Aside from being well drug tested, Usyk doesn't even have the look of a steroid user. He looks totally natural. He's just a cruiserweight who added 20 pounds. It didn't happen overnight either because in the Chisora fight he still looked like a cruiserweight.

Also don't forget that cruiserweight to heavyweight isn't quite as big of a jump as it used to be because cruiserweight used to be 190lbs back when Holyfield made the transition.

people need to stop with this "looks" like a steroid user.

all kinds of athletes use anabolics. women use them. skinny cyclists and the like use them.

Further James Toney and Tyson Fury tested positive for them and both look like fat slobs as far as athletes are concerned while someone like tim bradley is passing his ped tests.

its basically imposslbe to be in the top 30 in say cycling without using peds yet all these guys are "passing" the tests. its safe to assume most high level pro athetes are on PEDs.

what percentage of PED users fail a test? it cant be 100 or nobody would bother using it. and every guy who fails most people will believe it wasnt their first time so they were passing before

its probably only 1-5 percent that even fail. If they didnt have a high degree of confidence they would pass the test they just wouldnt do it. remember in boxing they get paid the same that fight win or lose. if it was a 50 percent chance they fail a ped test and the fight gets cancelled they would be better off taking no PEDs and just losing collecting the check

Steroids, I doubt. Some kind of blood doping, whatever the modern equivalent might be, maybe. It's his stamina that's beating these monsters.

Unlike Fury who threw around the accusations while being a confirmed drug cheat himself, nothing about Uysk suggests he is on any PEDs. We can’t just accuse everyone who goes up divisions and does well of being cheats, especially based on some brainless throwaway comment from an unreliable source like Fury.

No, it's a legitimate point. Your mistake is in thinking that you need to be built like Mr. Olympia in order to exhibit the signs of PED use. It's far more subtle than that and I can tell you that when someone does exhibit the signs, they are on them, guaranteed. Those who don't, like Usyk, could still be on them, it's just less likely, which is why it's worth pointing out in a thread surrounding this very question. It's not proof he's clean but it does bolster the argument.

When defendants say they've never been arrested before...BFD
usually means they just haven't been caught.
Still....a person is only guilty when they are caught.
Testing has to catch up to any short cut a user knows of.
Just like DNA is solving a bunch of cases that would otherwise go unsolved.

I'm not a fan of making assumptions unless the actions of said fighter is sketchy AF.

The fact that fighters are getting busted is a good sign for those who hate roids.

IMHO, roids are not the problem
I'm still waiting on a roider to seriously injure their opp.
Hate to say it but that's the only logical reason to ban roids.

Fury accused Usyk of being a “little steroid man” when he moved up to HW and beat Joshua. People say Pacquiao buys dianabol tablets because he moved up and kept his power and stamina, his head got bigger, etc but the same can be said of Usyk.

Usyk and his team have always denied the allegations. What do you think?

I see no reason to think that Usyk is on steroids and use dianabol pills for sale. Yes, he got bigger when he moved up to heavyweight, but that's natural for a boxer who trains and gains weight for a new division. I always look at the facts, not rumors – there was no evidence, only speculation and accusations that have been made against many athletes.

He's surely clean and the test results prove it. Fury is jealous of Usyk's greatness and prowess so he makes allegations. Fraudweather did the same to Pacquiao and lost the defamation lawsuit and had to pay him millions in damages.
