Terrell Owens? Steroids?
Here is something I wrote nearly two years ago after Owens recovered very quickly from an injury. It is just as apt today:
Is Terrell Owens on Steroids?

I just Googled "Terrell Owens" + "on steroids" and got nothing. Then I Googled "Terrell Owens" + steroids. That got lots of hits, but nothing discussing the question of whether Terrell Owens is on steroids. This seems odd to me, since

1. Steroids have a big effect on promoting healing, and
2. Terrell Owens recovered very quickly from some serious damage.

How else did he make such an amazingly fast recovery? Was it steroids or was it God?
Or was it something else?
When an athlete is injured, I'm all in favour of their using steroids if doing so promotes healing. And for major-league athletes, I suspect the negative externalities of their doing so are pretty minor.
