Former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw told an interviewer last week that he occasionally used steroids in his playing days, but only when prescribed by a doctor to improve the healing process.
"The steroids I'd always taken was to speed up the healing process and that was it. It wasn't to get bigger, stronger, faster," Bradshaw told Dan Patrick on Patrick's radio show.
He not did specify what kind of steroids he took.
During Bradshaw's playing days, steroids were not banned by the NFL and were not illegal. They were approved for use by the FDA and could be readily obtained with a doctor's prescription.
Bradshaw said players in his time in the NFL were not as medically or technologically informed as players are today.
