Tony Mandarich admits to using steroids.

As a person born and raised in the Lansing area and who's brother had steroid issues and went to the same gym as Tony, this was vastly assumed by anybody who had any sort of brain power back then.

Phewf. Glad that's finally out of the way. I don't have to sit through the entire interview to find out what I've been wondering all these years.

Tonight will be the first night in years that I will be able to sleep now knowing this.

Maple Leafs · 09-30-2008, 02:48 PM

Hadn't he already admitted this years ago?

They turned his testicles into wee little "Mandarich Oranges"

That 1989 SI article is kind of interesting.

http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.c...12/1/index.htm

Some tidbits:

"The man from tomorrow is taking his drugs"

"They claim Mandarich is a walking shrine to steroid abuse. "I played against a guy who was an average offensive tackle [in 1986] who then went from 270 pounds to 300 pounds in one year and became an awesome offensive tackle," says a veteran Big Ten defensive player who competed against Mandarich and wants to remain anonymous. "He had pimples down his arms and was next to bald." Acne and baldness are potential side effects of steroid use."

"Well, in this country you're innocent until proven guilty, and Mandarich has passed the three drug tests he has taken in his career—one before the 1988 Rose Bowl, one before the 1989 Gator Bowl, one at the NFL-sponsored scouting combine he briefly attended in Indianapolis last February. He will be tested again, as will all NFL players, at training camp this summer.

Mandarich vigorously denies ever having used muscle-enhancing drugs, a position defended by his parents, his older brother, John—a nosetackle for the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League—Michigan State strength coach Dave Henry, Perles and several of his teammates.

"Everybody now has become an authority on steroid 'looks,' " says Perles. "This guy's so big, everybody says, Uh-oh. And they accuse him because of that. But nobody works the way he does. Nobody eats the way he does."

"The senior Mandariches would be shattered if they learned that their baby Tony was a steroid user. "I told him, 'You know I give my life to you,' " says Donna, solemnly. " 'But if you ever try drugs, I wish you never come home.' "
