The other day Brett Favre had retired from seventeen years in the National Football League. He will go down as one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. He went out on a record breaking season and will most likely make it into the Hall of Fame his first year on the ballot.
Along with Brett retiring, Sam Cassell signed with the Boston Celtics basketball team the other day. He will be ending his fourteenth season with the National Basketball Association this year. Throughout these years he has been with multiple teams along the way.
Barry Bonds will be entering his twenty second season in Major League Baseball. He currently holds the home run record* and is now a free agent in the MLB. He has only been with two teams in his career and who knows if anyone will sign him now because of the whole steroids controversy.
What do all these people have to do with exactly? Well steroids can have the effect of players lasting longer in athletics becasue they will always have energy to perform every game. Now I am not saying that all these players had used steroids or HGH but it could be a possibility just because of the length. There are many other players the I could have pointed out but there are to many of them to name. It is just remarkable how they can stay in the game this long and still perform at their best.

Steamboat--
I can point to many players who had long careers that had no whiff of suspicion for using steroids, either. While the question is worthwhile to ask, your decision to include Favre and Cassell here (Bonds is being investigated) is misleading and probably dishonest, especially since you spend so little time on the question itself and more time discussing the players.
