All in all, solid selections.
No complaints. How about you? Any complaints?

If they have his samples they can re-test it. I just can not see Evander using steroids at least at cruiserweight.Quote:

My interest in the sport has dwindled though in recent years so unless they decide to move it into the neighbouring street to me one year I doubt I'll ever go
