I give ALL fighters the benefit of the doubt when it comes to PED's, until they test positive then I have to believe they are clean. Anyway, that picture has been doing the rounds today, Quite a few have sent me it saying "look how small he looks", "look at his stomach, where's the bulging gut and ripped six pack" and other messages like that. Now I'm not suggesting anything but even I had to admit he looks very different from other pictures.
It's called cycling. He's off the gear at this stage, can't afford to chance it with so much extra scrutiny. Wlad's people will ensure that Joshua is getting proper random testing. Not random/informed testing.
Compare the above image to this [url]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/09/11/16/2C2F284C00000578-0-image-m-87_1441986501458.jpg[/url]
FFS yes lets compare pics of him at the weigh ins of one of his fights to him sat on a sun Lounger sat up on his phone completely relaxed! I'm sure if he stood up and tensed his muscles he would look the same as normal.
Don't get me wrong I am very suspicious about aj, his physique is ridiculous but some people do have insane genetics. Plus he lives the athletes life correctly. Comparing this pic to other pics is clutching at straws however.
Most European fighters are on the juice. That is the only way they can compete against us Americans. Their PED test aren't as strict as ours. Joshua and Wlad could and probably are still on something.
