http://vada-testing.org/andre-ward/ Ward has to be clean according to numbskulls on this site. He's passed VADA thus far. Whereas Sergi has only competed two times. http://vada-testing.org/sergey-kovalev/ If I were a numbskull I'd say, why only 2X for Kovalev? Has he been cycling? LOL. That's the mentality of fans on this site.
i respect your view, I'm not looking to change your view. I just know my own experiences. The below stories are a true and honedt account I used to box in the NYC amateurs in early 2000's and tried to balance the rigor of working a full time job while training. For me, it was hard as hell so I found DHEA being sold OTC in one of the nutrition retail chains, hoping it would help. I was taking 25mg a few times a week and I started to get pimples on my arms, back and neck, So I had to reduce to 5mg per dosage. One day I was in the gym and one of the trainers/fighters had a bottle in his bag. We had an honest discussion about the pros and cons. The bacne was reason enough for me to stop but it was also shrinking my gonads at higher dosages. he didn't have those symptoms and said it made him feel great, so he continued. Since then, I've come across plenty of casual body builders who juice. For example, One day my gf invited her gay friend over the weekend as they were going to a concert. The dude needed to put his HGH bottles in my ****ing fridge. He showed me pics of b4 and after. This topic of substances in pro sports have been debated to death, so whenever i see a grown man getting bacne and refusing to do VADA - to me he's guilty. Other notable mentions Anthony Joshua - gains 20 lb of muscle after the olympics - Guilty Juan Marques - bacne vs pac - Guilty Floyd - TUE from USaDA - guilty Jessie Vargas - bacne - guilty shane mosley, RJJ, Tarver, Kid ghalan, james toney, holyfield, danny jacobs, lamont peterson....the list goes on and on...
A grainy photo of Andre Ward's back. It's the smoking gun. It's open and shut. It's like Errol Spence's nipples and Pacquiao's milkshakes. Who needs VADA when we have internet steroid experts who can measure testosterone levels (to 1 part in a million) by examining your back! Andre Ward makes it so easy for the internet steroid experts. He poses, shirt off, with his back to the camera. Doesn't he know that internet steroid experts can tell he's juicing? Why didn't Victor Conte tell Andre: "Hey Andre, beware, internet steroid experts will be able to tell what we're up to by examining your back texture with low-resolution imagery -- wear a tank top!" BoxingForum24 -- the moronic inferno...
unfortunately, your sarcasm still doesn't make the high level of PED usage in pro sports untrue. remember there are millions at stake. there is corruption in everything and boxing is no different
What about getting caught with IV bags and needles in your arm the night before a 450 million dollar fight? How does that rank in your opinion???
I agree that its somewhat suspicious he refuses the vada testing but that is hardly steroid acne, I get the same if I eat certain foods or sweat a lot
I belong to the 'everybody is juicing' club and I don't have a problem with athletes using PEDs. I just want to point out how funny it is that I know which posters are going to be up in arms about stuff like this depending on the boxer in questions race or nationality. Everyone jumping all over Ward in this instance would be leaping to the defence of Kovalev if it was about him, But if it was Kovalev those same accusers would be playing the whole thing down whereas the Ward defenders would have the pitchforks at the ready.
This guy just ethered this whole pathetic pre-fight excuse thread and he brings attention to a peculiar observation concerning Kovalev doping. Same ****, different day on ESB. This content is protected
Ward haters are reaching with this ****. Ward's back looks nothing like the back of Vargas or Marquez, in terms of the backne
