But he was the top of the pops though. The dopier cyclists were being caught fairly regularly. I have no doubt the vast majority of top class athletes are on something or other. Like tdf says, these humans are performing super human feats. It's particularly objectionable in boxing though when it can lead to serious permanent damage being inflicted.
Some here using the same cop-out Lance fans used when he finally came clean. "they're all on something" And even if that were true, there are a lot of "somethings" and a lot of levels of using. That Awad guy was caught on an actual steroid, wich the NSAC just upped the ban for to 3 years and 50 to 70% of the fighter's purse, with 4 year at a 2nd offence and 75 to 100% of the purse taken away. It's cheating in the worst way, and they should deal with it in a harsh way too.
It's not a cop out it's reality. Drugs have always been in sport and always will be. It cannot be 'dealt with'. All that can happen is naive fans like yourself (no disrespect) can be appeased by the PR machine of the sport so the money merry go round can continue. :good
skeptics should google 'Angel Heredia '....there is more than enough on him alone to tell you what you need to know about PEDs in sport
Thank god he comes from a straight stable i mean there is no evidence that none of the Ingles other fighters are on it, right ?
The man was caught cheating ffs, open your ****ing eyes man, how can anyone defend these scumbags is beyond me !
i'm in decent shape as an active athlete who uses sports science to keep myself going, and my 43 year old body doesn't look like ggg's! weird claim all round, really, what sort of athlete would use peds to age his body?
there are various forms of PEDs that do various things ....some take a while to take effect and stay in your system a long time and some are the complete opposite ... for instance ,i had really bad tendonitis in my elbow for almost 2 years ..i went down the LEGIT route of docs/physio etc etc and ended up having 6 injections deep into my elbow tendon!theses all basically failed and i was referred for an operation ...meanwhile i decided to self medicate with something called NANDRALONE which cured me....after 2 years and god knows how much NHS time and money wasted which failed , 2 simple non legit bottles of 'PEDS' cured me...for under 80 quid if i was a pro sportsman i would be classed as a drugs cheat /scumbag etc etc ....people are quick to demonize things that they dont understand and go along with the majority view but imo if you are interested in high level sport you need to educate yourself on PEDs
