The drugs are WAY AHEAD of the testing. Some of the new PEDS can only be detected through a MUSCLE BIOPSY!! Not urine...not blood....muscle biopsy (you can find plenty of articles on the web from reputable sources about this). Do you think any sports body will be doing radom biopsies for drugs anytime soon? Not to mention the myriad of other designer drugs that most people have no clue about...let alone test for. Would i be shocked if i found out Pac was on PEDS...not at all. Just as i wouldn't be shocked to see other boxers on them...as well as many other famous athletes. Performance enhancers are now a reality in modern sports. We all want to believe are favorite athletes are morally good...but the current climate justifiably raises a lot of suspicions.


I'm completely appalled yet fascinated by this.
