How is Anthony Joshua not on the roids?

See: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/caught-using-peds-life-ban.590855/

Steroids give you a lifelong bonus towards building muscle.

AJ used when he was young, now he may test clean, but still benefits.

And yeah, the idea he "naturally" attained that level of musculature given his dimensions is laughable.

 

If he is on HGH then he wont be testing positive.

 

Lmfao

 

It's a known fact that Africans are naturally very muscular and he just works hard. As a boxing fan I just can't see why everyone can't get behind the man who is becoming the new face of boxing and will bring a lot of money and eyes to the sport.

 

i think its laughable that a boxer has such low self esteem that he has to roid up

but I don't know if thats AJ. maybe he just has a genetic mutation that gives him muscles in places were not supposed to have muscles

 

He appears to be taking something..................

 

Why does every athlete in good shape get branded a PED cheat?

 

Most likely jealousy because they are out of shape and don't have it in them to put the effort in to get in shape....

 

You can be extremely ripped without steroids. It's about losing fat. If you mean muscular, then yeah, he looks on roids.

 

Some people just have the genes for it too...

 

he could get that big naturally, its not beyond the realms of possibility. when i was playing football for a professional club, a few of us were banned from gym sessions coz we put on too much muscle in just one session. hes a heavyweight boxer so he doesnt have to be limited in his muscle bulk. peoples bodies work differently.

 

Because the average person has never stepped into a gym consistently and seen the results that can happen. People judging any athlete based on physical appearance alone is misguided.

I mean how can Tyson Fury, James Toney, Wach, Teper all be on PED's but still have dad bods or be obese.

Joshua's physique is attainable with good genetics, the proper training and good nutrition. But is he clean? Probably not, I suspect any top athlete at the elite level.

 

I'm hugely muscular and I never took no ****ing roids.

Anyways, catch him first before convicting him.

 

Call me naive BUT is it not at all possible that a guy that trains as much as he does, lives the life for 80% of the year, constantly in the gym training, living clean and eating to bulk up with the right genetic profile who has been doing this for the last 7 or 8 years now can look like he does??

My brother is a professional rugby player he is build like a brick **** house and he gets tested regularly. He has been training towards his career since he was in his teens to get where he is and I know he hasn't taken anything ever.

He doesn't have the chiseled abs etc of AJ but you know with him he doesn't come from the stock, whereas I went to school with a lad who has African heritage shall we say and he hardly trained but was cut up all year round.
