Sportswriters put efforts to create steroid scandals related to the Pittsburgh Steelers

When it is proclaimed that the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to play, sportswriters seem to have responsibility to write about their relations with steroids. They try to create a steroid scandal and to define any supposed connections of this team with it.
Mike Fish of ESPN displayed the same attitude, when this football team played in the 2009 Super Bowl.  This reporter turned to be successful in writing news about this football team and steroids.
However sportswriters are not always lucky, when it comes to connections of a team or an individual with performance-enhancing drugs before a competition, the situation is changed, if it is said about the Pittsburgh Steelers. Reporters prefer writing about their history, about the lesson connected with anabolic steroids that took place in 1970s.
David Fleming wrote about historical lessons of the Pittsburgh Steelers before a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. This sportswriter reported about time, when the NFL hadn’t yet forbidden usage of steroids. Thus, according to some sources, players of the Pittsburgh Steelers used steroids in the late 1970s. It is noted in the 1991 book “False Glory: The Steve Courson Story” that more than 70 % of the offensive linemen of the Pittsburgh Steelers  applied steroids.
It must have been true but you must understand that usage of steroids was not forbidden. Why are the Steelers blamed, if intake of steroids was allowed?
Jim Haslett told the New Orleans Saints that the Pittsburgh Steelers had won numerous times in 1970s and in 1980s because of steroids. According to this trainer, the football players of the team became much stronger due to administration of steroids.
But it is necessary to be careful here. The Steelers were not the first football team that administrated steroids and other medicines which possess performance-enhancing effects. There were other teams in professional football that took steroids even in well-organized manner.
Matt Chaneygives the better explanation connected with administration of steroids by football players. He mentioned in his book “The Spiral of Denial: Muscle Doping in American football” that the Steelers hadn’t to be demonized for the steroid revolution in football. There was another team that had to be condemned for this aspect. The San Diego Charges took steroids before the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1960s.  
However the Steelers took steroids in 1970s, it is impossible to suppose that they won due to steroids. There were also players of other teams that administrated these products too. Nonetheless, the Pittsburgh Steelers were successful!
