Anyone who saw Shawne Merriman in the Monday night game against the Oakland Raiders thought he was insanely good. He was going to be the next Lawrence Taylor with his speed, hitting, and that whole Muay Thai kickboxing business. Well, it turns out that Merriman is a freak of nature because of steroids.
A source with knowledge of the test (whatever that means) said that the 4 game suspension expected to be handed out by the NFL is “definitely for steroids . . . not one of those supplement deals.” Merriman is expected to appeal the results. Merriman is the fourth Charger to get in trouble this season but the first of those not to be arrested.
