Mayweather Jr. says Mosley is a jealous former steroid user

Posted Byi steroids

Mayweather Jr. says Mosley is a jealous former steroid userFloyd Mayweather Jr. thinks 38-year-old Shane Mosley is just jealous of him. He thinks Mosley is desperate after losing five times in his games. Mayweather said Mosley might well be using steroids until now.

According to Mayweather, Mosley is just jealous of his success. He was referring to the gross earnings of his fights, which amounted to $70 million and is still growing. Mosley’s fights, on the other hand, only grossed $1.5 million the most with only 20,000 fans at the Staples Center.

During his recent interviews, Mayweather said he has nothing to gain by taking a fight with Shane Mosley. For his next fight, Mayweather still refuses to commit to a particular opponent’s name.

According to him, his next fight is something that he needs to talk it over his entire team, especially his advisers before making the best move. Some of the names on the list are Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, and Shane Mosley. However, what is definite is that the future holds no guarantee for him.

Most fans would want to see him fight against Pacquiao but there is still a big possibility that the fight would not take place due to Bob Arum who used to promote Mayweather.

From Boxing Scene:

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has said a few times that there is nothing to gain by taking a fight with Shane Mosley, but that hasn’t stopped him from dishing out some more verbal abuse in Shane’s direction. During a recent interview with CBS Sports, Mayweather really took aim at Mosley by calling him a jealous fighter who may still be using steroids.

Mr. Kennedy blogs about WWE release

Posted Byi steroids

Mr. Kennedy blogs about WWE releaseKen Anderson, popularly known as Mr. Kennedy in the WWE, still continues to blog about his release in WWE due to his violation of the wellness policy.

He was best known in WWE for his skills on the microphone and he still does it, only this time in his blog entries. One of his entries was about a guide to nutritious eating. He preaches a diet consisting of hard-boiled eggs, beef jerky, water and “supplements”.

Most of the topic discussed in his blog has something to do with his departure in WWE and the referral to certain “supplements” was not an exception. This is in fact a reference to his defense regarding his suspension for violation of the policy. According to the grappler, he had his doctor to blame for giving him stuff he does not know.

Last week, his written entry was accompanied by a video, where he blamed himself for having been released from WWE. He cited his frequent controversial appearances in the media, where one time, he admitted taking steroids before joining WWE, but insisted that he stopped taking them afterwards.

Shortly after this appearance, he was suspended from WWE for a wellness policy violation.

From The Sun:

During the interview, he admitted he did steroids and freely opined that those who do so should not be punished, as they choose themselves to risk their health.

These controversial statements did not sit well with WWE management, who released Anderson from his contract on May 29, 2009.

India faces possible suspension due to failed doping tests of lifters

Posted Byi steroids

India faces possible suspension due to failed doping tests of liftersAccording to Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWF) secretary Baldey Gulati, three more weightlifters tested positive for anabolic steroids use at a training camp for the Commonwealth championships.

Male lifters Harbhajan Singh, Rajesh Kumar and female Bijaya Devi failed the anti-doping tests conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

The three were an addition to last month’s two weightlifters that also tested positive for anabolic steroids use. Shailajah Pujari, a gold medalist at the 75kg women’s division at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and Vicky Batta, a 56kg weightlifter initially filled the list of Indian weightlifters who tested positive for banned substances.

Last Thursday, Gulati told reporters that he was dumbfounded to find all those five weightlifters tested positive for some kind of anabolic steroids.

What is even more suspicious is that all five athletes tested for the same type of anabolic steroids in the same quantum.

India faces another possible suspension of their national body. The body was previously banned in 2004 followed by a second ban in 2006, because more than three lifters tested positive in one calendar year.

All competitors who tested positive requested their B samples to be tested. They have all denied taking any forms of anabolic steroids.

From Reuters India:

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Three more Indian weightlifters have tested positive for doping, taking the latest positive tests to five, and the national body is now facing another suspension.

New drug testing program to be implemented by USADA before the 2010 Olympics

Posted Byi steroids

New drug testing program to be implemented by USADA before the 2010 Olympics The US Anti-doping agency recently launched a new testing program for steroid and PEDs testing called longitudinal testing.

