Almost all the major pro sports have rules forbidding steroid use, though the effectiveness and enforcement of those rules are widely debated.
"No athlete should ever be made to feel compelled to use drugs, nor should such behavior become normalized, particularly when our youth are so influenced by the example set by their sports heroes," said Erin Hannan, spokesperson for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
Musburger, 71, was the top sports anchor on CBS through much of the 1980s but was fired in 1990. He made a comeback on ABC and ESPN and is the play-by-play man for the network's lead announcing team on college football. He has worked the last three BCS title games.
He said he doesn't trust journalists when they report about steroids.
"They come in with a negative view and they take it from there," he told the students.
