I'm friends with a girl who has a brother in the NFL right now. Talking to him, it's pretty much general knowledge that just about everyone is doing something. Some of the guys who wanted to remain legal were doing prohomrones before they were banned, but androgens in general run rampant.
I don't see how an owner couldn't know about it. Same goes for baseball.
EDIT: Also from the Canseco book:
"Canseco said he, McGwire and Jason Giambi shot steroids together in the bathroom stall at the Oakland Coliseum." :think: :nono:

Canseco: Bush had to know about steroids
After months of talking about naming names in a tell-all book, retired slugger Jose Canseco is about to do just that.
The New York Daily News published details of the former slugger's book, which is still in the editing stages, in Sunday's editions.
Canseco writes that he personally injected Mark McGwire with steroids and that he saw McGwire and Jason Giambi inject each other, according to the paper.
The long-awaited "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big," is scheduled for release by Regan Books on Feb. 21. Regan publicist Paul Olsewski told The Associated Press in an e-mail that the release date could be moved up.
Parent company HarperCollins posted a book description on its Web site that said Canseco "made himself a guinea pig of the performance-enhancing drugs" and added the 1988 AL MVP "mixed, matched and experimented to such a degree that he became known throughout the league as 'The Chemist.'"
McGwire, who has long denied steroid use, said in a statement to the Daily News: "I have always told the truth and I am saddened that I continue to face this line of questioning. With regard to this book, I am reserving comment until I have the chance to review its contents myself."
Canseco claims he introduced the performance enhancers to Rafael Palmeiro, Ivan Rodriguez, and Juan Gonzalez when he joined the Rangers in 1992.
Rodriguez and Gonzalez said that they had not seen book and declined comment. Attempts to contact Palmeiro's agent have been unsuccessful.
"Neither our current owner, general manager and manager were with the Rangers then," Texas spokesman Gregg Elkin said. "The Rangers continue to support baseball's initiative to get steroids out of the game."
Canseco also writes that President Bush "had to have been aware" of rampant steroid use on the Texas Rangers when he owned the club in the early 1990s, the Daily News reported.
The White House had no comment on Canseco's specific allegation, but did say the President called on leagues and players unions to eradicate steroid use in his 2004 State of the Union address.
Giambi's agent, Arn Tellem, took issue with Canseco's credibility.
"This book, which attacks baseball and many of its players, was written to make a quick buck by a guy desperate for attention, who has appeared on more police blotters then lineup cards in recent years, has no runs, no hits and is all errors," Tellem told the Daily News.
A few years ago, Canseco claimed that 80 percent of major leaguers had taken steroids. Last spring, he said: "I think the numbers may have changed. Who knows? Maybe the numbers have diminished."
Canseco hit 462 home runs in a major league career from 1985-2001.

Canseco is a sellout, who rats out his former teammates and friends for his sleezy book. May he burn in hell.

Its permeated the NFL to extents that the public would never believe.... I have seen numbers subject
to the patient confidentiality that would truly scare the public.............
They should just accept it for what it is........ 60% of olympic runners present with symptoms of chronic
asthma .. whereas less than 3% of the population has this condition... and outside of the US there are most
often prescribed CLENBUTEROL for this... alas these runners run faster by prescription.......... imagine that...

I agree with you, but most people don't know how widespread it is. That's why this whole steroid fiasco in MLB is such a big deal (fueled by ESPN).
A cocaine addict is a troubled person but a steroid user is pure evil (and is making a terrible life changing mistake in all cases). <--- Most people's opinion
