Focusing on staying active can be the difference between good health and troubled from ailments.

As per a research presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2008, the larger body sizes of professional soccer players do not increase risks of atherosclerosis or cardiovascular disease after they retire.

It was remarked by Benjamin D. Levine, M.D., senior author of the study and director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, that active players can easily prevent pre-diabetes progression by following a healthy, active lifestyle.

From News-Medical.Net:

“Perhaps by remaining fit, the players were able to prevent the progression of pre-diabetes from becoming real diabetes,” said Benjamin D. Levine, M.D., senior author of the study and director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. “The prevalence of obesity, using normal criteria, is really high when you look at NFL players.

“But the BMI is only a crude measure of fatness. For the athletic community it may be biased against very dense, muscular people who may have a high BMI but not as much fat. The BMI might not tell the whole story.”

This study was based on retired players from another era. The football players today are about 50 percent larger than they were a quarter of a century ago, said Levine, who is also professor of internal medicine in the Division of Cardiology at UT Southwestern. “Today, there is a lot of incentive for football players to get as big as possible through eating, extensive training or by using anabolic steroids and growth hormones. The criterion for success is that bigger is better.”

Whether current or recently retired players are at greater risk for cardiovascular events or death merits further study, given the larger body sizes of today’s NFL player, he said.

The study noted that retired National Football League (NFL) players displayed a reduced prevalence of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, sedentary lifestyle, and hypertension when compared to other men.

Treatment methodology related with steroid pills can prove to be an effective option for improving survival rate of patients with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow. This finding was revealed by researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

James Berenson, M.D., lead author of the Southwest Oncology Group sponsored study and Director of the Multiple Myeloma and Bone Metastasis Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said that using prednisone in response to an upfront chemotherapy may be considered as a safe option for prolonging life of patients of multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow.

From News.Bio-Medicine.Org:

Multiple myeloma occurs when the body makes an abnormally high number of cancerous plasma cells. When healthy, plasma cells help to protect the body from infection and disease by forming antibodies that attack foreign substances. But when the body makes too many plasma cells that all make the same type of antibody, this leads to multiple myeloma, causing damage to bones, severe bone pain, an overabundance of calcium in the blood, anemia, and a weakening of the immune system. Today, most patients with multiple myeloma receive initial treatment with chemotherapy or with high-dose chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant and many respond to treatment and achieve remission. However, all patients ultimately relapse with incurable disease, leading physicians to search for ways to prolong remission for as long as possible by using some type of maintenance therapy.

The involved researchers remarked that maintenance of remission and prolonging of life years are facilitated when patients are administered with oral prednisone in the long-term after chemotherapy treatment.

Ring Talk radio host Pedro Fernandez recently did an interview with boxer, Kermit Cintron regarding the upcoming Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto HBO fight.

According to Cintron, he believes that Pacquiao is on steroids or some kind of performance-enhancing drug.

Cintron doubts Pacquiao’s sudden weight gain from 112 lbs to 147 lbs. According to the boxer, most people who come up to a weight like that holds water weight and looks soft. However, in the case of Pacquiao, it looks like his muscles are just so ripped. Cintron even referred to Pacquiao looking like Bruce Lee.

Although Cintron is not sure what Manny Pacquiao was taking, he is definite that the pound for pound king is taking something. His looks, according to Cintron is just questionable.

Aside from this opinion, Cintron also predicted that Pacquiao would lose over Miguel Cotto on Saturday.

A few months ago, Floyd Mayweather Sr. also threw accusations on Pacquiao, saying that the world champion is using steroids and that is precisely what is helping him win his fights. Mayweather Sr. insisted that the reason Pacquiao always comes clean in his drug tests was that people around him are not willing to speak up about what they know.

From Now Boxing:

In a radio interview with Ring Talk, host Pedro Fernandez asked boxer Kermit Cintron about the upcoming HBO Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight, Kermit Cintron, who fights at the 147 and 154 pound weight classes, told Fernandez that he believes Manny Pacquiao is on some type of  steroids/enhancers.

Floyd 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.

Total Non-stop Action Wrestling, the second largest wrestling promotion, behind WWE is noted not to have a wellness policy.

TNA must seriously consider establishing a wellness policy as media would normally turn to WWE every time a wrestler gets busted for steroids or drug use.

There are number of reasons why TNA should have a wellness policy. It includes getting the message across that steroids and other performance enhancing drugs are not tolerated in professional wrestling.

TNA gives the impression of offering an open door for anyone using steroids, PEDs and painkillers.

Ex-WWE wrestlers involved in steroids issue usually enter TNA after being released from WWE. This creates a very negative impression on TNA.

Having a wellness policy improves TNA’s credibility, as more viewers become attracted to the company. Many wrestlers also prefer to work in a company with a clean and honest reputation to avoid their reputation from being tarnished in return.

