Doesn't mean it still wasnt incredibly stupid though. How do you put something in your body in this league without knowing if its on the banned substance list or not??

I'm a saints fan as well, but I don't know Deuce McAllister so I don't think really don't have much of an opinion on if he'd juice up or not. However I think if put yourself in the position of a professional athlete, they are trying to make a lifetime of money in 4-8 years so the pressure to do what you can to keep the money coming in must be immense. Most of those guys couldn't make much more than 50k a year after they are done so even just to squeak out 1 more year could be like 10 years of regular salary.
