    You do realize Vitali wasn't allowed to participate in the Olympics because he tested positive for steroids, right?

    And believe me, if those two are comfortable enough to take nude photographs together, they are definitely comfortable enough to share steroid advice.

    Boxing: Klitschko admits steroid abuse



    By Bob Mee
    Published: 12:01AM GMT 02 Nov 2004

    Vitali Klitschko, who defends his World Boxing Council heavyweight title against Britain's Danny Williams in Las Vegas on Dec 11, has admitted to having used steroids earlier in his career.
    He tested positive for a banned substance in 1996 when still an amateur and was instantly thrown off the Ukrainian boxing team for the Atlanta Olympics.

    Klitschko had planned to box at super-heavyweight while his younger brother, Wladimir, was entered to compete at the 201lb heavyweight limit.
    Wladimir, who was struggling to make his weight, took over the super-heavyweight slot and went on to win the gold medal.
    "Their dream was to go to the Olympics and win gold medals together," said Vitali Klitschko's spokesman, Bernd Boente.
    The drugs admission is made in Vitali's autobiography, which has just been released and so far is available only in German. In it, Klitschko reveals that he turned to steroids after aggravating an old leg injury he had sustained in a kick-boxing tournament.
    "He went to a normal Ukrainian doctor who gave him something that would heal it, but he didn't check the doping list," Boente said.
    Klitschko admits that it was a steroid - and shortly afterwards the substance showed up in a routine drug test.
    "They are not keeping this a secret," Boente said. "You have to remember this was the Ukraine of eight or nine years ago. Things are very different now.
    "At first he was totally angry. He couldn't believe it."
    In his eight-year professional career, Klitschko has been tested routinely for banned substances, including steroids, and has always been clean.
    Tests for steroids are normal in Germany, where he had the majority of his contests during his rise to the championship.

    Vitali Klitschko reveals steroid use

    02.11.04 - WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (34-2, 33 KO’s) has admitted to using steroids in his autobiography that has just been released in Germany. In the autobiography, Vitali reveals using steroids after aggravating a leg injury that he had previously sustained during a kick-boxing bout.

    While Vitali was still fighting as an amateur for the Ukrainian boxing team in 1996, he tested positive for a banned substance and was immediately thrown off the team. At the time, Vitali was training for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Since then, Vitali has tested clean for Steroids during his entire professional career.

    Vitali will be defending his WBC heavyweight title against Danny Williams in Las Vegas on December 11. It will be Vitali's first defense of the WBC belt for the first time since defeating Corrie Saunders on an eighth-round TKO last April in Los Angeles. ​

    Not even close! He was a great puncher but that was it. Rahman outboxed him for their entire first fight and if not for a punch after the bell Tua would have lost.

    i think it can argued that wladimir is probably a top 10-12 heavyweight of all time. forget his chin, but this guy probably has the strongest most devastating jab in the history of heavyweights. he would give any ATG heavyweight a tussle and might even beat some of them.

    You do know that it was a medical steroid prescribed to him by a doctor in order to heal a leg injury... don't you?:patsch You do realize that is VERY common... don't you?

    So, everyone who has ever had an injury and was prescribed a medical steroid to help heal that injury is now a steroid abuser for life?:lol:
