Por anos, the NBA has avoided the whole sports-steroids controversy largely because A) few people have tested positive, and B) basketball is not commonly associated with steroid use. Contudo, both of these factors were blown wide open when Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose said that he believes the NBA has a "huge" problem with roids. É possível check these comments out here.
To sum things up without you having to check the article out, Rose was asked to rate the league's steroid problem on a scale of 1-10, and he said, "Sete. It's huge, and I think we need a level playing field, where nobody has that advantage over the next person."
This is in stark contrast to the comments made by Lebron James, whose Miami Heat team just bounced the Bulls from the playoffs. King James said, "It's something that's not done. It's just something in the NBA that hasn't been done, so no one's going to start. I wouldn't expect to see anybody taking steroids in the game of basketball. That would be kind of crazy."
Claro, there are several players who can dispute the 'something that's not done' comment, including Darius Miles, Rashard Lewis and O.J. Mayo, who were all suspended for using performance enhancing substances.
And while this may not highlight a huge problem, you can be sure that the league's youngest ever MVP (Rose) saying things of this magnitude will spark a further investigation into the matter.
