Romanowski admits steroid use
***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. |

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.......

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. |

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

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. |
