***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.

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

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...

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...

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.

Holy crap! I never would have guessed it.

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

Extra Point · 10-13-2005, 05:15 PM

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!"

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.
