If Vitali's injuries are for real, is it due to steroid use?

me too, just like jose canseco, getting injured in the batting circle. vitali got injured jogging once??? wtf is that, it was a thigh injury too, not a sprined ankle or anything like that. ****** stuff like that makes me think of steroids. i've known guys personally who were huge heads and after taking them for awhile they'd get hurt stretching or doing something minor....seems too coincidental to me..i'm sure he's scared too, to be honest.

I think that he just took a pee test to see if it would pass before the fight, and when the test failed he "decided" to injure his knee to cover up.

if vitali ever tested positive for them the results would be reveiled quickly imo

At least he is smart enough to do that unlike dum dum Toney.

there's been idle talk over the years about roids and the klits.i've read that they did them before they were illegal.hell theyre podiatrist,or veter...they know about these things.

supposidly an old girlfriend of one of the brothers had told a media source that "hez huevos weir the size of almonds".don't know. and now he gets hurt all the time.i don't know.

maybe those lennox blows he ate had accumalative ongoing effects.

That ****er on your avatar could have done that, but not VK, he is too smart for that.

I thought this was another Mike Tyson Jr. post again...

No, Klitchko's knee injury isn't steroid related. He had previously torn his medial meniscus. For those of you who don't know what that is, I'll explain it...

It's the "shock absorber" in your knee that separates the Fibula (thigh bone) and Tibia (shin bone). Basically, when you move around laterally, the two bones press together in your knee. With a torn meniscus (or no meniscus), you lose stability in your knee, which can lead to your knee buckling, and some serious pain. I've torn mine twice and had it scoped, and it's not a fun injury, especially for the lateral movement that boxing requires. Granted it's not a career ending surgery, but it is something that needs to be taken care of.

I know there are a lot of Klitchko haters out there, but this is a legitimate injury, trust me. It's a goofy injury that can be re-aggrevated just by walking, let alone sparring.

Flame on!

If Vitali's injuries are for real, is it due to steroid use?
