This case is for steroids, though the journalist's writing might lead you to think it is for crack or heroin. It's just steroids.
I figured......we "all" got busted , warned or reprimanded for using other than prescribed dosages over time. When you run , jump, dive, PT, stay awake for days , hump a 100 pound ruck , and move tons of ordnance by hand more often than not ......it makes 20 years in the NFL seem like childs play. Small injuries over time compound and to do what ya love you take risks. I turn 50 this year and albeit my mileage is low .....the sudden stops makes my body feel 75 years old at times. Those who do not make the ultimate sacrifice of life in defending their nation more than likely sacrifice their youth and long term health. These days more care and training is available but in my time it was how much, how fast, how accurate or how far. Sports nutrition should be a mandatory part of training our servicemen and women.
Steriods and or mixed suppliments was what I suspected at first......
Stay safe.....
