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.

Contrary to previous reports that Vince McMahon did not encourage the use of steroids, it seems that the selection process for wrestlers in the World Wrestling Entertainment had everything to do with the use of the banned substances. Jim Cornette, veteran commentator, promoter and booker for wrestling, expressed his sentiments over the condition of what wrestling has become today.

He says that wrestlers are forced to get into drugs because their professional career relies heavily on their physical appearance – powerful built, extremely muscular and vicious. The only way to achieve this is if they inject anabolics.

From PWTorch:

Cornette views Andrew “Test” Martin as an example of a wrestler being re-hired because he has a certain look and not for any additional talent he could bring to the table. Cornette says Martin probably felt the need to look a certain way, which required use of steroids.

“As far as Test goes, it’s a tragedy that a guy is 33 years old and is gone because he got involved in professional wrestling,” Cornette said recently on the Who’s Slamming Who podcast. “In the old days, everybody was a cowboy and if they did drugs, they did it for recreation because they were making too much money. That’s almost easier to take, to me, than guys feeling like they have to do drugs to keep a job or they have to do drugs because their bodies are so broken down from the style that they get addicted to them.”

Cornette also gave an analyzed that because of the decrease in job opportunities for professional wrestlers and the pressure of giving the audience hardcore entertainment had them turning into drugs. As in the case of Martin who got fire and was re hired because he looked bigger and more muscular, that is after he used steroids. Vince McMahon has to accept the fact that wrestling is a dying business and careers in WWE are short lived especially for the newcomers.

Autopsy results for Andrew “the Test” Martin’s death will be released two weeks from now and Vince McMahon receives advice on how to handle the possible media onslaught. Martin’s demise is the latest in the series of steroids-related deaths in the WWE. Wrestler Chris Benoit murdered his wife and son then he took his own life. Eddie Guerrero, died of a heart attack which was also attributed to his long term use of steroids. With Martin’s death happening at the height of steroid scandal in the world of professional sports, McMahon can only do so much to keep the media mayhem at bay which could probably be worse than what he had gone through with Benoit.

From The Associated Content:

Even before the autopsy results come back for Andrew “Test” Martin, Vince McMahon and the WWE should prepare for the worst. One suggestion of prep that I have is that they should prepare to point out that in Andrew “Test” Martin’s last stint in the WWE (2006-2007), he was suspended for a violation of the WWE’s Wellness Program. He tested positive for either steroids or pain killers in a random test and was disciplined. During the suspension, he was subsequently let go from the company. Martin later stated that he had asked for his release.

Vince McMahon and the WWE should also prepare to point out the fact that the number of Wellness Program violations have decreased in the last year in the main roster for the company. It should be pointed out that the main roster has finally gotten the clue that these violations are not tolerated. Most of the suspensions in the last year have been from development contract wrestlers, not the big names.

Vince McMahon and the WWE should also point out the current push in the company to gear their type of entertainment to a younger generation. The WWE and Vince McMahon should press the fact that there is no place for steroids, pain killers, or drugs in programming that is geared towards children. Gone are the days of the Vince McMahon suicide angle. They should point out that they are in the business of making heroes, not losers.

McMahon and WWE should start planning on some damage control especially since Martin’s death would definitely put them on the center ring. Media vs. McMahon and WWE. And this time the WWE can’t rely on their muscles to knockout the opponent. When it comes to the steroid issue, the media can be pretty vicious.

America’s favorite pastime has become tainted with too much of the steroid controversy. Big names in the Major League have been dragged into the limelight and in court to defend or confess their use of steroids. Rodriguez, Clemens, McGwire and Bonds are few of the names that had received so much attention because of their involvement with the banned substances. It didn’t matter whether they were guilty or not guilty.

But in Northern Nevada, McQueen Lancers High School are trying to redeem the name of baseball by launching their anti-steroids campaign to educate the young athletes of the dangers of using performance enhancing drugs with the hopes of conquering the battle against these banned substances.

From News 4:

“These people they look up, their idols, unfortunately are in the media way too often for breaking rules and making baseball a dirty game right now,” McQueen Head Coach Brian Nelson said. “So we are just trying to send a message that we are going to do it the right way, and that’s keep it clean.”

Anti-steroid banners are posted throughout McQueen’s stadium, including on the outfield fences, the dugout, and the snack bar.

The McQueen Baseball Boosters Club received the $50 thousand grant that made the campaign possible. They applied for the M.L.B.’s Baseball Tomorrow Fund grant and received the money for the anti-steroids campaign and field renovations.

Coach Nelson says that steroids doesn’t seem to be a problem among Northern Nevada student athletes although with all the media hype about steroids use in the Major League, they could be influenced into using the performance enhancing drugs. When they see their idols using steroids, it is not a remote possibility that they too would start trying them. It usually begins with high school kids wanting to get college scholarships, then college students wanting to get into the pros.
