According to a recently concluded study by researchers at the University of Hertfordshire, athletes who are training for the London Marathon can expect to deliver dramatic performance by having a close look at what they are eating and drinking.

It was found by Dr Peter Jones, a Senior Lecturer at the University’s School of Life Sciences that there are some food products and drinks, which can help sportsmen attain maximized energy levels while participating at competitive events.

From News-Medical.Net:

“The improvements in performance were only seen when the carbohydrate loaded was low in GI,” said Matt. “The mechanism behind this may be due to the increases seen in blood glucose throughout the time trial.”

Another research project undertaken by postgraduate student, Nick Tiller, found that athletes could maximise their performance through drinking mixed carbohydrate drinks, as opposed to those containing single carbohydrates only.

“This is important because, for example, if you drink commercially available sports drinks, you can only ingest 70 grammes of maltodextrin per hour, which may not be enough to maximise your performance,” said Dr Jones. “But if you supplement this with, for example fructose, you can open up two channels and increase the amount of glucose available to your body.

“There is no doubt but that the foods that we eat have a significant effect on performance. Those in serious training need to give this more thought if they are to maximise their performance.”

It is worthwhile to note that steroids, just like these food products and drinks, can also offer great gains to sportsmen when taken as per medical advice and instructions. Anabolic steroids such as Winstrol, Deca Durabolin, and Clomid have already proved that they are second to none when it comes to offering advantages to sportsmen for delivering amazing performances on a consistent basis. However, it must always be remembered that steroids and sports must not be mixed in the absence of qualified and complete knowledge so that optimum benefits can be achieved from them.

Anabolic steroids such as Winstrol (Stanozolol) and Anavar (Oxandrolone or Oxandrin) are regaining huge markets in the US marketplace due to their unparalleled benefits and minimal or almost zero side-effects, when used in a discriminate manner.

Though both of these steroids were previously considered to be greeted with suspicious eyes, recent medical developments have suggested that they can be beneficial to everyone from a bodybuilder to a normal individual spending his time in the gymnasium.

From Wikipedia.org:

In bodybuilding stanozolol is typically “stacked” with other testosterone-based anabolic steroids. Stanozolol is liked by many due to the fact it causes strength increases without excess weight-gain, promotes increases in vascularity,[citation needed] and will not convert to estrogen. It also does not cause excess water retention, and even sometimes is thought to have a diuretic effect on the body.[citation needed]

Stanozolol is commonly used by athletes and bodybuilders alike to lose fat while retaining lean body mass. It is usually used in a “cutting cycle”, to help preserve lean body mass while metabolizing adipose, although it has not been proven conclusively that it has any special fat-burning properties.

It is presented most commonly as a 50 mg/mL injection or a 5 mg tablet. However, recently 100 mg/mL versions have become available. A common dosage can be 10-25 mg/day orally and 25-50 mg daily injected, with optimal results usually seen at 50 mg/day. It is reduced to micrometer particles in aqueous suspension and does not have a typical elimination half-life.

Authentic stanozolol can easily be seen, because it will separate in its container if left undisturbed for a number of hours (the micronized crystal will fall to the bottom, and the water suspension will rise to the top). It has a white, milky color

As opposed to most other anabolic steroids Oxandrolone has two major advantages: First, it does not aromatize (convert to estrogen which causes gynecomastia - breast tissue). Second, it does not significantly influence the body’s normal testosterone production (HPTA axis) at low dosages (10mgs). When dosages are high (this goes for any anabolic steroid) then your body feels that it has enough testosterone and it reduces the production of LH (luteinizing hormone) which no longer stimulates Leydig cells in testicles to produce testosterone therefore causing testicular atrophy (shrinking). Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is of course needed for high dosages (40–50 mg) of this synthetic derivative of testosterone because as the dosage increases the influence on HPTA is bigger. Lack of PCT will of course lead to protein catabolism until body’s normal testosterone secretion is back to normal.

In order to reap optimum benefits from Winstrol and Anavar, they can be stacked with other anabolic substances such as Dianabol, Deca Durabolin, and Clomid.

Big Brown, winner of last year’s Kentucky Derby, became popular not just by winning first in the race but also because of steroid issue. Recently, Rick Dutrow Jr., told the media that he did give Big Brown Winstrol every 15th of the month.

