Tomorrow night, Showtime will air a particularly controversial Inside the NFL, as Tony Mandarich admits that he cheated on a drug test in the 1988 Rose Bowl when his team, Michigan State, beat USC. He also admits to taking other drugs and implies that he was not the only athlete on the Michigan State team to use illegal substances.

The LA Times reports that the following dialogue transpires during Inside the NFL:

Mandarich: There are other factors that were involved that nobody knows about that were way more of an effect on why I had the huge downfall in Green Bay than steroids (such as) drug and alcohol abuse. I was injecting a drug called staydal ... and it was euphoric. I went from doing one injection on that one day, and a week later I was doing between 5 [to] 7 shots a day for the next three years.

Armen Keteyian: You went into Green Bay essentially a drug addict?

Mandarich: Mmm hmm, not the same, not the same person they drafted. I got to the point where it was a struggle to workout three or four times a week because the priority of getting high was above the priority of working out.

Oh snap! Guess the college football program at Michigan State isn’t as squeaky clean as we’d like to imagine, but why is Mandarich coming clean now? Does it all just come down to money? And what are the potential repercussions for the former members and coaches of each team?
