    Gynecomastia is a side effect of Klinefelter Syndrome or XXY which many Transgender and intersexed people suffer from, it basically means you're a guy whose born with a full set of female chromosomes and one guy chromosome, and often times they're infertile, which isn't the case with Errol since he just had a kid. It also occurs with people who have Aromatase excess syndrome its a rare genetic disorder in which boys are born with far too much estrogen and they usually look very feminine, but since Errol doesn't look all that girly I'm assuming that isn't the case.

    Testicular and pituitary gland tumors can cause it because of the effects it has on the hormones, but since Errol I'm assuming has past all of his physicals it rules that theory out.

    Oh yeah and then there's the other cause Steroid Abuse.....because most anabolic steroids are testosterone derived and they convert to estrogen in the body due to the aromatase process through the aromatase enzyme. That causes excess estrogen to build up in the body and it binds to the receptors in the pectorals causing said ***** tits.

    I think we have our answer.:deal

    Errol needs some Arimadex.

    I have been before, and contrary to media scaremongering I didn't get angry, my **** didn't drop off, my organs are fine (liver is the only thing affected by orals) but you're probably thinking of growth hormone, which is in fact something completely different. Doesn't hurt to get educated on a subject before speaking about it mate :good

    Or like lots of guys he got it in ****rty and like a small minority of unfortunate people it didn't go away naturally.

    But considering most top athletes are on something I'm inclined to agree with you.

    Hes 100% on roids
    If you take test with no aromatase inhibitor you can get gyno which makes your nipples puffy
    Most people take AI as soon as they see the effects of gyno
    He obviously didnt

    Some closet lady boys in here. They want to disquise their deep appreciation for the male physique with big words and steroid accusations. [emoji57]

    Hundreds of thousands of people are on steroids or have done them. An absurdly small number have carried out anything homicidal, which is undoubtedly multi-factoral and not the result of solely AAS use.

    The reason Benoit did that was because he was suffering from CTE and had the brain of an 80 year old Alzheimer patient due to the fact that his finishing maneuver was the swan dive headbutt that he used for almost 2 decades, and yes it looks as bad as it sounds.

    Here's an example.:verysad

    Mild cases of gynecomastia is a very common phenomena. It's not a direct indicator of steroid use by any means. People seriously need to stop with this nonsense.

    Jesus wept.
    Gynecomastia is the growth of male mammary gland tissue located beneath the nipple. It is not connected or extended to the entire pec, it's small tissue of rubber-like texture that grows when there is an androgen-estrogen imbalance and excess estrogen attaches to the gland receptors. In worst cases, it grows to the size of something that would still not be large enough to occupy your entire hand.

    What you're thinking of is excess fat associated with gyno (highly elevated estrogen can lead to fat gain in that area) and excess fluid build up from prolactin (estrogen and prolactin often go hand in hand).

    Spence has clear gyno, it's protruding from that specific area but he doesn't have the associated fat build up for obvious reasons. He has enlarged tissue likely from a skewed androgen-estrogen ratio more than probably caused by Testosterone use or Test precursor - prohormone use once upon a time (excess test gets converted to estrogen).
    He would have resolved that but once the tissue grows, only way to get rid is surgery (it can be shrunk however with aromotase inhibitors and SERMs but will always be there).

    Ref - I'm a bodybuilder.

    That's very true mate but gyno caused by an endogenous hormone imbalance is usually correlated with body fat % and physique composition also.
    Someone who develops gyno naturally is likely to be or has been overweight which impacts estrogen levels.
    Rare to see a fit person with low bodyfat % develop gyno naturally, even during pub erty

    We aren't medics to diagnose that, certainly not by merely looking at photos online anyway. That's as absurd as saying "His head is too big he must be on PEDs".

    A decade of seeing competitive bodybuilders suffer from AAS-induced gyno as well as suffering it myself in the past means I'm confident in my opinion. But it's an opinion after all, a fit and lean athlete developing mammary gland growth to the extent he has in a sport notorious for PED use?
    logical conclusion really.
    Its unbelievably common among AAS users, not sure how you can compare it to a PED myth in head growth!
