Yeah, no. That's a cop out. Nothing about Andre Ward shows substance usage. The testing just validates it all.
I'm delighted that you don't suspect a favourite fighter of yours of PEDs.
Meanwhile in the real world doping is rife, easy and hard to catch. We should suspect ALL athletes of doping. You do not even need to see contributory evidence such as unexplained IV, working with known PED enablers (Conte, Memo, Balco labs), changes in appearance, size and many other indicators to understand that there is widespread usage. PEDs are not magic and if used in a focussed manner can provide lots of advantages without showing size gain. They are particularly effective for muscle growth but their primary MO is to promote recovery which allows much more intensive training. If you train for speed and stamina whilst using steroids you will increase speed and stamina far quicker than unassisted with little or no muscle mass gain.
Only poorly advised users get caught under the current rules. All the big drug cheats were caught well after the events they were competing in because they were passing the majority of the drugs tests.
Year round, unpredictable testing protocols are the only way to clean up sport.
Is Andre Ward using? Probably. Same as everyone else. He's a great fighter and it doesn't take away from him more than anyone else.
It's just part of pro sports.
ha im suspicious of pretty much every heavyweight. David haye looked like he put on a good chunk of muscle too in his retiement when he wasnt getting tested, certainly a substantial amount for someone to put on in there mid 30's who'd been weight training for many years
Yeah this is true.
It's a great way to hop on a cycle or two.
I don't put any russian in there with there history of meldonium
Are you for real? And you're American. You know, the nation with the most caught dopers? Duh.
Americans have proven to be the dirtiest nation in boxing. Lots of their guys have been popped. And that's on ****ty tests. So i'd be careful where Ward is concerned.
I can't think of many of them actually.
Is that you Baitlyn Jenner? Ward was caught with his name on BALCO receipts. He's dirty as they come. But all boxers are.
He lost to Kovalev though dirty or not lol
This **** again?
Unless the athlete is on year round testing protocols they are using performance enhancing drugs. Yes, even Ward. And everyone else.
Some might even be cheating the year round testing. Plenty of athletes/swimmers/cyclists etc have.

Anyone with a basic grasp of PEDs would have a good laugh reading this forum. Now meldonium is a serious PED all of Russia is taking.
It's not even considered a PED by most drs and was reluctantly put into a gradual ban phase after being around for 50 years.
US fighters test dirty left and right for anabolic steroids and masking agents but we are worried about meldonium which isn't half as potent as some herbs from GNC.

yeah he's more than a known drug cheat, he's a self appointed man of ' being able to cheat the drug tests'
but your explanation of ' but he's known for other stuff too ' totally destroys the former point mate :lol1:
He did show how to cheat drug tests, but he was sesationalized on that account because of Bonds and the media, when he also was a nutritionist, an innovator in the field. He was well known for getting tremendous results for athletes.
My point is not to talk Conte up... rather to show how ridiculous the assertion that Ward being involved with Conte implies a drug cheat relationship.
i just did.
are you dim?
that's a rhetorical question btw.
do you know what that means?
don't answer that either.
:lol1:
I asked, if Victor Conte is the best at hiding, why doesn't Wad get everything done. And if he did, why isn't it showing.
Simple enough for you?
'he's a self appointed man of ' being able to cheat the drug tests'
The dude boasts about being able to get a clean test on a dirty athlete.
