Maybe. Though did you see how much 'PED' they actually found in his system? It was 0.1% or something like that. Almost negligible.
Some doctor they brought onto one of the local sportscasts admitted that the amount indicated that it wasn't likely Hopkins was using it for recovery purposes, because it wasn't enough to do anything significant.
The doc said that probably more likely that the substance (that I can never remember the name of, sorry) was ingested incidentally along with whatever he was really taking.
But sure, if he was taking something for recovery knowingly, that might be an issue for a team looking at adding him to their roster.
I've never said that Deandre was Iron Man;
just that some people are blowing his injury history out of proportion, making it appear that Deandre is 'washed,' or doesn't have the ability to play at the NFL level, when he clearly (if you watched him last year) is still playing at a very high level.
