Question
How come no basketball players have been implicated in the steroid scandal or have there been any
players theat have been caught using ever?

Answer
There has never been a college or NBA player that has ever been caught using steroids.  As for baseball and football, a player uses steroids to bulk up their muscle for power and strength, where in basketball you need to get up and down the court with speed and quickness.  That kind of conditioning would not benifit a basketball player especially with the constant motion the game is played at.
