Too many men with too many players on the court. Under no circumstance can any player or coach be ejected on a technical foul caused by too many players. In gridiron football, if a team has more than the allowed number of players on the field during a play (eleven in America, twelve in Canada), the offending team is penalized five (American) or ten (Canadian) yards for "too many men on the field" (also called "twelve/thirteen men on the field"). This is usually the result of an improper substitution. The 2009 Grey Cup game in the CFL was decided on a too-many-men call.
Steroid use in American football approximately 20 percent of the players on a football team to test on a specific day. Anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are also used throughout high school football. Steroid use at this level of play doubled from 1991 to 2003, with results of a survey showing that about 6 percent of players out of the 15,000 surveyed had admitted to using some type of anabolic steroid or performance-enhancing drug at one point in their playing time. Other data shows that only 4 percent of high schools have some form of drug testing program in place for their football teams.
