Probably the rampant PEDs. The NFL is worse than professional cycling these days.
Even before Lance, the UCI/WADA implemented among the toughest, if not the toughest, doping control schemes in sports.
The Bio Passport, automatic urine tests of winners and podium placers for each race. Random in-event controls, random out-of-competition tests, etc. Riders are required to report their whereabouts so that they can be randomly tested over a dozen times per year, wherever they may be. Multi-year suspensions for anyone testing positive and losing the appeal, to start. 4 year ban, I believe, on 2nd positive.
Compare that the NFL's pathetic drug policy, where players aren't even tested for recreational drugs during the season. And only a few-game suspension for getting caught.

At least in the MLB if you get caught with PEDs you can't play in the postseason that year. edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_drug_policy#Discipline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_drug_pol...
- burger_moon 8y agoDoes anyone think the NFL could exist as it does without PEDs?
- doggydogs94 8y agoI do not care if players use performance degrading recreational drugs.
