    I've used it before and many others ,injectable and orals ...
    Proviron is widely used by females safely and low doses of anavar

    Laughable thing about drugs bans and drugs cheats is that is little to no deterrent because for the duration of the ban/inactivity there's no testing.

    It means someone like benn whose been out 12 months can literally run a 12 month cycle, build up body mass etc as if he's about to fight and then drop off the shite and rejoin the program when he's ready to box/clean. You see it all the time they come back after tike off and have an increased level for 2 or 3 fights then drop back to their previous level and we are told its all to do with desire.

    We aren't going to get drugs out of boxing unless we have year round 24/7 testing like athletics and let's be honest that's not going to happen and even then they get round it.

    If you want an idea of how easy it is to cheat watch the salazaar documentary.

    Yep Mo Farah the cheating prk. Can't stand that guy. How he got away with it, I'll never know. Every time a new revelation/allegation came out, he literally started to cry and got all defensive.

    Whenever this subject comes up I'm always baffled at how naive the general public are about drugs in sport...the majority seem to think still that it's 1 or 2 bad apples that give everyone a bad name when in fact its the total opposite...
    All the info and evidence is out there if people could be bothered looking however it seems most boxing fans out there get their info from Hearns 40 youtube interviews a week

    Hearn is saying Dillian Whyte's boxing licence isn't with the BBBoC, and that he's no idea who can investigate his drug test failure issue. 10 mins of googling hasn't got me anywhere, anyone know where it's from and any history of that ? I'm wondering if the legal technicalities with Benn might be more related to the "lack of BBBoC licence" than whether UKAD can act on VADA tests? I dunno.

    No, banned athletes can still be tested. Dunno if that still applies to Benn though, whilst he has no BBBoC licence. He certainly still seem to avail himself of BBBoC licenced trainers etc. which I don't think you can under a proper ban.

    The testing whilst banned is at the bottom of this page.

    https://www.ukad.org.uk/violations/...iduals serving a ban must,or all of their ban.

    I know someone who works as an agent (lower leagues) and they reckon there are quite a few failures at PL level but the league are happy for them to be hidden as 'injuries' as it would damage the brand.

    He said both Liverpool and United have had a high profile one since covid (this was late last year). No idea how true this is but it wouldn't surprise me.

    Without doubt ...however top class football have unlimited funds and will have the very best of doctors/chemists...also its very strange how many players of certain clubs have seemed to develope asthma ,its sky high compared with general public

    During 90s loads of players got done in Italy for nandralone

    Is he not licensed in Portugal now, since he moved the training camp out there?

    Thanks. Yes he is. I wonder if that will turn out to be quite convenient.
    Thank you, yes he is.

    Another google search teases the following in the "preview" bit of the search .....

    "In addition Whyte has a Portuguese licence and boxing has no unified global body to mete out ..."

    I don't have a subscription to The Times so can't provide any more, but I've put the link at the bottom if anyone else does.

    Even if the UKAD/BBBoC appeal succeeds and the case proceeds.... I really, really want to know the actual substance of the "Benn clearance" bit ;)

    Some are so obvious though

    Farah was not that good, took drugs winning everyweek
    Benn goes from poor with no power to absolutely ripped and knockout power
    Joshua, Whyte etc on trips to Dubai and Portugal where they are harder to track
    Armstrong, gets cancer then somehow wins, because that's normal...
    GB cycling
    Prem like Troaore
    Bayern the other year during covid, every player putting on kgs of pure muscle
