I agree... I'm not saying he deliberately juiced up but I'm saying the doping now is not like the doping before. The guys that used to juice before, did it to coincide with the time they were meant to perform which is why they got caught so often.

Now the typical fighter looking to get that edge does it in the start of training or cycles before training so they reap the benefits during training (muscle growth, quick repair/ rest, stamina for longer conditioning that a clean fighter is not able to. This may also be why we have this hemming and hawing over contract signings now a days and then all of sudden, bang the guy signs the contract a month before the fight rather than 3. Because the doping agencies cant start testing you until the contract is signed. By then you've had a chance to do your own test and make sure you test clean enough. I say clean enough because there isn't a zero tolerance rule for some things like clenbuterol or testosterone, you just have to test within the highest tolerance allowed. So if there is someone out there in his 20's that is a genetic freak knuckle dragger, bulked up , cut and has 5 o clock shadow on his eyeballs, its abnormal but natural, the range is adjusted so he's the high end. Now all the guys boosting their testosterone are measuring in at the level of the genetic freak but it still legal as long as they don't test positive for the booster or a masking agent.

So the cycles already done, the muscles already been acquired, the stamina levels raised, and repair agents have allowed them to work out every day rather than every other day. They cycle off and continue training to maintain the muscles already built, keep the fat off, and endurance high. Their body's undergone a physiological change which allows them to do so without the same amount of effort (for a limited amount of time) but PED itself is already fading away. (remember the only way roy jones was able to get down to light heavy for the tarver fight after bulking up naturally with mackie schillstone, was to eat nothing and run so his body would start feeding off the muscle-- which left him weak and drawn with no energy... Continuing to weight train with less food wouldn't do it, neither would eating the same with training less)

If it does indeed boost performance, one has to wonder if the tainted cow is by design. The research I posted previously says the animals break the clenbuterol down into similar compounds (maybe these are more natural or not tested for) and most of the clenbuterol builds up in the organs of the animals. The ingested tainted beef clenbuterol is obviously allowed to a certain degree and similar safer compounds that are also ingested could be the intended results and they are essentially filtering these substances through the cows to make them safer and reduce them to passable levels.




Is that actuaĺ fact that boxers can't be tested until they are contracted to fight?
That's fucking insane if that's the case, in most sports (football in the UK for example) they can turn up or call you in to be tested 24/7 - 365 days of the year.
