Much has been written about the Steelers, the 1970s, and their use of steroids. The current public perception is the Steelers began and glamorized the use of roids in the 70s. Read my article to find out who one man, with 4 NFL teams, spread the use of steroids throughout the NFL, beginning in 1963, and see just how pervasive roid usage was by the time the Steelers began their decade of dominance.

Great first article, and welcome to BR. I really like your work. But if you dont mind a piece of advice, Bleacher likes smaller paragraphs. They like them to not be more than 2-3 sentences each. It makes it easier to read, and if you want to be syndicated, then you need to follow that formula, because that is what CBS wants.
If you have any questions or need any help with anything, please feel free to drop me a line at any time.

You commented on one of my articles, but there are four pages of comments, and I couldnt find you. Please dont think I was ignoring you, because I try to respond to all comments, it is just about two weeks old, and I just cant find you. Feel free to write me a post on my bullitin board and I will be more than happy to respond.

Thanks,
Nick
