atsch atsch atsch I can tell by your post, that you're an idiot. I know guys who are 40-years old, have a regular day job, and are ripped to shreds. And I know they aren't taking anything illegal. They've just maintained a healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, etc...since their teenage years. And, there is a genetic element here that definitely plays a part (although not as much as hard work, eating right, etc...).
:deal Here's Wlad about a week ago...he's been outside swimming. He's not in camp, he's just enjoying himself. The fact that the things he enjoys doing, also happen to include physical activity, this is another key to what keeps him in shape. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/525698_446515902107077_765839961_n.jpg
he doesn't have any of the signs of PED use/abuse such as gynecomastia (which several fighters have noticeable cases of :think) acne, distended stomach, hair loss, or anything else for that matter. When you have low bodyfat you are going to be able to see someones veins that isn't a sign of PED use :rofl
Well Vitali is a proven PED user and Wlad is now ducking a test. Its too early to say for sure but a refusal to accept the compromise is unacceptable.
Not ALL PEDS will cause those things and it also depends on genetic profile of the user. Wlad is suspect but not yet confirmed.
With the criteria you use to "suspect" someone, everyone in the entire world that is not a couch potato is also a suspect. It's silly, just say anyone who does not resemble a giant blob of goo is suspected of using.
I swear most of you guys have to be kids. From an adult businessman's perspective, Wlad should be hesitant considering all the facts involved. A grossly high purse bid, a country with a shady boxing history, etc...
A couch potato wont refuse a test. He is actively doing something to create suspicion i.e. possibly walking away from his biggest payday unless its the german agency that does the test. I look pretty ripped and i dont use "peds" or do much work ..... hence my comment on genes.
Guilty until proven innocent But the sport is dodgy - a strong ref and good testing is required for this fight. All must be above board and be seen to be clean.
