MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — TV broadcaster Brent Musburger told journalism students at the University of Montana that professional athletes under a doctor’s supervision could use steroids to improve performance.
The Missoulian reported that Musburger, the lead college football broadcaster for ABC and ESPN, said steroids have no place in high school athletics, but they could be used at the “professional level under the proper care and doctor’s advice.”
“Here’s the truth about steroids: They work,” he said.
He said negative stories about steroids are mainly the fault of “journalism youngsters” who don’t know what they’re talking about and urged them to ask: “What do the doctors actually think about anabolic steroids and the use by athletes? Don’t have a preconceived notion that this is right or this is wrong.”