Under this new program, athletes could not only get a suspension or a ban for testing positive. They could also be penalized if found to be possibly doping.

According to USADA’s chief science officer, an athlete’s overall chemical makeup will be examined through a series of blood tests and urine tests. This series of tests would help determine if an athlete has doped once in his career.

Last week, Bower talked about the new program at the USADA’s international anti-doping symposium in Vancouver. According to him, any US athlete has the potential to be monitored for steroids and other drugs under this so called longitudinal program.

Unlike the pilot longitudinal program where a dozen or so athletes volunteered to be monitored just before the 2008 Olympics, the present program will monitor any athletes chosen randomly. Bower refused, however, to divulge the total number of athletes who will be monitored before the Vancouver Winter Olympics in February.

The International Cycling Union began longitudinal testing last year, although USADA is thought to be the first organization to implement this program and to test athletes in this manner.

From USA Today:

USADA spokeswoman Erin Hannan said the organization is confident that any positives that arise as a result of the new methods could sustain a court challenge and pointed to the case of sprinter Michelle Collins, who never tested positive but received an eight-year ban after retroactive testing showed she likely doped.

WNBF champion reveals her secret to staying fit

Posted Byi steroids

WNBF champion reveals her secret to staying fitOther bodybuilders have turned to steroids to make their muscles bulge. However, for Tennille Ray, maintaining her sculpted arms, 12-pack abs and muscled legs is a full-time job.

Ray is a professional figure bodybuilder. She won her first title as Miss Universe in the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation (WNBF) competition held at Barbados earlier this year.

Although she is a bodybuilder, Ray is still expected to remain curvy and feminine. Ray has been a personal trainer since 2001 in New York. However, she did not ever consider a career in bodybuilding until a friend suggested it to her in a gym.

According to Charlie Carollo, vice president of the WNBF, Ray is very disciplined and very fortunate to have God-given genetics.

Asked how she got into really good shape, Ray only gives out five proven ways. First is portion control when it comes to food; do not fear weights; always maintain discipline, the best way to get into shape is by doing basic exercises and never forget to drink water.

Ray has never mentioned resorting to steroids as a way to get into shape. The WNBF bans controlled substances and drug tests, and gives polygraph tests before each show to combat drug use.

According to Associated Press:

Ray is often asked by strangers on the street how she got so fit.

“You don’t have to go as extreme as me to be fit,” she said. “You still feel good and successful just working toward your own goals.”

Anabolic steroids offer competitive edge to Power Lifters long after doping has ended

Posted Byi steroids

Anabolic steroids offer competitive edge to Power Lifters long after doping has endedA team of researchers involved in ascertaining the impact of anabolic steroid use on power lifters years after the use is no longer prevalent has found that changes in the shoulder and quadriceps attained by steroid use tend to stay with steroid users years after discontinuation of steroids.

It is noteworthy to note here that anabolic steroids are synthetic hormones that are derived from testosterone, the male hormone and their use has much been in debate in professional sports where muscle strength is paramount.

From Sciencedaily.com:

Findings

The researchers found that several years after anabolic steroid withdrawal, and with no or low current strength-training, the muscle fiber area intensity, the number of nuclei per fiber in the quadriceps was still comparable to that of athletes that were currently performing high intensity strength-training. They also discovered that the shoulder-neck fiber areas were comparable to high-intensity trained athletes and the number of nuclei per fiber was even higher than found in the current steroid-using group.

Conclusions

According to the lead researcher, Dr. Eriksson, ”It is possible that the high number of nuclei we found in the muscle might be beneficial for an athlete who continues or resumes strength training because increased myonuclei opens up the possibility of increasing protein synthesis, which can lead to muscle mass.”  He added, “Based on the characteristics between doped and non-doped power lifters, we conclude that a period of anabolic steroid usage is an advantage for a power lifter in competition, even several years after they stop taking a doping drug.”

It is evident from this study that even a period of anabolic steroid usage is more than enough to be an advantage for a power lifter in competitive events, even after passage of several years after doping has been discontinued by the power lifter.

