Some NFL teams look like they're on greenies or some sort of speed when the game starts. When the Seattle Seahawks had that great defense, they were so fast in the first quarter that it looked suspicious.
But, there's a huge difference between something like a "greenie" and steroids and other PED's.
It's obvious the way Baffert's horses run (fast early, don't get tired in the stretch the way other trainer's horses do) that something is being applied artificially. But, there are still a lot of gullible people who think his success is due to his training ability. There will always be people that fall for this. Yeah, and Lance Armstrong won 7 straight Tour De France's because he was better than everyone else.
I remember how so many baseball writers embarrassed themselves with their coverage of Mark McGwire. You had to be a complete idiot to think that he wasn't using steroids, yet long-time baseball writers were writing shit like "McGwire started a new workout program and bulked up during the off-season and boy is it paying off!"
