I know everyone always talks about this and bout how Pryor looked revitalised from it. But im just wondering what the hell could absorb into your body that quick to have such an effect. Even energy drinks, caffein and other substances (unless we are talking speed or something) would take around 20 mins to take full effect. Whats everyones take on this (plus caffein based products would also dehydrate so wouldnt be the best idea) ?
If we're to believe Luis Resto then antihistamine to get more oxygen in the blood.
Pretty sure I heard it was Four Loko ;)
A pick me up called whiskey.
Pretty safe to say it wasn't Nestles Quick
Yeah. Think Luis said it was a drug that opens up your lungs, enabling you to take in more oxygen.Quote:

I don't know of any substance that could have had an immediate impact. If the first time Pryor drank from the bottle was after the 13th round I don't think it matterred. I find Luis Resto to be an utterly unreliable witness. Regardless of what it was Panama Lewis at least TRIED to cheat. Scumbag!
spunk
They didn't drug test Pryor after the fight either did they? There was suspicion that cocaine was in the bottle, but I buy Resto's story.
Panama Lewis has earned his place in the gutter.
He did not show up for the post fight mandatory urine test and nobody did a thing.Quote:

And the fact it happened after the 13th round, i find it hard to believe they found something that could be so effective in 6 minutes.Quote:

I was under the impression it was the drug that is in asthma reliever inhalers. They make it easier for you to breathe by opening the airways wider.
I would of thought that would need to be inhaled, being an asthmatic myself Ive alway been under the impression that something like that would need to go directly into the lungs. If it was to help get oxygen into his blood cells then thats a different story, but that wouldnt react straight away I wouldnt think. Does anyone think this could of been a placebo effect? Maybe Pryors trainer told him that this stuff would make him stronger in the later rounds and he believed it so much that he put more effort in thinking it was working?Quote:

That's what Luis Resto claimed in Assault in the Ring. I don't find Resto credible.Quote:

Agreed. In that film he was also so emotionally wrought and unsteady it seemed he'd have said almost anything anyone wanted him to say. I know my pity should be reserved for the Collins family, but I couldn't help but feel bad for what Resto is.Quote:
