But his body couldn't quite keep up.
It's a shame really. People like you and me get a little older and we can go to the doctor and get testosterone therapy.
Athletes can't (as long as they are still playing). So they end up unable to compete with the younger guys.
The exact opposite of professional bodybuilding. A guy Manning's age would be in the prime of his competitive years (since they can take steroids in MASSIVE amounts).
Not saying that pro football, basketball, or baseball should have players on massive amounts of steroids.
But I do think it would be only fair if they allowed testosterone therapy.
Perhaps set a level of free testosterone in the blood that is equal to the average man at age 25.
That way a guy in his 30's (and even well into his 40's) could still play at a high physical level by keeping their testosterone levels at an optimum level.
It would be freakin' awesome to have a guy like Manning with all of his experience and knowledge of the game still be able to "go" physically as well.
Just seems kind of unfair that "normal" people can get testosterone and keep their bodies in shape and their cocks hard...but a pro athlete has to suffer without.
