Rugby isn't played by 6'3" 300lb men. And those 6'3" 300lb guys are generally moving faster than rugby players are.

However, I'm going to need a little more proof to believe that.

So then with football should we do what we do with wrestling. Acknowledge this surge and accept it as what is needed? </p> Is this fair to the future and present generations?</p>
I suppose that I am different in that I never saw it as a big deal. I assume that these guys are adults and can make their own choices. As I noted earlier, Seymour obviously doesn't because he's projected to take about six months to come back from arthroscopy. You would expect someone to take that long coming back from knee surgery without chemical weapons. But when you see the number of guys able to damage their knees and come back a few weeks later with no real side effects, you have to know that there's a lot of juicing going on. If you don't it's because you don't want to know.
