    According to the former college football player, performance enhancing drugs were used by around 10-15 players on his college team in the 1980s, when testing was rare. He noted one instance where a player had to go to the hospital after gaining 30 pounds overnight. The player said there were no consequences for using PEDs at the college level at that time since testing was essentially non-existent. He believed PED use was more common in college than high school due to the lack of testing policies in both eras.
