Area bowlers busted for illegal steroids
After a record number of perfect 300 games, Michigan officials got suspicious. HALF of the 50 bowlers they tested were positive for steroids.
SAULT STE. MARIE - It was just a matter of time before the nationwide steroid scandal hit home for Sault Ste. Marie residents, but most people probably thought it would be a football issue.
As it turns out steroids are all over the alleys - the bowling alleys, that is.
A state record number of 300 games at the DonDee Lanes over the past few years has apparently grabbed the attention of bowling's governing body, the United States Bowling Congress (USBC).
“Bowling a 300 game is a very difficult feat and it's not something that should be happening every single year,” said USBC representative Doug Donaldson. “The number of perfect games being rolled in that alley certainly demands a certain amount of attention.”
The attention it got though was not the kind the DonDee was hoping for. A small task force from the USBC showed up on one of the alley's many league nights recently and demanded that a number of bowlers take a drug test using the usually reliable urine sample.

When will the mainstream public realize just how many athletes (D1 and up) are taking some form of steroid?
"You want the truth? You cant handle the truth!" :toofunny:
Then, when will they accept the fact that elite competitors are willing to take extraordinary measures to be the best?
I, for one, enjoy seeing players bounce home runs off good year blimps. We pay top dollar to see the absolute highest level of competition. Dont criticize them for taking measures to ensure that the bar continues to be raised over and over. Performance enhancing drugs were in pro sports long before steroids. Its the nature of the beast.
