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%?

Bodybuilding.

Is that a sport?

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

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.

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.

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

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