DEA Makes Record Steroid Bust: Is This How Professional Sports Will Look in a Few Months?

Let's hope the boys in professional sports from the Arena Football League to the WWE stocked up on their "performance enhancing substances" because it's going to be a long skinny winter if they didn't. At right is a picture of a paunchy Jack Black and his skinny sidekick from the comedy "Nacho Libre" . . . but it could also be a glimpse into the future without steroids. Once massive, muscle-bound jocks could either turn to flab or skin and bones, but either way, it's not going to be pretty. Why? This week, Federal drug official completed an 18 month investigation into the underground steroid market and arrested 124 people and busted 56 labs in 27 states. All told, the Drug Enforcement Agency seized more than 500 pounds of raw materials and 11.4 million steroid dosage units, enough according to experts, to supply hundreds of users . . . but not anymore. The haul included anabolic steroids, human growth hormone and insulin growth factor, most of it from--where else?--China, and often times in "filthy conditions with no regard to safety." Start taking pics of your favorite athletes now fellas, so you can remember them as they were. (CNN)
