USADA seeks new way to eliminate doping from cycling

The USADA desires to find out whether you have ever taken steroids, EPO, HGH and/or other forbidden drugs. This fact may surprise you but the anti-doping organization doesn’t intend yet to stop the investigation related to Lance Armstrong’s doping case. Thus, the investigation has not been ended. The USADA plans to investigate every cyclist. Especially suspected steroid users will be investigated.
The USADA desires to apply the best methods in order to catch those that have ever administered banned medicines. What is the best method to clean cycling of steroid use? The USADA tries to define and utilize the best methods. This anti-doping organization is even ready to compare elimination of doping in cycling with that in South Africa.
The USADA says that those that administer steroids and other related medications should be punished. Consumers of steroids and/or other doping products are demonized as if they were criminals. They are frequently compared with those who commit violence and other serious crimes. Steroids are harshly blamed in the society. So, the USADA believes that if steroids and users of steroids are demonized, it will be easier to eradicate doping.
Actually, the USADA asks the International Cycling Association to create a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission will investigate different cases linked with doping. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will try to fix why several cyclists have used anabolic steroids and/or other doping products but avoided detection.
Furthermore, the USADA promises that “amnesty” will be provided to those that admit to taking anabolic steroids and/or other prohibited products, ask for forgiveness, repent and tell everything connected with doping to the anti-doping agency, team physicians, teammates, friends, etc. If a former consumer of steroids says just truth, he will get the full amnesty. Thus, the USADA hopes to clean the sport of cycling entirely.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the USADA, says that there are some cyclists connected with Lance Armstrong that have avoided detection. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission should identify them.

Adderall serves as excuse for those that are caught using steroids

The National Football League is not permitted to disclose details, when players violate anti-doping rules. It is only affirmed that certain persons have tested positive for prohibited preparations. But the League must not report which substances have been administered by these athletes. Thus, several football players lie about medicines that have led to positives.
Why do some football players choose to lie about drugs which have been taken by them? Let explain.
Many football players that fail drug tests say that they have taken Adderall. In fact, they have taken anabolic steroids. Why do they say that they have tested positive for Adderall? What does Adderall represent? This is a drug which is used for treatment of attention-deficit disorder. But this medication is administered not just for this clinical purpose. Athletes and bodybuilders take this medication for athletic goals.
As for anabolic steroids, they are harshly blamed. Many reporters, specialists, anti-doping officials and ordinary individuals claim that these drugs are very dangerous. They may cause various severe side results. Steroids are blamed even for several crimes. But as for Adderall, this medication is not blamed in the society. Thus, numerous football players try to avoid criticism. They don’t desire to be blamed for application of such banned products, as anabolic steroids. Since users of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players claim that they have failed drug tests because they have applied Adderall.
A football player compared this situation with following cases: those that are busted with cocaine tell others that they have applied marijuana because cocaine is more harshly demonized than the last one.
You should not suggest that every football player that says that he has tested positive for Adderall has actually applied anabolic steroids. But it is possible to claim that those that apply Adderall are less demonized than those that apply steroids.

Freddie Roach knows how to make boxing clean

Freddie Roach is a well-known American trainer in boxing. He coaches the prominent boxer Manny Pacquiao. He notes that he knows the best way to eradicate the problem of steroid use in boxing. According to this coach, strength and conditioning coaches should be blamed for application of steroids and other related drugs in this sport. He thinks that they educate boxers to take doping products. Thus, Freddie Roach considers that it is necessary to get rid of each strength and conditioning coach. It will lead to eliminating of doping from boxing.
What does Freddie Roach think about significant changes that have occurred in physique and performance of Juan Manuel Marquez. Actually, there are different opinions about this person and dramatic changes in him. Numerous persons suppose that he has applied steroids that have caused these changes in him. When it comes to Freddie Roach, he supposes that Angel Guillermo Memo Heredia has supplied Juan Manuel Marquez with anabolic steroids.
The trainer Memo Heredia is an admitted distributor of steroids. He acknowledged that he had provided steroids to numerous top athletes. Since he collaborated with feds and revealed names of some athletes that took anabolic steroids, he was not charged with any crimes connected with distribution of anabolic steroids.
Thus, Freddie Roach affirms that strength and conditioning coaches like Memo Heredia should be pushed from boxing. It is the best way to eradicate usage of steroids and other related preparations from boxing.
It is interesting to notice that Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach’s client, has a strength coach too. Does it mean that this famous boxer uses anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines? The trainer Freddie Roach thinks that the strength coach Alex Arizo doesn’t provide steroids to Manny Pacquiao.
Alex Arizo and Memo Heredia are friends. Thus, Alex Arizo tries to defend his friend, affirming that Freddie Roach’s accusations are incorrect. Actually, Freddie Roach says that he doesn’t like to pronounce any accusations connected with intake of anabolic steroids and other related drugs. But he has to do it because this is the essence of boxing.
While Alex Arizo affirms that Memo Heredia doesn’t provide steroids to Marquez, Freddie Roach has own point of view. He continues to believe that Marquez is tainted. According to Freddie Roach, dramatic physical transformations of this athlete display that he administers steroids and/or other doping products.

Has Moustafa Ismail increased his arms naturally?

