A lot of illegal medical enhancers can be masked as long as you're not tested within three days of using it. The chemicals in your body will be indistinguishable from the ones your body naturally produces. Medical science has come a long way, and the best and the brightest aren't the ones doing the testing...they're the ones supplying the athletes, such as doctor Fuentes and doctor Ferrari.
Great post - very imformative. Everything in moderation though - I'm sure you could use low doses of performance enhancing drugs without any major side effects? Of course, it's easy to slide from 'use' to 'abuse' so perhaps just best to stay away altogether.
2smart4u, dude you are sooooo special ed., $50 says you rode the short bus to school. I bet if you looked up stupid in the dictionary there would be a picture of you. Dude what's with hate for Holyfield?? No arrest, no investigation (involving Holy), no proof SFB! Also, not another word has been spoken about it in the media since it first came out months ago?? You got nothing but a pencil dick in your hands, so you and all the punk ass bee-atchs quick acusing Holyfield of something you can't prove! But like I said earlier you can't help it your a little slow.
Its great when MORONS like this accuse other people of being stupid ! listen pal if it quacks like a duck and looks like a DUCK while floating around the local pond its MOST LIKELY A DUCK ! In this case HOLY is the DUCK ! a DUCK on STEROIDS ! :deal :yep
I would not be shocked if positive proof came out about Holyfield using roids. I would also not be shcoked if positive proof came out about Shannon Briggs using the juice. Of course, niether man has failed a drug test yet. Personally, I'm inclined to think that Holyfield did and does use some sort of steroids and or HGH. The man is in his 40's and he still looks as good as he did when he was in his 20's. He always looks tight and ripped, and his waist is so tiny. Usually a thin person with that small of a waist has to "bulk up" to keep their muscles. When they are bulking up they also gain some fat. I've never seen Holyfield look anything but shredded, big and muscular. Of course that is all meer speculation. Holyfield has had many years of training and it is entirley possible that he has naturally grown into that muscular frame. There is also the fact that we are talking about an exceptional case. The man was heavyweight champion of the world, he's an outlier. He's not the random kid we see at the gym who is trying to build mass. Perhaps he simply has the genes to pack on and keep that muscle very easily. I think he desreves the benefit of the doubt. He has never failed a drug test, so we should not condemn the man as a roid cheater. We should condemn him as a cronic headbutter, but not as a roid abuser unless some proof comes in.
Zak if you've ever been near a gym, or done any amount of bodybuilding you would know that Holyfield juices. It's that simple. And testing boxers after a fight doesn't mean dick, because the main benefits are recouperative with respect to training. He just stops taking them long enough before the fight to make sure they are out. Either that or he takes types of steriods they can't test. But hey, this isn't a hate post about Holyfield, I like the guy, but like a couple of people pointed out, the big money is in heavy and that's where he wanted to be. I don't blame him for that, neither do I think it helped him win fights, outside of him being able to train a lot harder for the fight. It didn't give him additional skills or a bigger heart he possessed those qualities with or without steriods. Next you'll be saying Bonds never done them, even though he's 30-40lbs of muscle, heavier now then he was when he was younger. Past 30 people don't add that kind of muscle naturally. As for Briggs, that's a no brainer. I'd bet my house on him having used steriods.
all i know is that when Roy Jones went up to 200+ out of ****ing no where to fight John Ruiz...he had to have used something..that **** was INSANE the kind of muscle mass he put on.
