Didn’t I warn you about karma? You kept crying on the forum to say Fury and BJS never “popped” while parading that Canelo was a “cheat.” FFS
Let’s revise the facts of nandrolone:
It is possible to find traces of nandrolone in the body but these are only ever at minute amounts. Research carried out at Aberdeen University in 2000, which apparently showed a link between the steroid and exercise, has since been dismissed.
The waters were muddied slightly by British bobsleigh's Lenny Paul, who successfully argued in 1997 that he tested positive for nandrolone as a result of eating spaghetti bolognese made with contaminated beef, but scientists now agree that the steroid is not present in edible tissues.
The same defence was taken a stage further when two swimmers claimed they had tested positive after eating a Brazilian dish of uncastrated boar's meat. David Meca, of Spain, and Igor Majcen, of Slovenia, were banned for four years.
Professor Arne Ljundqvist, the head of the medical committee of the Inter- national Olympic Committee, said: "People have tried to make nandrolone mysterious but it is the oldest known steroid. To test positive, you have to take something.
"We believe that the athletes in many of these nandrolone cases have been taking dietary supplements which have been contaminated with precursors of nandrolone. The IOC and the World Anti-Doping Agency agree, however, that the intake of supplements is not an excuse. The supplement industry is unlicensed and carries no guarantees. The advice since 1999 has been not to take supplements."
While nandrolone, which is used in the treatment of breast cancer and for the rebuilding of muscle, has been around since the 1960s, it came to prominence in 1999, when 343 athletes tested positive for the drug.
These included the high profile cases of Britain's Linford Christie, Dougie Walker and Gary Cadogan. They were cleared of a doping offence by UK Athletics on the grounds that "it could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the substance present was derived from a prohibited substance".
The IAAF disagreed, cited their unbending policy of "strict liability" and banned them all for two years.
Within months of those cases, Mark Richardson tested positive for nandrolone and he, too, denied taking a performance-enhancing drug.
However, his willingness to help spread the message about the dangers of supplements was enough to ensure that his two-year ban was reduced.
