    Thurman or brook right now. Two fully fledged strong welterweights with size and speed and youth over Jmm.

    Pac almost had Marquez knocked out, had him out on his feet, that's why Marquez will never rematch Pac for any amount of money. He knows he got lucky..........................

    ^^^^^^

    I thought this article was interesting... Imo, all elites or world class are getting anabolic and endurance assistance. I feel Marquez is on gear, as are all of the world class today, but this reticle gave me some insight on why and how, from heredia. I agree btw he has elit recovery powers, that only got enhanced.

    SPIEGEL: Mr. Heredia, will you watch the 100 meter final in Beijing?

    Heredia: Of course. But the winner will not be clean. Not even any of the contestants will be clean.

    SPIEGEL: Of eight runners ...

    Heredia: ... eight will be doped.

    SPIEGEL: There is no way to prove that.

    Heredia: There is no doubt about it. The difference between 10.0 and 9.7 seconds is the drugs.

    SPIEGEL: Can drugs make anyone into a world record holder?

    Heredia: No, that is a misapprehension: “You take a couple of tablets today and tomorrow you can really fly.” In reality you have to train inconceivably hard, be very talented and have a perfect team of trainers and support staff. And then it is the best drugs that make the difference. It is all a great composition, a symphony. Everything is linked together, do you understand? And drugs have a long-term effect: they ensure that you can recover, that you avoid the catabolic phases. Volleyball on the beach might be healthy, but peak athletics is not healthy. You destroy your body. Marion Jones, for example ...

    SPIEGEL: ... five-time Olympic medallist at Sydney 2000 ...

    Heredia: ... trained with an unparalleled intensity. Drugs protect you from injury. And she triumphed and picked up all the medals.

    SPIEGEL: Are you proud?

    Heredia: Of course, I still am. It is still a tremendous achievement, and you must not believe that Marion’s rivals were poor, deceived competitors.

    SPIEGEL: This isn’t just an American problem?

    Heredia: Are you kidding me? No. All countries, all federations, all top athletes are affected, and among those responsible are the big shoe companies like Nike and Adidas. I know athletes who broke records; a year later they were injured and they got the call: “We’re cutting your sponsorship money by 50 percent.” What do you think such athletes then do?

    SPIEGEL: Tell us what you did for your clients.

    Heredia: Athletes hear rumors and they become worried. That the competition has other tricks, that they might get caught when they travel. There is no room for mistakes. One mistake can ruin a career.

    SPIEGEL: So you became a therapist for the athletes in matters of drugs?

    Heredia: More like a coach. Together we found out what was good for which body and what the decomposition times were. I designed schedules for ****tails and regimens that depended on the money the athletes offered me. Street drugs for little money, designer drugs for tens of thousands. Usually I sent the drugs by mail, but sometimes the athletes came to me.

    SPIEGEL: With Marion Jones ...

    Heredia: ... it was about the recovery phases. In 2000 she competed in one event after another, and she needed to relax. I gave her epo, growth hormone, adrenaline injections, insulin. Insulin helps after training, together with protein drinks: insulin transports protein and minerals more quickly through the cell membrane.

    SPIEGEL: Jones was afraid of needles.

    Heredia: Yes, that’s why C. J. Hunter, her husband at the time, and her trainer Trevor Graham mixed her three substances in one injection. I advised them against it because I thought it was risky.

    SPIEGEL: What kind of relationship did you have with your athletes?

    Heredia: Business ties. It was all about levels and dosing. I rarely spoke with Marion. It was done through her coaches.

    Part II: How Heredia outwitted the drug testers and became the dealer to the world’s best athletes.

    SPIEGEL: Was there a doping cycle?

    Heredia: Yes. When the season ended in October, we waited for a couple of weeks for the body to cleanse itself. Then in November, we loaded growth hormone and epo, and twice a week we examined the body to make sure that no lumps were forming in the blood. Then we gave testosterone shots. This first program lasted eight to ten weeks, then we took a break.

    SPIEGEL: And then the goals for the season were established?

    Heredia: Yes, that depended on the athlete. Some wanted to run a good time in April to win contracts for the tournaments. Others focused on nothing but the trials, the U.S. qualification for international championships. Others cared only about the Olympics. Then we set the countdown for the goal in question, and the next cycle began. I had to know my athletes well and have an overview of what federation tested with which methods.

    SPIEGEL: Where does one get this information?

    Heredia: Vigilance. Informers.

    SPIEGEL: You were once a good discus thrower yourself.

