all the difference between playing and riding the bench.

If the question was asked as of 2001 instead of 2007, the answer may well have been baseball.