Winstrol used to be legal in Kentcucky Derby, but due to the outburst brought by the incident, the use of anabolic steroids was banned. No horse will be allowed to join in the race in Triple Crown series with the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby.

From Daily News:

The steroid ban went into effect on Jan. 1 in almost every racing jurisdiction and had already been adopted by California for last year’s Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita in October.

In October, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association created the Safety and Integrity Alliance, calling for reforms that include the adoption of uniform medication rules and penalties, the ban of steroids, out-of-competition testing for blood and gene doping agents, pre- and post-race veterinary examinations, mandatory on-track injury reporting, enhanced backstretch security and having each track support and maintain an association with qualified retraining and adoption programs for thoroughbreds no longer competing.

The issues on Big Brown and the death of Eight Belles brought awareness on some unfair practices and procedures done on horses. Aside from steroid ban, other changes were made including the banning of toe grabs placed under the horses’ shoes while racing or training. However, investigations on the cause of death of the Belles revealed that no steroid residues were found in the bodies.

Three trainers, Larry Jones, Rick Dutrow Jr. and Michael Matz agreed on the changes done because they all want is the best for their horses. They believe that there should have national body to employ rules on everything on the sport including licensing and medication.

In an effort to control the steroids use in horse racing world, the Michigan Office of Racing Commissioner (ORC) has prohibited any sort of anabolic steroid usage in all race horses at any pari-mutuel track in Michigan. The law has come into effect from the beginning of April of this year.

The rule was based upon the recommendations made by the Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI) and several other national horse racing associations. According to the rule, all horses would now be subject to testing for the presence of anabolic steroids.

As put forward by the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium (RMTC) and ARCI, the Michigan ORC would tag on with the nationally accepted residue thresholds for the four recognized anabolic steroids, Boldenone (Equipoise), Nandrolone, testosterone and metabolite of stanozolol (Winstrol). Along with these, the presence of any other anabolic steroid is also strictly prohibited and the existence of more than one of these four banned drugs at any concentration is not permitted too.

In addition, any sick or injured horse being treated with anabolic steroids would not be permitted to race at a Michigan pari-mutuel track until all remains of the drug has been eliminated.

From Steroidology news:

Historically, trainers have given anabolic steroids to race horses for different reasons including increasing appetite and aggressiveness and promoting muscle development. However, recent events have caused the entire horse racing industry to review the use of steroids.

Based upon recommendations made by the Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI) and a number of other national horse racing associations, steroid use is now deemed contrary to the best interests of race horses and horse racing. As such, beginning on April 1, 2009, the presence of anabolic steroids will be prohibited in all horses entered to race at any pari-mutuel track in Michigan. All horses will now be subject to testing for anabolic steroids.

The Michigan ORC will follow the nationally accepted residue thresholds for the four recognized anabolic steroids listed below as set forth by the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium (RMTC) and the Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI).

Prior to the rule, trainers inject anabolic steroids to race horses for various reasons, including increasing appetite, aggressiveness and muscle development. However, some recent events of steroid abuse formed the basis to review the use of steroids in horse racing industry.

But, the Michigan ORC, before the penalty enforcement begins, would allow a 60-day grace period till June 1, 2009. Only after the date, any tests with the presence of anabolic steroids will be subject to any fine and suspension.

It has been a week since the disputes on Kirk Radomski’s book, “Bases Loaded”, began  coming out. There have been so many factual errors in what he has written that even Sen. Mitchell and Major League Baseball had to release more accurate accounts. This time it is Brian McNamee, the chief accuser and Roger Clemens’ former trainer that gave out a statement contradictory to a passage from Radomski’s book. According to Radomski, McNamee bought steroids from him and had informed him that he injected Clemens with the steroid Winstrol. During his appearance for his deposition with committee investigators, McNamee had a different account than the steroid dealer.

From The New York Times:

“Did you ever indicate to Mr. Radomski that Roger Clemens was using steroids or  Human Growth Hormone” McNamee was asked by a committee investigator.

“No,” McNamee said.

“Did you ever drop hints to that effect?” McNamee was asked, referring to Radomski.

“No,” McNamee said.

McNamee added: “He would ask me how I was doing. You know, obviously he knew I trained him in the off-season.”

“But you’re saying you never told him that Clemens was using these substances?” McNamee was asked.

