  Wife defends Juan Dixon over steroids

Posted Byi steroids

Wife defends Juan Dixon over steroidsThe former NBA player and Maryland star, Juan Dixon, who delivered an anti-steroid message to the Congress, may have tested positive for using an over-the-counter supplement, his wife said.

Robyn Dixon, his wife, said in an interview with The Baltimore Sun that Juan was of the view that there was nothing wrong in the over-the-counter supplement, Juan was however unavailable for any comment.

From Articles.Baltimoresun.com:

Dixon was indefinitely suspended Friday, according to the Spanish team Unicaja, which said he had a positive result for Nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, during a test conducted in Greece. Dixon had played in Greece late last year before joining Unicaja.

Unicaja’s Web site said that the suspension was imposed by Switzerland-based FIBA, the basketball governing body, and would last at least until the issue is resolved.

Robyn Dixon, who lives in the family’s home in Silver Spring with the couple’s two young children, said her husband’s urine sample is to be tested again next Monday.

His wife said she didn’t know which supplement might have triggered the positive. She said the player, Maryland’s career scoring leader, will “go into GNC and see something and say, ‘I’ll try this.’ It’s probably something more to help the muscles repair.”

E-mails to FIBA requesting information about Dixon’s case were not immediately returned Sunday night.

It is worth remembering here that Juan Dixon testified in 2005 by a U.S. House committee and said that he and other NBA players had succeeded “through hard work and dedication to our dreams, not through the use of steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs.”

  Steroids and Sports sharing an unchallenged relationship

Posted Byi steroids

Steroids and Sports sharing an unchallenged relationshipAnabolic steroids and sports are sharing an unchallenged and successful relationship despite tall claims and measures by doping and government authorities. The fact that steroids allow sportsmen to realize their true potential and aim for greater heights is something that brings sportsmen to take on steroids.

 

From Entertainment.howstuffworks.com:

 

A steroid is a chemical substance derived from cholesterol. The body has several major steroid hormones — cortisol and testosterone in the male, estrogen and progesterone in the female. Catabolic steroids break down tissue, and anabolic steroids build up tissue. Anabolic steroids build muscle and bone mass primarily by stimulating the muscle and bone cells to make new protein.

Athletes use anabolic steroids because they increase muscle strength by encouraging new muscle growth. Anabolic steroids are similar in structure to the male sex hormone, testosterone, so they enhance male reproductive and secondary sex characteristics (testicle development, hair growth, thickening of the vocal cords). They allow the athlete to train harder and longer at any given period.

Anabolic steroids are mostly testosterone (male sex hormone) and its derivatives. Examples of anabolic steroids include:

  •  Testosterone
  •  Dihydrotestosterone
  •  Androstenedione (Andro)
  •  Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
  •  Clostebol
  •  Nandrolone

While some individuals may want to spread bad words about anabolic steroids, the underlying truth is that steroids do not cause any harm unless abused or of a low-grade quality. They are best taken under medical guidance and as per recommendations so that top-notch performance is easily attainable.

  Pakistan fast bowler feels betrayed for positive testing

Posted Byi steroids

Pakistan fast bowler feels betrayed for positive testingMohammad Asif, Pakistan fast bowler, has claimed that he was unfairly treated for testing positive during steroid testing.

The Courier Mail quoted Asif, ““I had a very strong case, but they didn’t actually listen. Nobody was with me, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was on the back foot. I was just alone and had to handle the whole thing. I will tell everything when the time comes. It’s not the right time … It was a very difficult time for me,”

From Dawn.com:

He vowed to “tell everything” about his drug dramas. Banned for a year for testing positive to steroid nandrolone during the inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008, Asif has only just returned to Test cricket.

The lanky paceman began his Test career against Australia at Sydney in January 2005. Before returning to the Test fold against New Zealand last month after playing against South Africa at Lahore in October 2007, Asif had claimed 51 wickets in 11 Tests.

People who knew Asif suggested that Asif could be a serious menace to batsmen from Australia during the upcoming series between Pakistan and Australia. Asif vows that he will be at his level best against Australia as he is presently reaching peak fitness level.

  Relationship between steroids and sport under no threat

Posted Byi steroids

Relationship between steroids and sport under no threatDespite tall claims from WADA and government officials, one can easily say that the relationship between steroids and sport is under no threat and is growing more than ever. The fact that steroids are being sold over the Internet easily and without a medical prescription is something that says it all.

However, what most of us are ignorant about is the fact that steroids are not bad for any of us and actually help in treating severe health complications and adding “flavor” to professional sporting events.

Recent studies have been very clear in suggesting that the use of anabolic steroids in the world of medicines is not without a valid reason. Thousands of people have benefited from steroids and people who say steroids are bad or harmful to health must first read those study papers.

  Barnett’s appeal for extension granted by CSAC

Posted Byi steroids

Barnett’s appeal for extension granted by CSACIn 2002, the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) due to testing positive for steroids use suspended Josh Barnett, 31, for six months. His post-fight urinalysis revealed traces of three anabolic agents, namely, Boldenone metabolite, Fluoxymesterone metabolite and Nandrolone metabolite. This was after he defeated Randy Couture at UFC 36, which earned him the heavyweight title. Despite the positive steroids test, he denied using any anabolic steroids, and even challenged NSAC’s testing protocol.

