What do football players say while they test positive for steroids?

The National Football League is not allowed to reveal details, when players fail drug tests. It is only reported that certain persons have tested positive for prohibited preparations. But the League must not report which substances have been used by these sportspersons. Thus, some football players lie about medicines that have resulted in positives.
Why do some football players choose to lie about substances that have been administered by them? Let explain.
Numerous football players that fail drug tests say that they have used Adderall. In fact, they have used anabolic steroids. Why do they affirm that they have tested positive for Adderall? What is Adderall? This is a preparation which is indicated to treat attention-deficit disorder. But this drug is taken not only for this medical need. Sportspersons and bodybuilders use this medication for performance-enhancing effects.
When it comes to steroids, they are widely blamed. Numerous journalists, scientists, anti-doping officials and ordinary people say that these medicines are too dangerous. They may lead to various severe unwanted consequences. Anabolic steroids are blamed even for some crimes. But as for Adderall, this medication is not blamed in the society. So, numerous football players try to avoid criticism. They don’t desire to be demonized for administration of such forbidden medicines, as steroids. Since consumers of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players say that they have failed drug tests because they have taken Adderall.
A football player compared this situation with following cases: those who are caught with cocaine tell others that they have taken marijuana because cocaine is more harshly demonized than the last one.
You should not think that every football player who says that he has tested positive for Adderall has really applied steroids. But it is possible to conclude that those that administer Adderall are less demonized than those who take steroids.
