Canadian football player Jordan Matechuk pleads guilty .

Canadian football player Jordan Matechuk has pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana following his May 31 arrest at the U.S.-Canada border.

The steroid count is a felony with a maximum sentence of two years, and the marijuana count is a misdemeanor with a one-year maximum. Prosecutor Brian Peppler says he's not sure when Matechuk will be sentenced, but as far as he's concerned, the case is now closed.

Matechuk was a long snapper for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. They released him in early June, after U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced his arrest at the International Bridge border crossing.

  1. Why do athletes continue to use steroids? Aren't steroids extremely bad for you over the long run and aren't there natural alternatives that can give the same/better results?
