The new trend is to scam poor guys, of course it will not be detectable because its creatine & pre-work out :good (The real T works best injected & should show up on any test, a good way to find out if you are using the real deal non pun intended) Legit HGH costs 100k/year for high dose or 20k/year minimal dose . An elite Heavyweight boxer goes through 100k/year of HGH, low dose is for boxers who want to improve their frame without giving up the weight or want to slowly move out the division Testosterone can be good for boxers at the lower weights (example Amir Khan going to 155 KTFO Canelo then moving down in a cutting cycle to 147 to KO Kell Brook), now that Amir Khan is done with 155 & 147, he decides to permanently move up to 154 & unify the division because he just feels too big & too strong for 147. Since his move to 154 will be long term & he has nothing to prove at 147, he will go with a high dose HGH & harden his bones for 154 (after HGH he will not be able to make 147 anymore), so Amir Khan cleans up 154 & becomes undisputed, he starts harassing GGG, so he takes a cycle of Testosterone just to move up 160 for that GGG fight, T makes him feel double the strength at 154, confident & electrifying he goes toe to toe with GGG scores couple of KDs & GGG corner throw the towel in RD 5 to save their fighter for another day. Amir Khan is done with 160, turns back to 154 to defend his belts (he can move back because he only used T for 160). Of course during all this gains & cutting he used combinations of PEDs to help with stamina & recovery & avoid needless (injury enticing) long work outs, with Stamina PEDs few reps of your favorite punches keeps the muscles fresh & conditioned.
As someone who actually works with elite athletes I can let you in on a little secret... The vast majority are not doping and never would. It's the media and the average person on the street who thinks it's common practice and that it makes all the difference between an average joe and an elite athlete. People just can't accept that they were born physically inferior to others.
If you think it is a testosterone issue get tested, but if are under 40 it shouldn't be that out of whack.
What a load of uneducated nonsense. Show me anything that indicates that HGH given exogenously can enhance muscle hypertrophy?
HGH is not exactly the best choice for Muscle hypertrophy, if you are a James Toney. HGH will make you a bigger version of James Toney, its strictly for proportionate Growth. An out of shape person, should start by dieting down to his six pack, before using HGH or any type of PED. If you can't diet down to your abs, there is no point of wasting $ on HGH or any PED, just continue the hedonistic lifestyle and satisfy your belly :conf
All Olympic level Athletes are genetically superior to the majority of humans. However, due to the highly competitive nature of sports, every little advantage counts, the advances in PEDs force all athletes or their teams to make sure they have every advantage possible. Using PEDs is not cheating, the drug testing business is the main source behind the Doping drama. If all athletes have overt access to PEDs, the drug testing industry will disappear. That's why a fair middle ground is allowing the Drug industry to continue to profit off athletes by requiring drug tests as a medical requirement, but without the bans & suspension dramas. Drug test companies main concern is getting paid & maintaining the status quo, they invested heavily in Drug tests, so it will be hard to just get rid of the drug tests...Mandatory Drug Tests for informational purposes are the way to go
All these ped drug cheats left and right and Tyson Fury is still the best fighter on the planet. Fury is 100 % drug free. Tyson Fury has been bred to be the perfect fighter for many generations. Like a race horse or pit bull being bred to race or fight to be honest
It's different in different countries, sadly. My buddy used to box amateurs, said he NEVER had to submit to testing. Boxing needs a commission, a single international one with a committee from different nations.
Of course most people are inferior but that doesn't mean anything to ELITE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES. They don't care about being superior to the average Joe, they are COMPETING against each other. For huge money, whole careers and livelihoods on the line, and life-changing accomplishments at stake. They take drugs, not to rise above the level of the average Joes, but to maintain their positions among the competitive elite. To cope with the training work load or lengthen their careers. Everything is at stake. The human race cannot buck scientific progress. Once a technology or a medicine or drug has been invented and used with proven results there is no going back. PEDs are just a component of the modern successful elite athlete. They are not everything, just a small but indispensable part.
The Drug testing organized blackmail industry needs to reform & quit being a regressive obstacle in the face of the progressive elements of humanity :nono Drug testing is a STRICTLY FOR PROFIT industry, so they need to get real & stop imposing themselves as some moral authority, defaming/blackmailing the elite athletes & the best specimen of humanity, instead they should use their accumulated knowledge to start switching to safe (recommended PEDs), continue their testing for informational services & justify their fees by providing more useful data, the first drug testing companies that reform & stop harrasing boxers will be the choice of the top Athletes who are tired of the blackmail & stress of dealing with masking & buying their way out. Corruption is well documented inside the labs, disgruntled former insiders can demolish the credibility of the Drug Testing companies, once elite Athletes are fully retired & no longer have anything to lose, of course as usual the arrogant/greedy companies think the blackmail can continue forever, or a simple change of labels will cover up everything, but deception works both ways & moral conscious people will expose their corruption whenever the promoters & $ power houses in boxing decide its time to expose corruption in & the Blackmail culture in the drug testing industry :smoke
I agree. The anti-doping sector is a monster, backed up by the hypocritical politics and a moral hysteria whipped up by the sensationalist media. Unfortunately they are so entrenched now they might carry this farce on for another few decades.
A guy in the gym claimed he fought on a card in Oklahoma & the doctor that gave pre & after fight medical checks was a DENTIST!!! The promotor said the usual doc was on vacation they had no one else to do it