Last July, he requested for a re-licensure and filed an appeal before the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC). However, on July 21, Barnett was notified by CSAC that he again tested positive for the anabolic steroid 2a-methyl-5a-androstan-3a-ol-17-one, in his pre-test supposedly as a pre-requisite to renew his license. A second sample was obtained, also reflecting the same results as the first testing.

Last Monday, CSAC granted his appeal to extend his hearing. It was re-scheduled on December 8, 2009.

According to CSAC Interim Executive Officer David T. Thornton, it was Barnett’s attorney, Michael DiMaggio, who contacted the commission to request for an extension. According to DiMaggio, their law firm is still awaiting additional information from the UCLA laboratory that conducted Barnett’s tests.

From Sherdog:

LOS ANGELES –- Josh Barnett was granted a second extension Monday for an appeals hearing the fighter had requested after the California State Athletic Commission denied his re-licensure in late July due to a positive pre-test for an anabolic steroid. The new hearing will be held on Dec. 8.

  New Jersey regulates steroids use in horses

Posted Byi steroids

New Jersey regulates steroids use in horsesJust like the new rule proposed by New Jersey Racing Commission executive director Frank Zanzuccki for standardbreds, a similar rule was proposed regarding the testing program and penalties for anabolic-androgenic steroids use in thoroughbreds.

Last Monday, officials of the New Jersey Racing Commission proposed that thoroughbred racehorses’ use of anabolic steroids must be banned. It could be permitted at very low specified levels, provided it cannot affect the horse’s performance in a race. Four anabolic steroids, namely, boldenone, nandrolone, stanozolol and testosterone, in trace amounts below 200 picograms/ milliliter are approved for use in horses. Trainers caught violating this policy could have their license suspended and a hefty fine will be imposed.

According to the commission, the new rule could be a positive deterrent on the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids. It will possible reduce the number of competing horses with anabolic steroids in their system.

It would help promote fairness in wagering, thus result in promotion of horseracing. It could significantly improve the racetrack attendance rate as well as the number of those who wager.

This new rule would be similar to those implemented in more than 20 states in recent years.

From Asbury Park Press:

New Jersey regulations lagged until a state appeals court reversed a ruling that prevented officials from pursuing new guidelines. An organization representing horsemen had argued that the racing commission acted before a study on the topic had been completed.

  Relationship between sports and steroids goes stronger than ever

Posted Byi steroids

Relationship between sports and steroids goes stronger than everThe relationship between steroids and sports is getting stronger and stronger with each passing day despite the fact that sports and anabolic steroids are condemned by former sportsmen, sporting bodies, and even some of the steroid-using sportsmen of the past.

Even though steroids are considered to be totally harmful by some, the truth is that they are not harmful and does not bring any side effects with them.

From Entertainment.howstuffworks.com:

If one has a close look at the abovementioned facts, it can be easily derived that anabolic steroids are nothing but exceptional products that have no side effects until lack of knowledge or over-dependence leads to steroid abuse.

  Pakistani cricketer undergoes another dope test

Posted Byi steroids

Pakistani cricketer undergoes another dope testAfter his one-year ban, which started this February, but was backdated to September last year, Mohammad Asif was finally eligible to play for the Champions Trophy.

Last Thursday, the Pakistan fast bowler was taken by the International Cricket Council for a mandatory drug testing.

According to a member of the team management, the test was nothing out of the ordinary. It was conducted in compliance with the ICC anti-steroid policy.

Asif had previous records of testing positive in his doping tests. He tested positive for nandrolone first at the Indian Premiere League and second, at the Champions Trophy in 2006 held in India.

He pleaded ignorance over the use of the substance. He was initially banned but an appeal was made so the punishment was scrapped.

He continued to create controversies, and by June 1, 2008, he was detained in Dubai airport for allegedly possessing opium. He was finally deported and no case was filed against him.

Pakistan will play against India this Saturday but it is still unconfirmed if Asif will be able to play. In their tournament opener where Pakistan played against the West Indies, the Pakistani bowler was also not included.

From ESPN cricinfo:

Mohammad Asif, the Pakistan fast bowler, was taken for an ICC dope test during a team practice session in Johannesburg on Thursday. Asif has tested positive twice before for the steroid nandrolone, once at the inaugural IPL last year, and ironically, once just before the last Champions Trophy in India in 2006.

  Use of Anabolic Steroids in Sports

Posted Byi steroids

Use of Anabolic Steroids in SportsMost of us do not seem to have a clear understanding when it comes to use of anabolic steroids in sports or bodybuilding.

Let us find what anabolic steroids are and how they benefit professional athletes and bodybuilders to excel at competitive events.

From Entertainment.howstuffworks.com:

Anabolic Steroids
A steroid is a chemical substance derived from cholesterol. The body has several major steroid hormones – cortisol and testosterone in the male, estrogen and progesterone in the female. Catabolic steroids break down tissue, and anabolic steroids build up tissue. Anabolic steroids build muscle and bone mass primarily by stimulating the muscle and bone cells to make new protein.

* Testosterone
* Dihydrotestosterone
* Androstenedione (Andro)
* Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
* Clostebol
* Nandrolone

From the above information, it can be easily concluded that anabolic steroids are excellent options for any one who is expecting to deliver a top-class performance with dedicated efforts.

However, one thing that needs to be noted is that steroids must always be respected and never abused. This is because steroid abuse can lead to mild to serious health consequences.
