The chart above is based on suspensions from the 2015 season in each of the respective organizations.

Over 100 players were suspended by the MLB for performance enhancing drugs; some of those 100 players included players on minor league teams affiliated with the MLB team. It still seems that the MLB still has a problem with PEDs within its sport. Players who use PEDs continue to hurt the sport that has had a damaged reputation of its players cheating and using PEDs.

The NFL had a little over 20 players suspended for PEDs last season. It is not very bad in the aspect of how many NFL players are in the league.
