***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.

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.

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.

Thank you Big Daddy.
