    Cheque Drops a couple hours before the fight? But that wouldn’t clear your system as fast though...

    No comment on the rest - but it doesn't bother you if clean athletes are suffering long term brain injuries as a result of fighting juiced up opponents?

    ^^^^^ LOL!!! :risas3:

    “B.. Bu.. But what about Wlad doe!”

    Look at his gradual size gains over the years after the Olympics. It’s very realistic. Now compare that to Joshua’s after his Olympic run, along with his HGH gut.

    Actually don’t even bother. Lol What am I thinking. :facepalm:

    haha so before results even come out you are already making excuses?

    Hearn is already paying of VADA huh?

    Jesus Christ you are sad, little boys.

    No-one bribes the lab - they just do the testing. The people that the test results are given to once they've been conducted are the ones that can be bribed, i.e. the specific testing or sports body that requested them. It's not like the lab is setup up a big alarm system with flashing lights that go off every time a sample is positive, which is in turn connected to news rooms around the world for it to then be reported instantly. There is a long process between taking the sample and the results being seen by those at 'the top'. Plenty of ways in and around it. We've seen this with Russia. Just watch Icarus - even the America drug testers say it is easy to fool the system.

    HGH is hard to detect and is only detectable for a maximum of 72 hours. That is the drug of choice. Testosterone base/suspension will also be used as well as things like androgel and the like. Plus, there are many hundreds of anabolic steroids that were developed in the 1950/60s that never made it on to the market - and I mean hundreds upon hundreds. All they need to do is look these up in Vida, synthesise them and see if they can pass testing. Not difficult if you've got lots of money.

    In addition, If you watching the Dave Allen interview on IFL from the other week he states that neither he or Ortiz were tested for their fight. That tells you all you need to know about how easy it is to dope in the lower levels of the sport. Harder at the top, obviously, but certainly far from impossible.

    I remember when people used to defend and speak out pro-VADA before they were exposed for being as corrupt as reasonably possible last year. Hopefully it's no issue. Glad to see more testing. It's only ever a great thing.

    it's not the first time I've done weight training, just the first time in a number of years. I've done boxing training/circuit training with a former PT instructor with the Paras, practiced Shitoryu Karate with Phil and Amy Powell who have both competed at World Championship level and also tried my hand at Tetsudo for a little while so know a bit more than you might imagine.
    Just genetically speaking, AJ is a bit of a freak of nature. There have been plenty of heavyweights over the years who have looked like they could compete at Mr Olympia at a moments notice. Nothing has come to light about AJ's suspected PED use. Given how lofty his standing is at the moment, can you imagine what a scoop it would be if he was found out? Plenty of unscrupulous people out there who would have no hesitation in knocking him off his lofty perch for a fast buck.

    Wilder is protected by VADA and the WBC. VADA cleared Povetkin, but the WBC had made up their mind to keep Povetkin from knocking Wilder out, also VADA framed Ortiz, blood pressure medicine is not a PED! Any fighter who is a threat will be framed by VADA, that's Wilder's plan for Joshua, watch and see. Wilder will never fight Joshua, he says he will, but VADA will not allow it.

    I think the main difference is that this would be the 365 day VADA testing s opposed to the 365 UKAD one. They have some differences into what is and isn't allowed, i think. Though I'm sure a more educated user can correct me

    Wald's own brother was busted for PEDs he also could have been on EPO as well. You have no proof of AJ juicing it's just speculation like what I'm doing with Wlad.

    Everyone claims Joshua has stamina issues because he is too big.

    So can someone explain to me how taking PEDs which increase his size is so beneficial?
