Former UH player talks about steroid use in college football
UH's Bryan Maneafaiga scored a touchdown against Nevada at Aloha Stadium. With uneven testing for steroids and inconsistent punishment, college football players are packing on significant weight — in some cases, 30 pounds or more in a single year — without drawing much attention from their schools or the NCAA. In the summer of 2004, Maneafaiga was an undersized 180-pound running back trying to make the University of Hawaii football team. He'd started injecting stanozolol, a steroid, in the summer to help bulk up to a roster weight of 200 pounds.
