Did Evander Holyfield take PEDs

Including Evander. Original argument done. You took us full circle, with a little help...

 

Prove it.

 

A top boxer is an asset to the promoters/managers/trainers and could potentially be worth 10s of millions if they keep winning. When this is considered I would be amazed if any top boxers would be allowed by their team to NOT take PEDS.

If you want to be in the 100M Olympic sprint final then it is not going to happen unless you do what everyone else is doing. If you want to be a contender in boxing then unfortunately the same rule applies.

 

Of course he did. He went from a normally built cruiserweight to the incredible Hulk in a relatively short period of time. Let's not be delusional here.

 

I am pretty sure George Foreman didn't take anything.

 

For the people who say "But Holyfield never tested positive for anything". Great, neither did Tommy Morrison but he admitted to being on steroids. So logic would dictate that either they didn't test for PEDs back then or the test were easy to pass.

 

This is the post of the thread. It can be closed.

There is no doubt to anyone that Evan Fields took PEDs.

 

Yes

 

Prove it.

 

Yes, but especially at heavyweight most are. Anobolic steriods have been around a long time. It’s possible athletes in the 50s were using steroids and hgh it was around then and who knows what else.

Any boxer with a lot of muscle mass I would think are using peds. The kind of training you have to do to box 12 rounds in general is not going to make you look much like a body builder. Wladimir, Aj, Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Ibeabuchi, Tua and many others they all used peds but had some of the best genetics also.

The only thing is some boxers that are genetically somewhat normal may be super elite on peds because genetically they are great responders to the peds, this is a real thing. Boxer A could have the better genetics and be more of a beast off peds then boxer B. But boxer B on Peds may be more of a beast then boxer A if they both use the same peds.

 

Retired due to heart problems...that miraculously disappeared and then came back 100% heart healthy.

Evan Fields.

 

On February 28, 2007, Holyfield was anonymously linked to Applied Pharmacy Services, a pharmacy in Alabama that is currently under investigation for supplying athletes with illegal steroids and human growth hormone (HGH). He denies ever using performance enhancers.

Holyfield's name does not appear in the law enforcement documents reviewed. However, a patient by the name of "Evan Fields" caught investigators' attention. "Fields" shares the same birth date as Holyfield—October 19, 1962. The listed address for "Fields" was 794 Evander, Fairfield, Ga. 30213. Holyfield has a very similar address. When the phone number that, according to the documents, was associated with the "Fields" prescription, was dialed, Holyfield answered.

 

Chances are high but boxing is a skill based sport, 100 m and Florence Griffith Joyner, that's another story

 

It's as close to being proven as you can get without having a picture of him shooting HGH into a vein.

 

In other words it s not proven.

at all.
