I have boxed with guys who took steroids and in almost every case their build changes noticeably. I'm going to admit I haven't watched all of Vitali's recent work but his body looks pretty much the same as before with some added flab which is consistent for his age. This would lead me to believe he either:
A). Has been on steroids his whole career.
B). Doesn't use steroids.
Since he hasn't failed any test other than the infraction in 2004 where he admitted to taking tech to recover from an injury I'll wager he hasn't taken steroids. Him being so successful late in his career doesn't count as a very strong indication to me since he has been beating guys that frankly aren't very good boxers.
Frankly the steroids abuse these days isn't nearly as severe a problem as the number of guys running EPO...
