Romo tells '60 Minutes' he used steroidsAssociated Press

NEW YORK -- Bill Romanowski used steroids and human growth hormone supplied by Victor Conte, the former NFL linebacker tells CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview to be broadcast Sunday.

Romanowski said he took illegal steroids for a two-year period starting in 2001 and got them from Conte, the former head of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, which has been at the center of a steroids controversy in several sports.

"I took [human growth hormone] for a brief period and ... I definitely didn't receive what I got out of THG," Romanowski said, referring to another drug he got from Conte.

In November 2003, the NFL notified Romanowski that he tested positive for the steroid THG.

Romanowski played linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders in a 16-year career that ended in 2003.

Last May, he agreed to pay former Raiders teammate Marcus Williams $415,000 in damages for after punching him during a practice drill in 2003. Romanowski retired that year, having played in the Raiders 48-21 Super Bowl loss to Tampa Bay in January 2003.

Williams' career ended after his eye socket was broken by Romanowski, who ripped off Williams' helmet and hit him in the face.

Williams, who entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2002, played in 13 games as a rookie during Oakland's Super Bowl season. He was used primarily on special teams but was trying to earn a regular position during his sophomore season before he was injured.

The Raiders have claimed they are not responsible for any damages, and fined Romanowski $60,000. Romanowski was not charged with a crime.

Romanowski writes about his NFL career in a soon-to-be-released book, "Romo, My Life on the Edge

Shocking! Shocking, I say!!

Henchman, aren't you glad the Chisox actually won the A.L. Central--I would have hated to see them put up the 2005 WILD CARD CAHMPION banner in Chicago.

The most shocking thing about this whole thread? Hugh Hefner has always been such an ugly SOB to get what "he's gotten". Talk about the power of the dollar.

Money or not, that should be on Unsolved Mysteries. I wonder if there are inordinately high sale of Pepto-Bismol and antidepressants around the Playboy Mansion?

Rick Riley from Sports Illustrated said the book was good, but not nearly as good as the first and second drafts of it. Apparently those versions outed a fair amount of players, but were cut out for the final.

needless to say, I'm not reading it.

MDS · October 19, 2005, 01:47:45 PM

General_Failure · October 19, 2005, 02:39:06 PM

Impossible, he can barely spell his own name.