A wellness policy is also one means to control future “accidents” or deaths in the future. Several wrestlers have wasted their life over drugs, stars such as the late Andrew “Test” Martin or Curt “Mr. Perfect” Henning.

Finally, media would less likely criticize pro wrestling if wrestlers come out clean. Nobody wants pro wrestling destroyed just because of controversies such as wrestlers getting caught from using steroids.

From Bleacher report:

Even I have called TNA out on some of these issues but something that grinds my gears about TNA, and something that strangely no one has brought up, is that they have yet to establish a wellness policy.

As of right now, TNA has no wellness policy at all, not even one in basic form.

It has been confirmed that current WWE Intercontinental Champion, Rey Mysterio will be suspended for thirty days due to a violation of WWE’s Wellness Policy.

Details of the suspension such as the starting date and the specific violation were not known.

Speculations that Mysterio was suspended due to steroid use have been rapidly arising. He was previously caught with steroids a few years back. However, abuse of pain killers were not recorded previously.

It is possible that he would be forced to transfer his Intercontinental Champion title to Dolph Ziggler.

With this move, WWE proved to the public that they do not favor any of their players, even the current champ himself. People may think that Mysterio could just walk away with the Wellness Policy violation.

The champ would be back in time for the Survivor Series but will miss the Mysterio / Ziggler 3 at Breaking Point. WWE officials will have to postpone the fight because of the suspension.

Any abuse, may it be of steroid or painkiller is never a good thing, especially for athletes like Rey Mysterio. He does not even need to use steroids or any performance-enhancing drug given the fact that he already achieved the current WWE intercontinental title.

According to Bleacher Report:

It is 100 percent true that Rey Mysterio, the WWE’s current Intercontinental Champion is going to be suspended for 30 days for violating the WWE’s Wellness Policy.

Nandrolone is form of anabolic steroid, known to be consumed by athletes to enhance body’s capacity to perform at its best and reduce the physical exertion caused due to training. It is primarily synthesized form the male hormone called the testosterone and also promotes the building of muscle mass in the body. Where intake of these steroids has been banned by many sports, their exact effect on the body is still a question of scientific debate.

However, the question is here whether the tests for the steroid called nandrolone is conclusive or not. On one hand even if the tests indicate the intake of this anabolic steroid to develop muscle growth and strength, this might not always act against the athlete who had consumed it.

From BBC:

Even though a drug test may indicate that the subject has apparently taken nandrolone to boost muscle growth and increase strength, this does not necessarily prove wrongdoing.

It is possible that the body may naturally create a form of nandrolone, particularly if the subject has eaten large quantities of meat contaminated with the substance.

It is also possible that dietary supplements taken perfectly legally by some athletes are broken down by the body to produce the same substances created when nandrolone is broken down.

A proof of this comes from the studies which say that the nandrolone can also naturally formed inside the human body if one consumes large amount of meat contaminated by the steroid. Besides, the fact that the compounds into which some dietary supplements are broken down are exactly similar to the ones formed when nandrolone is created reveal that the athlete cannot always be accused of taking them.

A few names that have been tested positive for nandrolone include Linford Christie, sprinter, Merlene Ottey, sprinter, Mark Richardson, swimmer, Korda, Czech, tennis player, Djamel Bouras, judo player and Igor Shalimov, footballer.

Mixed martial arts player Nick Diaz admits to using marijuana just before every fight in the UFC. Now, he’s not following after A-Rod’s confession to steroid use. He did that because he was forced to after the drug test results were leaked to the press. Diaz admitted to using marijuana because he is honest. For those who want honesty in the field of professional sports Diaz is the guy.

He openly declares that he had been using cannabis and he enjoys it. He even disclosed that he can even avoid positive results during drug tests. According to Diaz he simply detoxifies by drinking herbal cleansers, downs a lot of water, and sweats the same amount. This regimen flushes out the traces of marijuana from his bloodstream. He considers it better than taking steroids.

From The LA Times:

What Diaz brings beyond flying fists and the ability to shut off a foe’s breathing by holding the opponent’s throat against his bottom leg is unbending honesty about his marijuana use, his frustration with his former bosses at the Ultimate Fighting Championship and his belief that steroids are pervasive in his sport.

“Let ‘em do it, they’ll have a shorter career than me,” said Diaz (18-7 with 10 knockouts, five submissions and a no-contest). “With all that wear and tear on their tendons, something’s going to explode. I feel like these guys are hurting themselves. You can’t consistently fight on steroids.”

Marijuana is a banned substance according to the state athletic commission. Diaz has actually been suspended for using them in 2007 before he fought against Japan’s Takanori Gomi. He also paid a fine and was not allowed to compete for 6 months. Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission says that marijuana can be damaging to the body. Diaz on the other hand qualifies his use, saying it is therapeutic for his attention deficit disorder.

On Saturday, Diaz will be fighting Frank Shamrock who is a veteran in the MMA. Shamrock considers it a very important fight. Kizer made a recommendation that he will be tested before the fight.
