Career Highs

The Atlanta Falcons were touting the best running game in the NFL. Now we can attribute the success in some part to the sixth man, better known as the 'banned substance'. Starting guard Matt Lehr was suspended four games by the NFL for using either steroids of some type of ephedrine. Given that the offensive line of the Falcons is known more for speed than size, the money is on SPEED.

As well, Lions defensive tackle Shaun Rogers was getting a banned boost into two Pro Bowls. Apparantly, Rogers suffered from sleep apnea, which led him to oversleep the day of a game last season. It was also reported that this condition somehow led him to eating late at night, a definate no-no when you are fat, or a 340 pound defensive lineman. So Rogers went Romanowski and found his cure in an appetite suppressant, which normally contains the active ingredient ephedra. Now he's on a four-game vacation from the NFL.

Rogers had known that sleep apnea led to the death of Reggie White, so he went with a substance that likely assisted in the death of Corey Stringer...makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
