Why do pro cyclists take steroids if it doesn't boost endurance?

Senya, use your common sense.
How does a guy go from 175 to 193 without any apparent speed loss, and carrying not an ounce of extra bodyfat? Jones started his career as a jnr. Middleweight for heaven's sake. That's 154 lbs.
Okay, perhapes he was still growing a bit. He probably matured at around 160 or so.
Now, he puts on an extra 33 lbs. of pure muscle with no speed or stamina loss. If Jones had gotten to 193 looking decidedly fleshier and carrying some extra muscle I could believe he had bulked up by using weights alone.
But that super ripped, muscular phenom that fought Ruiz? Nah, sorry. His walk around weight must have been close to 215 lbs.

Who is talking about John Ruiz fight? The positive test A happened in May 2000, after RJJ - Richard Hall fight. Jones never tested positive for any banned substances before or after this fight, including the John Ruiz fight. How did he get to 193? The answer is [URL=***********.mackieshilstone.com/]on this site[/URL].

What are your thoughts about the Ruiz fight? Was Jones clean or not?

Mackie Shilstone is too well-known figure (since 1980s when he helped Michael Spinks win the title from Holmes) to use banned substances without anyone learning about it.
