Holyfield Named in Major Steroid Scandal

[King Koyle]

I love Evander as much as the next man,but he needs to stop with all the religious BS.He's not a very honest man.

This is great news. Finally, some big names and lots of names are getting busted. It's great to have proof and not just rampant speculation. I am sure the proof is forthcoming and I believe the DA in this case. I was always a Holyfield fan, but him getting busted is good for boxing.

Definitely not surprised at all. Holyfield used to train with ex bodybuilder Lee Haney who's a known steroid user. That was when he started to make the move to heavy & afterwards.

Haney and Holyfield are two of the biggest womanizers and religious nutjobs too. COincidence?

What shall we say about Holyfield's great wins if he was on steroids at the time?

What happens to those that were defeated?
{of course, as long as the defeated weren't on steroids}

[Benny Leonard]

So what shall we do if a fighter is training with someone that was/is involved with steroids or associated with people that did?

Should we look more into it?


I wonder how high steroid use is in Pro Sports?

50,60,70,80,90, 100%?

i dont see how using roids would be a great big deal in boxing anyway. You can be overweight with muscle as well as fat.

In fact, its precisely the reason why Holyfield always seems to gas out in later rounds...these muscles need oxygen...

If there is no reason, why use them?

I always here that steroids wear you out, and I do agree somewhat, but I remember this guy in the gym that used steroids and I used to call him Secretariat. I swear, he must have worked out for 3 hours straight non-stop. I was just like WTF???

Other guys I see in the gym are just to big and are winded despite being on juice.

EQ does increase stamina

EPO helps with stamina

Steroids, especially Growth Hormone, increase bone-density. I will take a guess and say if your bone-density is thicker, it may help with you with taking punishment.

Steroids also boost strength and energy. When somebody might have an "off night", if you are on steroids, chances are, you will not.

They also help boost confidence. Testosterone is responsible for the Male Ego.
