    If Mayweather got busted for HGH and TRT would you give him a pass

    Say it later comes out that Mayweather took growth hormone and TRT.

    But his reasoning was for recovery he took HGH and he needed TRT because he had hypogonadism and he needed TRT to maintain normal testosterone levels.


    After you answer that,would you also give Pacquiao a pass in the same situation if he took those for the same reasons as Floyd.

    He is clearly on some sort of recovery drug. HGH and Test are my bet.

      Victor Conte and Hauser both questioning Jon Jones low testosterone levels on some of his tests, and later it came out that Jone Jones was using and got caught with Estrogen blockers.

      Conte said Mayweather had an abnormally low Testosterone level just like Jones on his USADA test, he said its a red flag because that usually happens when someone is ****ing with their hormone levels synthetically.

      If I were to guess what Floyd could be using im guessing Smart Drugs like Adderall, stuff that enhances your reflexes and timing, makes you quicker and reaction time is insane,

        Honestly I don't care who uses what so I'm not passing judgement myself with any of these situations so much as realizing they broke the rules regarding banned substances & have a punishment coming. I think for many people usage can put a question mark on anything you've previous done & I fully understand that & even feel that way myself to some degree, but I also believe that the upside to PED's is highly overstated & if you are working at 88% of your athletic potential without PED's, using PEDs might bump you up 2-3% more so the edge isn't THAT big to diminish any particular guys entire ring career.

          My friend uses steroids, I've actually seen him use EPO and he said Floyd is on EPO

          I get what you're saying but these drugs help you train longer and recover faster. Isn't that cheating?

              I understand that Floyd is a great athlete, but your body looking better than it did in your 20's?


              Stop it.

                I'm not saying its not cheating or it doesn't help. Its for sure cheating to use anything on the banned substance list & its for sure gonna make you a better version of you. I'm just saying I think the benefits aren't THAT good. Some cats act like PEDs give you near superpowers & I'm not in that camp.

                  Some can but I don't think that is what Floyd has been using

                    No ***ing way. That would explain his "legendary" conditioning. Would explain his cotto win as it was a tough fight until after the 8th were cotto gassed out and Floyd kept on going and going and going.
