NFL Hall of Famer Fights Teen Steroid Use

In Dick Butkus' nine-year, Hall of Fame career in the NFL, the famously ferocious linebacker never took a single dose of steroids. Now, he's using his anti-steroid track record to raise awareness about the dangers the drugs pose to teenagers.
"He's the driving force behind a new program called 'I Play Clean.org,' and he's touring the country, educating kids, challenging them to stay off steroids."
The website includes facts about steroid use, nutrition and training tips, as well as a place where student athletes can pledge to play clean. An estimated 500,000 teenagers are believed to have used anabolic steroids at least once. Source: CBS
