So you've started by saying PED's are the reason players get torn ACL's and then within minutes said it now hurts you in the long run? Constant abuse of performance enhancing drugs will lead to a break down of your body, but generally around the ages of 45-60 depending on the level of abuse.
Also don't go acting like the players on PED's muscles are too strong for their tendons and joints hence why ACL's are being done left right and center. Obviously PED's allow you to develop your muscles to a much higher size than usual, but unless your quads look like this:
Then PED's in a constant moving sport like basketball aren't too blame. I think it's time to put your big boy thinking cap on and realise that basketball is a rough sport on your legs, constant moving in different directions coupled with the fact that humans generally aren't designed to move like that at such speeds.
There's a reason why so many players retire early and have tendonitis, arthritis and other such injuries hampering them throughout their career and life.
I beg the differ. And first of all. it's you're, no your. But you just confessed that your body can indeed breakdown over a certain length of time from PED use. 45-60 years of age? If that is so, then please explain why virtually all baseball players on drugs got hurt towards the end of their career. Mcgwire, Bonds, A Rod are some just to name a few. You said yourself that the body is not designed to take all the vicious and brutal punishment from all that slashing, cutting, and banging. That combined with PED's can indeed make your body unequivocally more susceptible to a myriad of injuries. That is fact. Your muscles don't need to be as big as the pic you posted. They just need to be too strong for your tendons and ligaments. And remember this: An NBA players body ages faster because of all the wear and tear.

Strength training can destroy flexibility overtime if you bulk up and do not stretch. Certain exercises such as pilates make you more flexible. But if you don't use proper form when you lift heavy, that can make muscles get tight. When you put too much stress on yourself it does lead to inflexibility. That's why proper form is vital.

The euro step just invites awkward landing points for feet..and as a result, legs buckle to places they shouldn't

I wish Rose was actually on roids, so he would've healed properly from all those injuries last year.
Most PEDs have huge negative side effects for your health. Increased risk of injury is one of them.

Re: Are there more torn ACLs now?
I remember a comment Derrick Rose made after last season about stretching and flexibility. He said that he possibly could have prevented most of his injuries if he had been practicing proper stretching techniques. This could be something that the NBA would want to stress out to the teams, especially the ones that don't practice stretching and flexibility exercises enough.

Re: Are there more torn ACLs now?
I've read on another forum someone saying that it's because today the shoes have to much grip.
It could make sense, player plant their feet in some awkward way, and normally the foot would slip a little and now it doesn't.
Just look at Gallo's injury, he does a awkward hop step, and almost seems like his feet glues to the floor.

Re: Are there more torn ACLs now?
I hope that in the future we aren't asking, "Are there more broken legs resulting in exposed tibias now?"
Injuries just seem to be getting more and more frequent and devastating lately.
Could be human evolution. Our bodies are getting weaker.

Re: Are there more torn ACLs now?
Well I'm actually currently writing a research paper on this and I have quotes from professionals who say if the goal is to protect health, a PED regimen supervised by a medical professional is actually the safest option.
