    TDF, having to use Viagra because your little pecker fails to be aroused by your morbidly obese missus isn't anything to do with PEDs.

    I don't buy the spiked shake excuse for a minute, but for kicks and giggles -- what does 'winnie' taste like? If someone did spike your drink with it, would it taste different?

    What does it look like? Powder, liquid, etc.?

    And sorry some of us don't study chemistry or haven't educated ourselves on various PEDs as it's not (in my case) part of my life that I have any need to know about, but as it's come up can someone give a description of exactly what it is, how it works, etc.?

    He was promoted by Mick Hennesey. Froch used to be promoted by him too and was anonymous from 2003-2008 also.

    you would be amazed how many blokes in your local gyms are on 'vitamins'...i have dabbled in most 'vitamins'

    i would imagine a lot of people who get all offended by hearing top sportsmen are using Peds would also be amazed that they probably know people personally using them almost recreationally...

    'winny' are tiny tablets which i have never crushed and tasted ,
    'winny' is also a kind of chalky liquid which is injected and also obviously never tasted....

    it does not however stay in your system long so anybody getting caught would really be quite foolish as they would have to be tested within a couple of days 'juicing'

    i suppose KG crazy excuse is however unlikely still possible though..in the same way anybody can have a drink spiked

    All seems very odd.

    If true, then what a waste.

    Every now and then the PR machine of the sport involved has to throw up a sacrificial lamb to reinforce the fairytale that the mug punters and sponsors require in order to keep feeding the cash cow. The spin is that the sport's really very clean and this sort of thing is rare and must be stamped out by stringent drug testing. Yeah riiight. :hey

    I assume Floyd threw everything at stopping Pac using his usual. Would the tests he stipulated have stopped Pac using this winny stuff?

    Sugar Shane has admitted taking PEDs but he had far better advice/chemist....nobody seems to tar him with the stigma of juicing?

    Pac would need more than winny to beat Floyd...Winny is not the blue print to beat Floyd hahah...Pac would have needed every PED going just to get a draw..

    this is why i am always surprised about peoples reactions to PEDs in sport...if it was as easy as popping a few pills we would all be World Champions

    C'mon Billy. Sounds to me like he was desperate to win and looking for an edge. His 'excuse' for how it got into his system is terrible.

    I think lots of others are at it too. Boxing really needs to up its game on the testing front.

    Youre very cynical Sugar! :lol: Where's your faith in human nature?

    Seriously - how was he caught? Are all registered pros randomly tested as a matter of course these days?
    Or was he just unlucky to be singled out for some reason etc?
