NFL investigating 6-8 players for steroids
Saints' McAllister among those being checked for use of weight-loss diuretic

New Orleans running back Deuce McAllister confirmed Sunday that he is one of the players being investigated by the NFL for violation of the league's steroids policy, though he stopped short of saying he had tested positive.

NEW YORK - Six to eight players are under investigation by the NFL for violating the league’s drug policy by taking a weight-loss diuretic that is considered a masking agent for steroids.

A person familiar with the case provided the number of players involved Monday, saying estimates of a higher figure were untrue. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the players are appealing the findings.

The Denver TV station Fox 31 reported last week that six to 10 players had tested positive for Bumetanide, a pill that decreases the amount of water retained in the body by increasing urination. It causes the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine. Other reports put the number of cases as high as 18.

To be honest that seems like a low number.

I would say around 90% of NFL players on steroids.

There's no way that baseball has numbers close to football players being tested for roids.
