    True, but to be honest it's easy to through mud in hope that it sticks, at the same time you just have to look at the scandal of the Jamaican athletics anti doping commission.....The way the industry see's it, there's too much money to lose by exposing these fraudster for what they really are.

    From a couple years back...


    First, the best experts in the field report there is no good test for HGH. At present, there is no urine test that works. And Dr. Don H. Caitlin, head of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Lab and for many years one of the most knowledgeable experts in the area - possibly the most knowledgeable – has stated that he believes blood testing is impractical. He points out that, out of 1,500 blood tests, only one came back positive for HGH despite a well-founded suspicion that HGH use is far more prevalent. In part, this is because the detection limit is short, about 24 hours. In other words, the athlete would have had to use HGH within approximately 24 hours of the test to actually be caught.

    Further, the one athlete who was “busted” for HGH after testing admitted to use. Many scientists do not believe that, if it came to proving the scientific validity of the WADA drug testing protocols for HGH in Court or before an arbitrator, the results would survive legal challenge based upon scientific validity. Dr. Peter Sonksen, a pioneer in the field of HGH testing, says “There’s very little new [data verifying the WADA test], and I think it would be quite easy for a lawyer to draw “cart and horses through it in Court.” This charge is echoed by epidemiologist Dr. Charles E. Yesalis of Penn State, who contends that the scientific data to back the testing protocols is insufficient to the point of being “almost criminal.”

    Dr. Caitlin has said flatly that the method of testing used by WADA “alone doesn’t work. It’s political. The whole thing is political.”

    Further, anyone who has ever been involved in Olympic style testing knows its flaws and limitations. Blood tests, if done randomly, are exceedingly infrequent. Athletes who are subject to in-and-out-of-competition testing go years with no blood tests (though urine testing is another matter).

    Further, unannounced Olympic-style testing involves a level of intrusion that few professional athletes can or would countenance. As an example, spur of the moment activities must be reported to WADA, according to the rules, 24 hours in advance. If an athlete decides to go to the shore on a sunny day, to go to assist a friend, or any of the plethora of activities of which we all partake every week, it must be reported to WADA in advance. This is tough enough to do with college athletes, more or less captive on campuses and virtually impossible with professionals with normal lives. In recognition of its difficulty, athletes are permitted to miss three tests due to unavailability before action is taken. That brings us right back to the testing protocols. If HGH is detectable for only 24 hours, all an athlete needs to do is to arrange to be unavailable for testing the following day. Chances are overwhelmingly small that any test will be taken the following day. But if one is to be taken, the athlete can simply make himself unavailable that day without penalty.

    Why ??? lol

    Thats completely irrelevent

    Unless you're foolish enough to think that sportmen who committed crimes when they were kids are more likely to use performance enhancing drugs ??

    This is true with Carribbeans or African Americans but Joshuas parents are Nigerian and not descended from enslaved people

    You're right tho, his physique is perfectly achievable without steroid use, not surprised a bunch of overweight internet slobs are quick to point the finger :deal

    It's not so much about whether his physique is achievable without steroids, as it is about drug use in pro sport generally, genetics etc. :good

    IDK man. If that's the case why is this thread singling out Joshua and asking if his physique looks natural?