Moustafa Ismail, an Egyptian bodybuilder, has the largest biceps in the world. He was recorded in the Guinness book of the world records. This person says that his large arms are natural. The bodybuilder claims that he has the largest arms in the world because he has too strict diets and trainings. The Egyptian bodybuilder eats chickens, almonds and fish every day. The bodybuilder also consumes much water and protein shakes.
However it is evident that diets and workouts have substantial role, numerous people doubt about natural arms of Moustafa Ismail. It is difficult to believe that suitable workouts and nutrition can lead to such enhancement in arms. Which conditions are responsible for the massive arms of the Egyptian bodybuilder?
When it was published that Moustafa Ismail’s arms were 32 inches, accusations connected with application of steroids appeared immediately. Some individuals believe that steroids are responsible for the massive arms of this person. What did Moustafa Ismail affirm about usage of steroids? He affirmed that he had used anabolic steroids while living in Egypt. Purchase and usage of these medicines are legal under laws of this country. These products are getable at any pharmacy in Egypt. Moreover, anabolic steroids are not expensive there. But Moustafa Ismail noted that he had to discontinue taking these products, when he moved to the USA. It is know that purchase and administration of these medications without a prescription are considered to be illicit under laws of the US. These products are bought on the black market by those that take them in the US illegally. So, Moustafa Ismail stopped taking these medications after he moved to the USA.
But if even Moustafa Ismail administers steroids, it doesn’t matter because these medications don’t increase arms. They are not responsible for the bodybuilder’s large arms.
There are other remedies which can increase arms. They are called “site enhancement oils” (SEO). Synthol is one of the most frequently applied SEO. This product is applied by bodybuilders. It is taken in order to increase muscles in circumference. Thus, it is suggested that the Egyptian bodybuilder administers Synthol. However, Moustafa Ismail says that he doesn’t use this product.
Moustafa Ismail affirms that he is hurt by accusations linked with anabolic steroids and Synthol. He has been subjected to examination conducted by an independent doctor that hasn’t seen any abnormality in the arms of this person. So, it is not clear whether the bodybuilder’s arms are natural or not.

No one should blame 7-time Tour de France winner for usage of doping products in cycling

However you probably don’t know anything about Scott Mercier, his statements linked with usage of doping products in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This man belonged to the US Postal Cycling team prior to Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Certain affirmations of Scott Mercier revealed the truth which was hidden in cycling.
Actually, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made wrong conclusions related to role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The celebrated American cyclist was accused and found guilty of intake of forbidden drugs throughout his athletic career. While it may be true, the USADA affirmed that Lance Armstrong promoted doping in professional cycling. But these affirmations turned out to be wrong. Why? Which words were pronounced by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier affirmed that their team doctor Pedro Celaya had a special program for the US Postal Cycling team. He discussed about the program with every rider. Pedro Celaya claimed that they had to ride 200-250 km each day. Moreover, the doctor established doping program which had to accompany workouts. Thus, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s sportspersons with steroids, EPO and some other preparations.
These guidelines were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong didn’t ride professionally. This man experienced testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that Lance Armstrong would not be capable to ride professionally. His cancer spread on other parts of his body, including brain. After Lance Armstrong experienced chemotherapy he got recovery. So, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any link to the team. He didn’t induce taking steroids and other related preparations in professional cycling. It became obvious that doping was organized by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional cyclists applied Andriol. Then they applied testosterone patches. Under recommendations of Pedro Celaya riders used the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping officers.

Despites steroid past, Melky Cabrera succeeds in baseball

Intake of anabolic steroids and some other medications is banned in many sports organizations, including the Major League Baseball (MLB). Athletes who are caught administering forbidden substances are sentenced to bans, fines, etc. However sportspeople know about these factors, many of them continue administering anabolic steroids and/or other forbidden medicines. As a result, several sportspeople spoil their athletic reputation wholly. Nevertheless, some sportspersons succeed, if even they are caught by anti-doping officers.
Let take the MLB player Melky Cabrera as an example. This athlete played baseball for San Francisco Giants. He was claimed to be one of the best baseball players. It was believed that he promoted winning evidentially. But after he tested positive for a steroid, he was sentenced to a 50-game suspension.
Melky Cabrera put efforts to change the decision and appealed it. He claimed that a dietary supplement caused his positive. Several individuals tried to help him in that situation. So, a fake website was created. An advertisement for non-existing supplement was posted. But the cheat was unmasked. Melky Cabrera had to serve the suspension.
While he was suspended, the San Francisco Giants saw that they could win without him.
Recently Melky Cabrera obtained a $16 million contract. He will play for the Toronto Blue Jays.
 As you see, administration of steroids couldn’t destruct the athletic career of the Dominican baseball player. He continues to play baseball professionally and earn great sums of money.
This is just an example that displays that intake of banned preparations doesn’t destruct athletic careers in some situations.

Steroids compose Spawn sold by Myogenix

Dietary supplements companies often market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. So, they sell these illegal products. They trick the Drug Enforcement Administration and customers who acquire such remedies. As a result, several sportspersons test positive for forbidden substances while they affirm that they have never applied any steroid or another forbidden drug. Dietary supplements companies must be punished for such situations.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company that is located in California. This company acknowledged that they sold a synthetic steroid which was marketed as a nutrition supplement. It was called Spawn. It was made of the following compounds: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. So, the supplement Spawn consisted of 2 steroids but it was labeled as a dietary supplement.
The company Myogenix admitted that they had sold Spawn since 2007 till 2009. Myogenix was enforced to pay a $500.000 fine. Furthermore, the company forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, products manufactured and sold by the company Myogenix will be tested for five years by an independent organization. All new dietary supplements should be controlled carefully and approved by the FDA before the company may sell them.
In fact, the company Myogenix should thank the lawyer Rick Collins that has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company effectively. No one went to jail. This defense attorney was hired to defend also other companies that were linked to the website Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced just to fines and money forfeitures.
