I think it's just as stupid to assume that the first time someone gets caught for something it means they have been doing it all along or multiple times since then...sure it might occur that way most of the time but it's still an assumption either way and what I was saying was the only FACT there is about Vitali using steroids is one failed test over 10 years ago while Vitali was an amateur boxer.

....I also think it's ignorant for everyone to assume a PhD means that you have any kind of understanding about medicine or steroids specifically. Vitali has a PhD in Sports Science which is basically the study more of diet, body types, exercises, nutrition, motor control, biomechanics, physiology, psychology, etc.....no where does it say anything about chemistry or pharmacology.

To take one test and fail it before your professional career starts and to have people dislike you for it is a little strong....he's been tested several times since then and hasn't failed one since...I think that deserves more credit than the one failed test. If he used again he would have been caught by now.
