I hate these discussions, would just like for them to playout BUT, let's not say that suspecting Holyfield of steroid use is degrading. The fact is, a guy named Evan Fields was on the client list for a company that was selling HGH, and the number attached to that name was Evander Holyfield's own personal cell phone.
Now of course, I'm sure there are 1000 explanations for this, but I wouldn't come to hard from either side of the equation. Steroids have been culture in sports for a long time. Especially in the late 80's when Holyfield moved up to heavyweight. Now that doesn't prove anything one way or the other, but that is just what the deal is right now. Steroids being a cheating supplement is a relatively new idea.
They used to be just part of getting in shape and building muscle, Jim Haslett tried to acknowledge that and got absolutely slammed because of the stigma now attached to steroid use.
Who knows what the deal is, but I think everyone should cool down a bit, not call Evander a cheat right now but not call anyone who is suspicious a hater or anything of that sort either because right now we don't know.
