    I also believe abusing the gear was the reason behind some of his poor performances. In the first Moorer fight he was gassed very early on. Fcuk a course up and it becomes a hindrance.

    Of COURSE Lance Pharmstrong was a cheat.

    1) It does not matter how many use, like how many steal in a riot, if you break the rules for an advantage, you are a cheat. And if you deny it a liar too.

    2) Nobody is providing any good evidence nor reasoning to say with any certainly how many or what % cheated when.

    3) I do agree that if it is LEGAL then it is not cheating. Though I am very against their use, & their are big health risks, & it seems an unfair advantage...If not banned, it is not technically cheating.

    4) Pharmstrong was particularly abusive & criminal & hypocritical. Why?
    He fiercely denied all accusations. He organized things, + pushed & bullied others to participate in a doping program & would crush anyone who threatened the odious system.

    5) Evander was 12 lbs. heavier for the rematch with Bowe. He was still very lean.
    His weight itself was not suspicious-a prototypical prime Tyson weight of 217, while being taller.
    But that muscle was still all on his upper body, especially where (due to more receptors for them) 'roids bulk you up at the top: neck, traps & shoulders.

    Random thought: Bowe at 246 looked too fat even there. At 6'5" Lewis & many others might not be heavy at that weight-but Bowe carried less muscle than them.

    I can recall Holyfield stating Tyson looked gob smacked when he took off his shirt and revealed his physique.

    Tyson demanded a steroid test and Holyfield obliged, he wouldnt allow the results to come out though until after the fight as he knew it had Tyson in a panic.

    Holyfield passed the test and he was likely being honest when he said he didn't take steroids. There's more evidence to suggest he took HGH and correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they tested for that back then.

    To me it looks like he was did a poor course as he seems bloated in the face and was gassed badly early on. Now you've brought the baldness up that contradicts his supposed HGH abuse as HGH is more likely to cause hair growth I should imagine even if Holyfield had Male Pattern Baldness.

    I've just read they can test for it but the half life of HGH is around 2.5 hours, that's crazy **** right there!

    Just turned 34 yesterday and my parts are seizing up, I reckon it's time for some TRT or HGH.

    If Rambo can do it and carry on killing thousands by the year then the stuff is God's cum IMO.

    So when did steroids and other performance enhancing drugs become illegal in boxing?
