***FORMER BRONCO/RAIDER BILL ROMANOWSKI ADMITS CHEATING***

Romanowski admits using steroids from Conte

Bill Romanowski used steroids and human growth hormone supplied by Victor Conte, the former NFL linebacker tells CBS' 60 Minutes in an interview to be broadcast Sunday.

Romanowski said he took illegal steroids for a two-year period starting in 2001 and got them from Conte, the former head of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, which has been at the center of a steroids controversy in several sports.
"I took (human growth hormone) for a brief period and ... I definitely didn't receive what I got out of THG," Romanowski said, referring to another drug he got from Conte.

In November 2003, the NFL notified Romanowski that he tested positive for the steroid THG.

Romanowski played linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos and Oakland Randy Moss and the Raiderz in a 16-year career that ended in 2003.

Last May, he agreed to pay former Randy Moss and the Raiderz teammate Marcus Williams $415,000 in damages for a hit to the face during a practice drill in 2003. Williams' career ended after his eye socket was broken.

Romanowski played for the Randy Moss and the Raiderz during their 2002 Super Bowl season.

He writes about his NFL career in a soon-to-be-released book, Romo, My Life on the Edge.

I'm stunned. Stunned, I tell you! Romanowski cheated?!?!?!?!

The entire Broncos organization used to work very, very closely with BALCO, I'd guarantee he's not the only one from those teams that is guilty of that...

Ah. Trying to drum up book sales, I see.

I really wish that he wouldn't sell a single copy, or that the NFL would rule that criminals can't profit from their crimes and sue to get the profits of this stupid and undoubtedly ghost-written book.

NO!

Holy crap! I never would have guessed it.

I had no idea! What a ghey, nothing good should ever happen for him.

You mean to tell me he didn't before '01? BALCO is the tip of the iceberg! Guess you have to buy Romo's book to find what's under the water. I don't, because I think they left out the chapter entitled "See Snakes!"

He also played for the fartywhiners.

So in the Donks Championship years they had cap violations, players on steroids and caught cheating in the playoff game against the Chiefs when they had forgotten to showe after their pregame crisco party? Them Donk fans sure have alot to be proud of.

They're too busy being mad at Eddie Kennison for choosing his pregnant, lupus-afflicted wife over them to deal with the reality of their own dishonor.

You're not too swift... Here's some help:

"Romanowski said he took illegal steroids for a two-year period starting in 2001"

2001 was his last year as a starter, and he was looking over his shoulder.

[sarcasm]Insert utterly and completely shocked response here[/sarcasm]

Jezzus, TJ. That's when he ADMITS to starting. You can't tell me you're that freakin' gullible, are you?

Wait... you still think that the salary cap violations were an innocent oversite and your trophies aren't tarnished.

You are that gullible. Sorry if I caused any doubt.

ASS-TE-RISK of getting caught. No-brainer here.... Of course, that's what Lyle Alzodo tried to say, 20 years ago. My boy may be the skinniest wide-out/free safety in the game, but he's gonna stay that way, and thank goodness the head coach for his team is a bigger man for it.......

:rolleyes:

I thought this was a Chiefs' board? Take this shit elsewhere...

The sun sets in the west.

The year Romo started with BALCO, he was shown the door and ended up helping Oakland make to the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs have plenty of steroid users attached to their franchise in recent years: Johnny Morton (BALCO client), Mike Cloud (suspended by the NFL for steroids) and John Welbourn.

Actually, during the Broncos Super Bowl seasons they worked hand in hand with BALCO labratories to increase athletic performance. Also, John Elway used to be one of their spokespersons and appeared on their website. I've posted the links to all this stuff before...

This is from a 1999 Victor Conte interview before any of this BALCO-steroid stuff got started...

Cheating related to steroids in the NFL? Only cheating yourself for not being with the program. Get real, this isn't baseball...

Constipated grapes? I don't get it.

That interview with Victor Conte was in 1999 long before THG was even invented. In the grand jury testomony, the Broncos had as many ex-players (Romo) as Chiefs ex-players (Johnnie Morton) testifying. The players that testified were the ones connected to THG use.

All I know is, the NFL has busted two Chiefs in recent years for failing steroid tests and there have been zero Broncos that have tested positive.

And in other news tonight, the sky is blue.

The Chiefs tested positive soon after a game with the Broncos in which Romo SPAT upon them.

Well, it could have been worse I guess.

Soemtimes that stuff can make a person overly aggressive and liable to commit criminal assault.

Romo would never do anything like that. I think he was a Sunday school teacher.

"I killed Nicole" - OJ

"His spit in the face of San Francisco receiver J.J. Stokes during a 1997 game was captured up close by "Monday Night Football" cameras. He mocked the intelligence of Pittsburgh quarterback Kordell Stewart during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. In his "60 Minutes" interview, Romanowski spoke about how he purposely snapped a finger that he felt at the bottom of pile, thinking the finger belonged to New York Giants running back Dave Meggett. It did."

Man I hate that guy.... How dirty can you be?? It is no coincidence that he played for both Denver and Oakland.........

That truly is disgusting.

It really annoys me that this guy is now trying to make money by recounting all the ways that he was a lying, cheating jerk. Anyone dumb enough to buy his book is probably too dumb to read it.

Certainly not outloud.

Watch, TJ's lips are moving...

I know the chiefs fans will probably say no, but how many of you would take some enhancement to play in the NFL? Millions of dollars, increased performance, playoff victories, superbowl. Is Romanowski worried about his legacy? His legacy is hard hits, playing somewhat dirty, and probably 20 Million to his wife and kids. Not a bad tradeoff in my book. As many in NASCAR say, if you aren't cheating you aren't trying.

He'll probably die before he's fifty. I'd say it was worth it.

So did John Candy, and the only enhancement he took was cheeseburgers.

Gaurd Lambert : Are'nt they legal?

Paul 'Wrecking' Crewe : No their not.

Guard Lambert : Am I a loser?

Paul 'Wrecking' Crewe : Yes you are.

Guard Lambert : OH GODDAMN IT!

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son

So personal honor and integrity are for sale huh? Whats the cut off line? $1,000,000? $500,000? Wheres the line that you sell your honor for money?

You guys are terribly misinformed about responsible steroid use. It's not gonna kill you before your 50, make you an asshole or any of that crap. That's propaganda that the government and media puts out. Like someone else once put it, "take a guy who is an asshole and put him on gear, chances are he might be more of an asshole". Most guys that use would never give off the slightest behavioral sign of it. Arnold used a ton more than any football player ever does. Despite some problems that MAY be somewhat related, is doing real well. Alzado was a lying sack of shit, and as many know had other problems and put them off on steroids. I ain't even gonna start an argument by stating what percentage users I think would be using steroids on EVERY single team in the NFL. I can just tell you it would be high. I shouldn't even really post this kind of truthful stuff, because most of the cool guys get the benefit of the doubt from you guys. Get real guys, there are lots of guys on performance enhancers in all sports, and they all work like mother-f'ers to achieve their goals. If any of you guys think that you can take some juice and half-ass lift and make it to the NFL, you would be dead wrong.

say it ain't so, Romo.
I thought he beat the fuck out of a teammate because he was an intense competitor.

The BALCO association is just another taint on the the Bronco's championship. I'm glad steroids weren't invented the last time the Chiefs won a Superbowl.


Wait, that didn't come out right.

And the pope drinks wine....

If I was the guy Romo pounded I would be suing Balco & Conte for selling a mind altering substance to someone who then ruined my career.

Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa are cheaters too, hopefully one of them will get hard up for money, write a book and then fess up too.

Thank you Big Daddy.
