    Neither of these points are relevant.

    1. Not all performance enhancing drugs are intravenous.

    2. There is a difference between "illegal" and "banned by spoting commissions".

    Some sinus decongestant drugs that you can buy at the drugstore have banned substances in them. If an athlete takes the wrong thing for a cold, they could be breaking the rules. It is part of a PROFESSIONAL athlete's job to understand the rules, and know what is an OK suppliment and what isn't.

    The performance enhancer was, at the time, new, undetectable (no failed drug tests even if you had been taking blatantly) and NOT on any banned substances list anywhere. Technically it was legal, but it did break the "spirit" of the rules everywhere for being what it was, a performance enhancer.

    While I don't care about the potential drug related stuff (at least not until it's actually proven), You do have to admit that HBO was riding Mosley's pecker pretty roughly.

    If I was Jin, I'd be giving Lampley a stern talking to.

    EPO was one of the banned performance enhancers that Mosley used. Mosley used the substance in 2003. It's been on banned substance lists since the 90's, maybe even earlier.

    Yeah. Along with Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, and all the other athletes who took illegal performance-enchancers, Shane thought they were legal.

    Also, R. Kelly thought those girls were 18, and Hector Camacho believed his poor performance against Edwin Rosario was because he was scared of the angry look his mother gave him in the locker room.

    HBO always rides the ***** of the house fighter. And Shane was not impressive, even though he won, in the Mayorga fight. Why is he such big news?

    He is a GBP fighter, and Jim and Larry wont get invited on Oscar's private jet to play golf if they dont talk real sweet like about GBP and the GBP CEO.

    But they were sucking off Calzaghe, and not Hopkins.

    I was under the impression we were talking about THG, aka "the clear". I was unaware he had used EPO, in which case, that was a dumb move.
