    I thought Balco is the last we'd hear of the guy, yet top athletes continue to work with him.

    Anyone with insight into the scoop on him please :huh

    After he paid his debt to society, and his unique skill set put him in demand. Not saying it's right or wrong, but he has complied with all asked of him to rectify the situation of the past.

    He's got a lifetime ban from international sports iirc. All the athletes he doped up got lifetime bans. This is why is mucking around in boxing.

    He also helped the doping authorities a lot by telling them exactly what is being used out there and how to detect it.

    People tend tom overlook this.

    A good amount of prominent fighters are working with him. It's given him legitimacy. However, it is weird that they're allowing this guy to work this closely with athletes and distribute supplements.

    Different things. Try again.

    Without an experience in conditioning you cannot teach others. If you cannot improve your conditioning, how you would help others in this area?

    When Andre Ward turned into America's next big hypejob.

    So if someone hasnt created a successful business themselves,they cant teach business classes in University?

    He doesnt make money by getting himself into shape, he makes money by getting others into shape.

    That is so ****ing stupid.

    So you couldn't be an expert on nutrition, but eat nothing but junk food yourself?

    You couldn't be an expert in conditioning training but have no interest in being in shape yourself at that particular time in your life?

    You couldn't train a numerous boxing World Champions without being a World Champion yoursef?

    You couldn't be an estate agent if you haven't sold your own house?

    etc etc

    :patsch

    So by your assumption Michael Jordon should be the greatest Basketball GM to ever live? But yet he sucks.

    Sean Payton should be a shitty coach because he was a shitty player? But yet he has a Super Bowl ring to his name and turned a joke of a franchise into a elite team in the NFL.

    Freddy Roach couldn't box to save his life, so he should be a god awful trainer? yet he has masterminded multiple world titlists to fame.

    Buddy McGirt who was a world champion should be one of the best trainers in the game? yet he's viewed as the worst elite level trainers a boxer can get.

    So explain to me why the **** Conte should have to be physically in shape to do his ****ing job? Where does knowing the science behind the human body and knowing what supplements will do have anything to do with doing it himself? Do as I say not as I do.
