Does anyone think Ryan Howard is a roid monkey?

No, but I wouldn't be surprised if he (or any other modern player) was.

[Sgt PSN]

i guess i wouldn't be shocked, but howard comes from a naturally big family.  if he was/is/ever does use anything, my guess would be so that he could recover from injury faster rather than to increase strength and power.

BTW saw this on Facebook:  2004 World Champion Boston Red Sox *

When do we find out that the Celtics cheated?

[MDS]

just about any power hitter from the 90's is guilty. choke is unlikely considering the stricter rules were implemented by the time he came up.

and they do test the power hitters more often, so choke has been tested plenty of times and clearly has passed them.

[QB Eagles]

big lol @ anyone thinking the drugs aren't evolving faster than the tests

ESPN is saying its HCG, a womens fertility drug that is used to mask steroid use.

When you take a performance enhancer - whether it be a pro hormone or steroids - your body dramitically slows down and even sometimes stops its natural production of testosterone due to the influx. HCG is used to get testosterone production up while keeping estrogen levels down. The reason it keeps estrogen down is because your body produces more to balance the unnatural testosterone level. After the cycle is down the estrogen level stays up which is when people get a lot of side effects like bitch tits.

This confirms it:  Manny really is a c*nt.

thanks for the explanation...but what do you mean by cycle? Our bodies produce testosterone in cycles?

[Geowhizzer]

Just goes to show that people feel they are invincible and will never get caught. I don't get that. Maybe he figured farg it, I'm 37...if I get caught, no biggie.

What an icehole.

When you believe that Manny thinks at all, you're already wrong.

[Rome]

Cycle means a rotation of doses.

[hbionic]

Cycle means a rotation of doses.

Thanks. So, another question, how long is one cycle? Anyone here know?

[Rome]

Depends on the juice.  12 weeks is common.  There's another practice called "stacking" which just means you're taking more than steroid at a time.  The theory is you take a full 12 week cycle of say testosterone while at the same time you do a six week cycle of another juice.  When that cycle ends you take something else for the next 6 weeks.  It just depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

[SD_Eagle5]

Rome nailed it.

I've known guys that have stayed on a cycle for 6 months to a year which is ridiculous. Steroids are seriously as addictive as Heroin.

[reese125]

thats a stretch SD..heroin?

dont get me wrong, dudes can get hooked but Ive known plenty of heads that did a cycle or 2 in college and never touched the shtein again to this day

Id like to see someone do a cycle or 2 of heroin and be the same person

This is comment will be utterly retarded and as drug free as I am...there has always been that curiousity about Heroine...like...Doritos commercial, "You can't eat just one". I've always thought...maybe I can just once.

But I'm too big a Hoyda to do anything outside of alcohol at this moment...not that there is a desire to do so either.
