Is Usyk on steroids?

[Quiksilva]

I wonder if everyone is clean at the highest level in their particular sport? Many high-profile cases have been caught.

Mayweather with IV in 2015 in the Manny Pacquiao fight to mask other substances, maybe? Oh wait. Sorry, everyone is clean. Even Canelo with clenbuterol in 2018, a.k.a "Mexican Beef."

Why would that make any difference?

I would think he’d have come up positive “on the road” if he was using.

Why would you think that?

his stamina is very good tho he outlasts all his opponents, thats where a lot of peds can shine, not saying thats the case with him of course but noone can be sure 100% of anyone i dont think really

1. Yes, plenty of peds are target stamina instead of strength, but they usually have a strength increase as a side bonus.

2. Peds are rampant in every neck of the woods at this point. They're just cheaper overseas.

A kind of deflection tactic by Fury I guess. Or maybe he was projecting his own desire to use steroids against Usyk to boost his own performance. Because remember Fury got busted for steroids and coke. Failed 2 drug tests. Steroid fail was around 8 months before Fury vs Klitschko in 2015 and coke fail was during the camp for the Klitschko rematch in 2016. That's why he pulled out of the Klitschko rematch and vacated his belts. If he didn't vacate he would have been stripped so effectively drugs played a major part in Fury's career - they ultimately led to him vacating all his titles without defending them once (at the time).

He's as physically strong as men 30-40lbs bigger than him, see pushing AJ and fury around in the clinch.

Usyk is incredibly sketchy but he's also incredibly popular so people don't ask questions.

What good are test results if "fans" of the sport jump to conclusions

I know the mantra in NSB is everyone is on peds.......

[deathofaclown]

All of them are

There's PED "doctors" out that'll openly tell you they're always steps ahead of the testing.

All the fighters with big money use these guys. That's why they rarely get caught.

They only way the very top fighters usually get busted is when they get caught at the wrong time. Like Canelo got busted because it was the first time the testers went to Mexico unexpectedly and he was using stuff they can test for easily because he got careless by not taking the best stuff because he assumed he's never getting tested in mexico.

Generally the stuff he uses when he's more careful is from the top guys that are ahead of the testing, same applies to Usyk, Fury, AJ, Floyd, Manny and all the other fighters with serious money.

If you think any of these guys are clean, then you're naive.

[elfag]

all elite athletes are on steroids

do you know what guys Usyk's age used to look like in the 90s and earlier?

why do you think there are so many top of the division fighters over 35 in the last 25 years?

[Coverdale]

First off, how would anyone here be able to answer that question?

Second, you're listening to Fury, an epic gaslighter who has actually been popped and obliquely admitted his drug use on iFL.
