A University of Waterloo football player recently found with a stash of performance-enhancing drugs has been charged with possession and the intent to traffic.
Nathan Zettler, a 23-year-old defensive back from Waterloo, was charged after police discovered a large amount of anabolic steroids, including nandrolone, stanozolol and testosterone, two weeks ago.
The Kitchener Record, in a Liz Montero article, has reported Zettler faces additional charges “including five counts of breaking and entering, possession of stolen property, use of a stolen credit card and breaching a probation order.”
Two others were charged with Zettler, who was banned from the Waterloo campus when the police began their investigation weeks ago. Matthew Valeriote has also been charged and suspended from the football team. A third individual, Eric Legare, was charged as well. Legare was a former high school teammate of Zettler’s.
Waterloo officials and the university itself opted to drug test the entire Warrior football team when informed of the initial findings by police.
Athletes at two other CIS schools were tested as well...
Zettler is due back in court next Wednesday.
CTV's Melissa Durrell has been with the story from the beginning...
David Imrie was on campus for the normally-anticipated student/university reaction piece to complete team coverage...

The previous comment was laughable at best. How can it be child endangerment when all of the individuals are adults? This had nothing to do with the coaching staff. It is not the coaches responsibility to somehow test each player on his team. All of the individuals involved are adults and are responsible for their own choices. Stop blaming other people for dumb choices
