Sportswriters create wrong perception in people about the Pittsburgh Steelers

When it is proclaimed that the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to play, reporters seem to be responsible to write about their links with steroids. They put efforts to create a steroid scandal and to define any supposed relations of this team with it.
Mike Fish of ESPN displayed the same attitude, when the Pittsburgh Steelers played in the 2009 Super Bowl.  This reporter turned to be lucky in writing news linked with this team and steroids.
However reporters are not always lucky, when it comes to allegations of a team or an individual with performance-enhancing drugs before a competition, the situation is changed, if it is spoken about the Steelers. Sportswriters like writing about their history, about the lesson linked with anabolic steroids that took place in 1970s.
David Fleming wrote about historical lessons of the Steelers before a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. This sportswriter reported about time, when the NFL hadn’t yet banned intake of steroids. Thus, according to some sources, players of the Pittsburgh Steelers took steroids in the late 1970s. It is written in the 1991 book “False Glory: The Steve Courson Story” that over 70 % of the offensive linemen of the Pittsburgh Steelers  took steroids.
It must have been true but it is necessary to understand that intake of steroids was not forbidden. Why are the Steelers blamed, if intake of steroids was permitted?
Jim Haslett told the New Orleans Saints that the Steelers had won a lot if times in 1970s and in 1980s due to steroids. According to this trainer, the football players of the team became much stronger due to steroids.
But it is important to be careful here. The Steelers were not the first football team that took steroids and other products that cause performance-enhancing effects. There were other teams in professional football that applied steroids even in well-organized way.
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 Pittsburgh Steelers were not responsible for the steroid revolution in football. There was another team that had to be condemned for this factor. The San Diego Charges applied steroids before the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1960s.  
Although the Pittsburgh Steelers used steroids in 1970s, it is impossible to consider that they won due to steroids. There were also players of other teams that took these medicines too. Nonetheless, the Pittsburgh Steelers were successful!
