Can you guys name some high-profile NFL players who's been suspended for PED use?

blackmon, cushing, merriman

He's not playing anymore but David Boston.

If you consider Adderall a PED, then just start throwing darts at the Seahawks roster and you're bound to hit a few.

Cushing & Merriman are the most egregious examples. Cushing had levels of certain markers and hormones in his body higher than the lab had ever recorded & they weren't sure were humanly possible. What's crazy is that he's a total nutritional freak too, one of those dudes that carries around baggies of nuts and dried fruit to eat at certain times and would stop plowing Erin Andrews & Salma Hayek if it interfered with his carefully regimented food intake schedule.

I don't think it's crazy, I think his strict regiment makes it more likely to use PEDs. Keep in mind that optimal nutrition will only take you so far - there is a physiological limit to amount of muscle mass one can have, recovery rate, etc... that PEDs will enhance over and above good nutrition.

Besides, if it keeps Selma Hayek in the picture, that's another benefit...