    Heredia: Very good in Mexico, but very average by international standards. I had played soccer, boxed and done karate before I ended up in track and field. At 13 or 14 I believed in clean sports. Doping was a crime to me; back then I even asked my father if I could take aspirin.

    SPIEGEL: Why did you begin doping?

    Heredia: Like all athletes: because others were doing it. All of a sudden, kids that I used to beat were throwing ten meters further. Then I had an injury but I wanted to qualify for the Olympic team anyway. Doping became to me what it is for most athletes: part of the sport. If you train for 12 hours today and your trainer expects you to train for 12 hours again tomorrow, you dope. Otherwise you can’t do it.

    SPIEGEL: What did you take?

    Heredia: Growth hormone. Testosterone.

    SPIEGEL: But you failed to qualify for the Olympics anyway.

    Heredia: Yes, but I read anything I could find about medicine, spoke with other athletes, and soon people were saying: Angel knows how it’s done. He knows how to pass the tests. The first athletes began to ask me for advice. That’s how it started, and at some point the trainer Trevor Graham asked me if I could help him. I explained to him how epo works, and I was in business.

    SPIEGEL: What qualified you for the role of dealer to the world’s best athletes?

    Heredia: My father is a chemistry professor. I love chemistry, and I was an athlete. My role was an obsession. For example, I learned everything about testosterone: that there is a type of testosterone with a high half-life and another that works very quickly. I learned that you can rub it in, take it orally, inject it. It became a kick: I was allowed to work with the best of the best, and I made them even better.

    SPIEGEL: And how did you become the best in your world?

    Heredia: With precision. You want an example? Everyone talks about epo. Epo is fashionable. But without adding iron, epo only works half as well. That’s the kind of thing you have to know. There are oxygen carriers that make epo work incredibly fast – they are actually better than epo alone. I call my drug “Epo Boost.” I inject it and it releases many tiny oxygen molecules throughout the body. In that way you increase the effect of epo by a factor of ten.

    SPIEGEL: Do you have any other secrets?

    Heredia: Oh yes, of course. There are tablets for the kidneys that block the metabolites of steroids, so when athletes give a urine sample, they don’t excrete the metabolites and thus test negative. Or there is an enzyme that slowly consumes proteins - epo has protein structures, and the enzyme thus ensures that the B sample of the doping test has a completely different value than the A sample. Then there are chemicals that you take a couple of hours before the race that prevent acidification in the muscles. Together with epo they are an absolute miracle. I’ve created 20 different drugs that are still undetectable for the doping testers.

    SPIEGEL: What trainers have you worked together with?

    Heredia: Particularly with Trevor Graham.

    SPIEGEL: Graham has a lifetime ban because he purportedly helped Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery, ****** Gatlin and many others to cheat. Who else?

    Heredia: With Winthrop Graham, his cousin. With John Smith, Maurice Greene’s coach. With Raymond Stewart, the Jamaican. With Dennis Mitchell ...

    SPIEGEL: ... who won gold in the 4 x 100 meters in 1992 and today is a coach. How did the collaboration work?

    Heredia: It’s a small world. It gets around who can provide you with something how quickly and at what price, who is discreet. The coaches approached me and asked if I could help them, and I said: yes. Then they gave me money, $15,000 or thereabouts, we got a first shipment and then we did business. At some point it led to one-on-one cooperation with the athletes.

    SPIEGEL: Was there a regimen of sorts?

    Heredia: Yes. I always combined several things. For example, I had one substance called actovison that increased blood circulation – not detectable. That was good from a health standpoint and even better from a competitive standpoint. Then we had the growth factors IGF-1 and IGF-2. And epo. Epo increases the number of red blood cells and thus the transportation of oxygen, which is the key for every athlete: the athlete wants to recover quickly, keep the load at a constantly high level and achieve a constant performance.

    of course it is possible. it is possible to stop every single human ever. being severely concussed has nothing to do with how tough one is. your brain gets rattled more than its capable you're out of it.

    jmm is very dangerous when hurt. fighters know this and this is a reason why most back off after hurting him. he is more dangerous when hurt because fighters trying to finish their opponent off puts them in their most vulnerable position. I've seen jmm take shots I thought knocked him completely out but he still got up.

    like that hook that castidas (sp ?) caught him with, I thought he was OUT pac style but he was still kind of alert. that could has eaily been stopped, thank god it wasnt

    Torrecampo KTFO Pacquiao so what's your point? JMM KTFO Pacquiao. There we have it, by your logic, Torrecampo and JMM punch a whole heck of a lot harder than Pacquiao. Irrefutable.