Patience is the best way to a sexy body

Posted Byi steroids

Patience is the best way to a sexy bodyOftentimes the desire for a sexy body just cannot wait. Some students fall back to using steroids to rush up the procedure.

Steroids are a group of potent chemical compounds closely linked to the male sex hormone, testosterone.

There are many other types of steroidal drugs namely anabolic, androgenic and corticosteroids, all of which have legal functions. However, these beneficial medications are illegally used often by people who want to increase muscle as fast as possible.

Anabolic steroids, the most popular type, are chemically derived from testosterone and help grow muscle and bones while diminishing fat. Androgenic steroids, stimulate the male reproductive tract and male secondary sexual characteristics to develop.

Corticosteroids are artificial and imitate the activity of cortisone, a natural healing agent found inside the body. Corticosteroids aids athletes heal quicker from injuries.

Resorting to steroids, instead of naturally exercising toward improvement, can have life-ruining effects.

Beyond health, an illegal user would not be able to conceal their steroid use. The telling side effects of “roid” abuse are extremely noticeable. Baldness, smaller testicles and breast growth in men are common effects of steroid use.

Many individuals do not presume women use steroids, but the occurrence of females using steroids is increasing. Women also develop rich amounts of body hair and a larger clitoris that is visible through clothing.

From The Daily Aztec:

Sometimes the desire for a sexy beach body just can’t wait. From killer abs to heightened athletic performance, many students find it too hard to spend those grueling months in the gym and instead resort to using steroids to speed up the process. But, after learning about the ravaging consequences these seemingly harmless drugs have on the body and the embarrassing side effects that are sure to follow, it appears a little patience is the best bet after all.

Daniel McDermot - a life’s lesson of steroids use

Posted Byi steroids

Daniel McDermot - a life’s lesson of steroids useMr. Anaheim, Mr. Orange County, Mr. Muscle Beach and Mr. Venice Beach, these are just some of the titles won by 55-year-old Daniel McDermot. In 1982, he won the American Cup Championship and held the title for the next six years.

McDermot started lifting when he was a freshman in high school. By the time he was in junior year, he was competing in actual bodybuilding competitions. His first victory was in 1971, when he placed second in Teenage LA. He started using steroids at 19 years old.

According to McDermot, steroids during that time were legal. It is just like taking vitamins. Among the steroids, that he used was Dianabol or Methandrostenolone.

He retired from bodybuilding competition in 1982, also stopping from using steroids.

After seven years of quitting from steroids, he suffered a heart attack. Although cardiac problems run in his family, steroids played a role by advancing the disease.

Now, with a long red scar running down his chest, McDermot coaches his son and some high school and college students for free.

Many young students come to him for advice about taking steroids and other supplements. His usual reply to them involves showing that long red scar on his chest.

From New University:

McDermot acknowledges that steroids allow athletes, especially bodybuilders, to make significant gains, but he also acknowledges that the cardiac complications that come with the gains are detrimental.

Body image risks teenage boys’ health

Posted Byi steroids

Body image risks teenage boys’ healthAccording to clinical psychologist Rita Princi, body image becomes so important with teenage boys that they are prepared to risk their health to become more attractive.

Steroids are mostly likely obtained by these young boys from older siblings, parents or most likely from the internet.

Even boys as young as 13 years old would want to have a buff, “six-pack” physique just like their sporting idols.

Ms. Princi added that they become more focused with their image that they tend to disregard who they really are. They have the belief that one way to obtain a manly body is by taking steroids.

Jenny O’Dea, a child health expert from the University of Sydney Child Health Research said a study that she conducted in 2002 revealed young boys buying steroid pills from a gym or drug dealer not knowing what those pills were.

Boys are more pressured than girls, when it comes to body image. While girls are only required to stay slim, boys are tasked to stay slim and bulk up at the same time.

The apparent increase of steroids use among young boys in Australia is also attributed to the increase in smuggling incidences during the year.

From WAtoday:

BOYS as young as 13 are taking steroids to get the ”six-pack” physique of their sporting heroes, child health experts say.
