this time, it's rodeo.
Not the riders. The
bulls. Seriously.
http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=jo-bullsteroids100107&prov=yhoo&type=lgnsAs if the four-legged beasts that weigh up to 2,200 pounds don't have enough testosterone, some bull owners allegedly are injecting the animals with anabolic steroids.
"Oh, I think damn near everybody's doing it," said Jerry Nelson, one of the sport's top bull owners. "It ain't going to slow down. It's just like baseball, football, whatever. It's not going to slow down until you legislate (against) it."And the money quote:
Gilbert Carrillo, a former rider who now raises bulls, said he would welcome drug testing considering what he's seen on the circuit.
"When you got a 2-year-old bull or a 3-year-old bull looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger, there is some form of steroid there," he said.Oh well, at least
der Gropenfuhrer doesn't look like a chimp...
