I know people want to ignore the obvious elephant in the room. They will tell you "Its Genetics" and all that crap
Wlad, Lennox, Clifton Mitchell and a few others threw some shade towards Joshua indirectly in the build up of the fight
Yes Joshua is passing all the drug tests, congrats, but so what, he's not the first drug abuser to pass them..
iow, put everyone in jail because we all broke laws.
Hey the question is 'do you think he takes PED's' and I 100% believe he does. But I'd say its rife in ALL major professional sport where there is a lot of money at stake. If you choose to believe otherwise then fair enough.
As this thread only asks about Joshua i won't comment on any other fighter. Yes he absolutely is, the roid gut is beyond freakish. I suspect one day he'll actually 'pop' in the ring. and for those that say he always tested clean...................awwww man give me a break. Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones etc etc. Go and watch that documentary on Memo where he laughs about how easy it is to beat tests.
Does this look like someone who has ever failed a PED test?

If you said yes...you were right. Josh Barnett has tested positive more than once.
lol, obviously
most of them are but in his case his physique (at his size) isn't remotely possible without PEDs
the swollen belly with GI joe abs on top of it is a hallmark
it's so widespread though. Highschool football teams get busted doping nowadays. You can bet athletes going for millions are all on it.
We are basically faulting him for going all the way and making no attempt to hide it. Ala alistar overeem before he got busted.
It is a very naive person who does not believe that the cream of the crop in boxing are doping.
Cheating them is very easy, you don't fail the PED test, you fail the IQ test.
Remember, Lance Armstrong never failed a test.
Obviously testing is different depending on the org, but here's an interesting one for cheating tests : https://www.t-nation.com/pharma/beating-the-crossfit-drug-testgood read bro
I saw him taking some jacked up supps and he is sponsored by EQ nutrition. before he started taking supplements he was leaner, now he has those full muscle bellies and huge traps. I wouldnt mess with supplements they are not regulated and MANY of them are tainted with steroid and muscle builders, its why a lot of athletes get busted, Joshua shouldnt take them he needs to lean up a bit and improve his stamina he was gassing from all those muscles.

This was Joshua before signing his Supplement deal, he was smaller and leaner he looked much smaller than Klitschko,

Wasn't Jousha once arrested for dealing PEDs at a gym? Back when he was getting into bodybuilding
Can you imagine if Errol Spence or Floyd were dealing PED's at their local YMCA, what you guys would say
I very much doubt it, steroids aren't even illegal in UK....
I would suggest all the HW's are suspect.
Wlad is 41 and in ridiculous shape for a 6'6'', 240lb man. Ortiz has popped dirty. Povetkin is dirty. Both Fury's have tested positive. Browne, Tarver, etc...
You're very much on the 'anti-Joshua' assault since he stopped Wlad.
He has been that for as long as i can remember...his two pet hates are joshua and kell brook and he loves the rag head amir khan and the two stooges tyson and hughie.....full of salt
This topic is racist. You've presented no evidence that Joshua is on PEDS other than the fact he's black with muscles. What evidence do you have to suspect he's on PEDS?
Every top fighter has a chance of being on PEDS no matter what their ethnicity is. Stop trying to play the race card . Joshua and wlad could both be on PEDS, same with GGG and any other fighter. me personally i think a good amount of them are, you have to understand it makes training camps and fights alot easier.
Of course he is (so is the man in your sig, by the way), he's the most blatant user in the sport. However, Klitschko is clearly on PEDs as well so I feel it was a level playing field, just like how I felt for Marquez/Pacquiao.
I'm an American, but I have to point out that American fighters are rarely accused of using PEDs. Why is it that people so often accuse British fighters like Joshua of this without a scintilla of evidence?
He's built like Arnold Schwarzenegger and he has a MASSIVE roid gut?
Anyone who thinks either Wlad or Joshua are clean are naive as fuk, probably people you can't talk sense in to either. Just because they past tests all it means is they pass for things that are tested and not for things that aren't. It's like meldonium, everyone is getting popped for nowadays, athletes went years before organisations even tested for it so they were all doping, famous example Maria Sharapova tennis star. They're either on stuff that testing isn't trying to find or they're masking what they take extremely well. But if you believe WWE is real then sure they're all clean :)
A good physique is not necessarily an indicator that someone might be on steroids, ESPECIALLY not when the person happens to be a professional athlete lol.
Joshua isn't white, doesn't live in a caravan and isn't the product of inbreeding, and those are the only prominent British heavyweights to be exposed for steroid use in the last year.
