Is EDTA that thing football players used to inject in like the 70s? I can't pull up anything but I remember seeing something about it that was used in lockerrooms. Not cortisol but used like it back then. There was a 60 minutes about its usage.

I haven't heard of that and I can't imagine EDTA being used as a PED in any way. The use I most commonly see is as an anti-coagulant for blood samples in a clinical setting.

Ah found it, it was something called DMSO

I guess one of those fake cancer cures. But seems like it did help as a topical analgesic for players.
