Would you lose all respect for Manny if he was on steroids?

Who were they? the US has an awful record for this kind of stuff, most of their major 'sporting heroes' are tainted cheats.



I agree.

Sorry bud I closed my lniks. I looked at about 10 websites, most were European with eastern European kind of names. Not famous but a bigger boxing fan may have known them perhaps.

Blood is better for testing as substances 1. stay there longer, or produce metabolites that stay there longer, and 2. the blood is a transport system, not a system to remove substances (like the renal system). So blood is a more reliable method of testing for particular substances.

Hypertrophy is just *********** of tissues or organs; it's what bodybuilders aim for cause theyre after gaining muscle mass.

Muscle-memory is just physiological adaptation by your body - it means you perform an exercise better and better - much like how a pianist improves through practise. The "muscle mind connection" may help you gain mass, cause a lot of lifters spend a lot of time lifting with poor form and thus reduced results.

She mentioned this is why his body may be getting bigger, but he is also better.

His body has elarnt to adjust to the increase in weight which is healthier since he does not have to drain as much, but also his body has more time to get use to the hard work and training at the weight because of muscle memory.

i'll start with hating chavez jr...wait...i was hating him before...

I have always hated him too lol. Not sure why, he seems a nice guy, but his name and boxing just puts me off

The straight question to ask is how effective are they in adding that extra punch that the Mayweather camp will go to this lenght to ensure that they won't be used? Another question to ask is how easy/hard is it to hide them?

considering i've always defended him, yes, i will lose a great deal if not all respect if pac was indeed on steroids.

[crossybossy]

matters. if he didn't know about it...and that can probably never be proven. alex ariza id despise and pac a BIG amount of respect goes out.

im getting tired of all this pac drug issue.

lets shift the situation to mayweather and have him test this time.

Roy jones tested positive for a performance enhancing chemical by using an OTC product that was later taken off the shelves. The same way that use of medicinal-strength ibuprofen causes you to test positive for Cannibis, and some (especially older) brands of anti-histamine containing cold remedies can make you test positive for opiates.

Yeah, that's what my research turned up too. ****** really. Chicano79 liked to argue the same point calling me a hypocrite but he has not since I pointed that out (that I have seen). Personally, I found his point suspect simply because a man with Roy's pride would not likely stoop to such tactics.

In any event...I would not lose all respect for Pacquiao, but I would lose a lot. You cannot take away Pacquiao's generosity and his compassion, but you could certainly question his integrity at that point.

[Nuurzhaelan]

I'd lose all respect for him, just I have for the rest of the cheats (probably no surprise that they're all American). Manny isn't American however, and I don't believe he is cheating.

Easy, cheesy. No need for that.

Linked to BALCO which made a drug called THG which helps hide steroids.

Please read the whole article though.


I like your points because I didn't know that, but I don't know if it is a likely story.

A lot of profesional athletes who get caught actually make funny excuses.

On a side note, that article is horribly fact-checked. Horrible. Roy Jones was never linked to BALCO.

TOTAL Disrespect.
