Journal entry 19: January 19th

.

I was tested for steroids today, as were the rest of the Mud Puppies. It used to be once a week that they tested, now it seems to be once every two days. I know ofcourse these tests will come back negative, presumably negative for the whole team. At this point, I'd like to tak a little about our team's doctors. Bennett Omula is a naturalized citizen from Nigeria. He used to work with the NFL, until he began testifying about concussions. Omula faced reprucussions, even death threats for his honesty, thus why everyone knows he's honest. Donna Franchella is not known so much for honesty. She was actually convicted of ilegally harvesting organs from dead people. She didn't have the patients' permission or that of their families, but did it to save lives. She spent three months in prison, lost her medical lisence, so she's not officially a doctor, just Bennett Omula's assistant. But she has medical knowledge and has no problem lecturing any of us about the medical dangers of steroids. I tend to think she knows what she's talking about, and she gives me additional motive to never use steroids, or really any drugs, including alcohol and tobacco. I don't know if I'll ever get to the hall of fame, but those odds go way down if I use drugs, so I won't.
