it is not semantics. you harp on the 1lb a year theory. the flip side of that is 25 lbs of muscle in 4 years 84-88. whether he juiced or not i don't know nor do i care. but just like those who are qick to incriminate, some are quick to blindly defend. there is a shitload of circumstantial evidence against him. and with the allegation of the telephone number which he allegedly answered, the address, evan fields. if it looks lik a duck, walks like a duck quacks like a duck, it ain't a cat
I was always a Holyfield fan but have to admit he did probably (99%) use them. There is no test for HGH Zakman, you just have to trust the federal authorities on this one. I'll take their word over Evander's anyday. :-(
If you dont think Holyfield took Steroids you must be born under a rock, and what does bodybuilding have to with boxing anyway. I personally dont care if he took them or not, and yes he was a fighter that had to maintain wieght most of his career. It seems you have some Roid rage yourself responding to peoples post, let me guess your a huge fan of Shane Mosely that kinda says it all doesnt it.:yep
Indeed. And the investigation was never out to prove that Holyfield did in fact use roids, it was against the company that sold them. So the fact that Holy's name came up and they found out that he did in fact purchase all this sh*t, proves that he took (or at least bought...which means took :-() HGH. The only point of debate I see is whether or not "Evan Fields" was Holyfield...and if you read Slothrop's article, I'd say there's a 99% chance that this was so, and therefore, that Holyfield used. This would definitely be "beyond reasonable doubt" in a courtroom, however as I said the investigation was never against Holyfield himself, so nobody pressed the issue.
22, Like I said I could care less who uses steroids and now its become a big part of every sport. I know you like Holyfield but theres more evidence against him using steroids than not, its time you take off the blinders and realize most top athletes do probably use some form of a steroid to increase there performance level in some way or another.
Reading that Sports Illustrated article I would say definately he took HGH! In fact i always thought he had juiced up anyway as he did seem to bulk up to heavyweight with pure ripped muscle. Not merely a fat crusierweight was Holy! Still, i dont really care as I think in the heavyweight division they're all on it. Tyson certainly was. Lennox seemed to put on some weight under manny...maybe he was just getting older hey? :yep I'm not so sure. Tommy Morrison? The Klitschkos? James fat Tony? Defo!!! C'mon heavyweights are all juiced up.
nice to see you pick and choose the part of posts to prove your points. why not address the points made in the s i article.
365 for a guy of 220 is not that great or difficult to do without steriods, however i do think evander juiced to bulk up against the bigger heavyweights. The guy saying lewis was on the juice is just stupid, of course he got bigger as time went on, he was 6'5 and very lean at the start of his career, most people of that build do not fully fill out till there late 20's and early 30's.
It isn't a small amount but there are people that weigh alot less than 220 than post post 10 reps of 365 so i don't think it's unrealistic.