“Yes,” McNamee said.

Even if McNamee is the more important witness and that they could probably let go of Radomski, the cooperation of the two is essential in swaying the jury to believe the accusation against Clemens. According to a former federal prosecutor, the contradictory statements of McNamee and Radomski would hurt the perjury case and would give Clemens an uncalled for advantage. Ever since the release of his book, Radomski’s credibility has been put into question. The defense can use even the slightest inconsistencies to plant some doubt in the mind of the jury.

The year 2008 is definitely not a good one for Roger Clemens.

He started the year filing a defamation suit against his former strength coach Brian McNamee. McNamee testified that he had injected the seven-time Cy Young awardee during the 1998, 2000, and 2001 seasons with the anabolic steroid Winstrol.

Then in April, New York Daily News revealed Clemens’ illicit affair with country music star Mindy McCready. Their 10-year affair allegedly commenced when the singer was only 15 years old. McCready has her own share of the limelight when she was rushed to the hospital in December for another suicide attempt.

Also occurring on December 2008, McNamee filed a claim in Queens Supreme Court preserving the right to sue Clemens for defamation.
Now, the latest on Clemens is that his once stellar name is being dropped from the Roger Clemens Institute for Sports Medicine, according to the announcement of the Houston’s Memorial Hermann Medical Center. And to think Clemens donated $3 million to Memorial Hermann for its pediatric wing, that news could be a huge devastation to Clemens.

The statement reads: “To better reflect its commitment to all sports and athletes, the facility will transition to become known as the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Institute, effective Jan. 1, 2009. The move reflects a desire to promote the broad range of sports medicine services and programs offered by Memorial Hermann across the greater Houston area.”

More from Daily News

It is the latest headache for Clemens, who saw his reputation and legacy hammered this year following the release of baseball’s Mitchell Report on Dec. 13, 2007, in which Clemens’ former trainer Brian McNamee claimed he injected the pitcher with steroids and human growth hormone several times between 1998 and 2001.
Last month, the Daily News reported that Clemens had been asked to end his involvement with the Giff Nielsen Day of Golf for Kids charity tournament he had hosted the previous four years with Nielsen, the Houston broadcaster and former Oilers quarterback.

“He is dealing with some tough issues,” Nielsen told The News then. “He is dealing with something that is very challenging. The accusations against him are serious. It just made sense to say go take care of these issues and we will revisit the relationship later, when it makes sense. He was very receptive. He was very understanding.”

Clemens is still under investigation by the Justice Department and FBI for perjury after he testified before Congress in February that he never used performance-enhancing drugs. He has continued to deny McNamee’s claims. Clemens filed a defamation suit against McNamee on Jan. 6 in the Southern District of Texas. Several months later, the News exposed his lengthy extramarital relationship with country singer Mindy McCready as well as affairs he had with several other women.

MMAjunkie.com reports that mixed martial Chris Leben is penalized with a nine-month suspension due to failed doping test.

Leben’s promotion, the Ultimate Fighting Championships, handed down the suspension when the middleweight fighter tested positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol in a post-fight screening. Leben was also asked to pay a fine amounting to one-third of the payroll he received at the UFC 89 that took place in Birmingham, England.

Leben lost to English fighter Michael Bisping in said event through unanimous decision.

Leben stated: “I’ve really done everything I can to turn my life around, and this is a huge setback for me, but it is something I will have to deal with. During my time off from fighting, I want to speak to kids about the dangers of using performance enhancing agents and let them know it just doesn’t get you ahead in life. Of course this is a hard hit for me monetarily, but more so this is embarrassing for me and for all of my fans. I apologize to the UFC and everyone who supported me in my fight in England. I hope to work through this and get back to fighting soon.”

Meanwhile, UFC president Dana White said: “I am obviously disappointed with Chris, who has made great strides getting his life back on track. To his credit, he has taken responsibility for his actions and is accepting the punishment that has been handed down. But as always, the UFC puts the safety of its athletes first and foremost, and we won’t tolerate anyone using performance enhancing drugs in our organization.”

Leben is expected to return to the UFC July 2009.

More background info from MMAjunkie.com:

Leben had been scheduled to headline UFC 85 with Bisping in June, but the bout was postponed so that Leben could serve jail time for a previous DUI offense. He hoped jail time wouldn’t be issued and that the move would allow him to secure a visa for the event. However, Leben was sentenced to 35 days in the Clackamas County Jail in Oregon (though he was released early), and the fight was postponed.

