    2012 - 220
    2015 - 249 1/2

    So you are correct, not quite 30lb.

    The difference from Joshua when he was in the 220s to the 240s looks like the difference between someone cutting and bulking.

    Bot a fan of the bodybuilder and I think he's juicing but I don't think his physique is a dead give away and I don't think he's on anabolic steroids anyway.

    If he is using PEDs he needs to fire his advisors. Putting on a "scientifically impossible" amount of muscle is a pretty big giveaway. It's the equivalent of a tax dodger driving around in a brand new top of the line Mercedes, hooting his horn each time he goes past the Inland Revenue office.

    Or it could all just be conjecture from internet weirdos who are convinced nobody can accomplish anything without cheating.

    He does love his overseas training camps. Does he only train with McCracken for 12 weeks before the fight when he signs up to testing?

    These are only articles from Whyte and Miller, so i hold my hands up I have no concrete evidence. I just know haha I know they all are. But a lot of English pro's also say it about Joshua and i don't think its jealousy. I know how hard it is for heavyweights to put up muscle that quick. And like some chap said above I know its possible, but not for a boxer. You cant possibly train a boxing session everyday (bags, pads, floorwork, sparring etc) and build that much muscle with out help. Its barely possible for a body builder. I really want Joshua to be clean but he just isn't. None of them are. They are all using PED's which makes it fair but it still doesnt make it right

    You'd have to be blessed with incredible genetics to put on 5LB of lean muscle naturally in a year, let alone 30LB's over 3 years for an Olympic calibre athlete.

    It is but these guys all know that each other are juicing. If Lance Armstrong could hide it for 20 years when revenue generated was much less than Joshua then I'm certain Joshua can hide it when testing regulations are less strict. In cycling these guys get lifetime bans whilst pro boxers get 6 months maybe and their character intact. Look at Canelo for instance, drugged out of his mind, fails a test, blames burgers and then lands a contract worth about 300 million

    Hearing the arguments for Bolt being clean are hilarious, people like to ignore the fact that the fastest 100m times in history have all been run by sprinters that have been popped...apart from Bolt, because drug testing is fool proof apparently.

    The best one is Gatlin though...running faster times in his mid 30s and supposedly clean than when he was in his physical prime + juiced to the gills. “He passed the tests though”...

    Anyway athletics is slightly off topic but just shows that passing tests doesn’t make someone above suspicion, as you say the evidence that an athlete is almost definitely juicing is literally just the fact they are an elite sportsmen.

    That's ignoring a massive drug cheat Usain Bolt, who was beating Gatilin and co who were pumping PEDs for fun, yet supposedly Bolt was clean, right.....

    I didn’t ignore it? You’ve just removed the part of my post where I said usain bolt is obviously using PEDs...
