    Oh I don't think Thurman woulda been clean. But like you said he agreed to it so in a way no one can argue. The problem is though that certain gear can have lifetime gains so in future fights they may well have been clean but reaping some benefits from previous cycles.

    Growth hormones for example a lot of lifetime gains to be had with that gear.

    Some people just flat out don't want to listen to the fact that manny's wrist have grown a fair bit whilst moving up in weights. Yes his bones grew just how does one achieve this?

    But we all know sport in general is rife with gwar so is there really any point in debating it.

    What I will give pac massive kudos for is his determination, motivation, skill level and commitment to keep going all this time. But don't sell me this bull that he ain't on anything.

    Thurman could have insisted on VADA but I reckon he wanted the help aswell since training has probably been tougher since the injury and setbacks since the injury.

    If I was to guess , I would say they were both on it and think most would agree.

    Well if you ain't on gear you insist on testing.

    They were both off their nuts. Would dread to think percentage are clean

    No different in saying the sky is blue imo. Those with any clue or insight thought the same. However the world is rife with it in sport

    To be fair Pac has been on the wrong end of the worst PED abuse ive ever seen when Marquez nearly killed him after getting in the best shape of his life at 40....

    Its no wonder he joined the club .....dont blame him