Serving the jail time was part of what Leben called a maturation process that followed his move to Hawaii, where he now serves as an MMA instructor at the ICON Fitness and MMA Center. Prior to UFC 89, Leben, who appeared on “The Ultimate Fighter 1″ (with a few drunken rampages), also said he had quit drinking.

Stanozolol, commonly sold as Winstrol (oral) and Winstrol Depot (injectable) is a synthetic steroid derived from testosterone. It has been prescribed to treat diverse conditions in both human and animal patients. In humans, stanozolol is effective in treating anemia and hereditary angioedema. In animals, it is used in promoting muscle growth, appetite, and red blood cell production.

Other MMA fighters who tested positive for this steroid in the past include Phil Baroni, Tim Sylvia, and German-born Kimo Leopoldo.

The province of Ontario recently mourned the death of one of its most respected residents – former Ontario Chief Justice Charles Dubin. He died at the age of 87 on October 27 of complications from pneumonia.

Dubin gained international recognition when he headed the investigation on Ben Johnson’s doping case during the Seoul Olympics in 1988, which the Canadian Press described as “a groundbreaking inquiry into drug use in amateur sport.”

Among those who attended the burial service at the Holy Blossom Temple were Ben Johnson and his coach Charlie Francis. Both praised the former justice for his fairness.
“He gave me a fair shake,” Johnson said after the service.

“I don’t have no hard feelings towards him. He’s a great man in his environment, the law, and I respect that.”

“He did his best to bring everything out and give a chance to say how things were,” Francis said. “He was a great man.”

Dubin served on two Royal Commissions, one of which was the Royal Commission to Inquire into the Use of Drugs and Banned Practices Intended to Increase Athletic Performance in 1988. It was under this commission that Johnson confessed to have used the anabolic steroid stanozolol (Winstrol).

On September 24, 1988 in Seoul, South Korea, Johnson beat his greatest rival American Carl Lewis in the 100m final. Canadians were ecstatic, but then three days their pride turned to embarrassment when Johnson tested positive for doping. He was later stripped of his gold medal and world record.

The disgraced sprinter initially denied wrongdoing; however, when he testified before the Dubin Inquiry in 1989, Johnson admitted illicit activity. Francis told the investigative body that Johnson had been taking steroids since 1981.

The question on everyone’s mind is: Does LL Cool J use anabolic steroids or HGH? did he ever used steroids? or does he look so awesome via magic - maybe Harry Potter used “Magicum Steroidal” spell on him? I guess not.  Reality says that LL Cool J obviously used anabolic steroids, he’s clearly on steroids and/or HGH.  The is probably using Winstrol, Anavar and some Primoblan.  He might be also using some human growth hormone (HGH).

From AOL Sports:

Although Congress and the media have chosen to focus almost exclusively on the use of performance-enhancing drugs among athletes, there’s also a great deal of PED use among Hollywood celebrities, from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone on down.

But one of the celebrities who certainly has the body of a steroid user — and who played a muscular football player in Any Given Sunday — says he has never used them. LL Cool J was on Late Night With Conan O’Brien last night, and when Conan brought up steroids, LL made clear that he doesn’t want to risk the testicular atrophy that is a side effect of steroid use.

“We don’t want the prunes to turn into raisins,” LL said. “I still want to matter at home, not just at the beach.”

I’m not sure that comparing his own testicles to prunes is really where LL wants to go, but point taken: Count LL as one muscular man who says no to steroids.

Winstrol (Stanozolol) Videos

Winstrol (Stanozolol) is a really interesting variant of Dihydrotestosterone. It’s been modified at the A-ring (there’s 4 rings on steroids usually), to make another whole “ring” called a pyrazol group. There’s only one other steroid I’ve ever seen that has a similar modification. Winstrol is a commonly used anabolic steroid for cutting cycles, and certainly it’s been shown clinically to not elicit any really impressive weight gain (if any at all) (1). It’s usually seen as a less expensive alternative to Anavar. And just like Anavar and other DHT derivations, it can not convert to estrogen at any dose, and is not progestenic.  Read more about Winstrol (Stanozolol)
