Guilty: Dana Stubblefield

Dana Stubblefield was a former football defense player. Currently, he is the defensive line coach of the varsity at the Valley Christian High School in California. After the 5-year investigation on the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO) incident, he was pleaded guilty. Sadly, he was the second athlete aside from Marion Jones who lied to federal agents regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs or steroids. The school where Stubblefield is working with doesn’t have any decision yet whether they would still let Stubblefield work with them.

I think Stubblefield has some regrets regarding the issue. Based on his records, he won a lot of titles from 1993 until 2004. I’m sure his own skill per se can lead him to victory even without the use of any steroids. This issue would be a great lesson for any athletes. I hope that cases like this would not happen again.
