Lance Armstrong doesn’t deny doping

Lance Armstrong was denying doping for years. Although he was accused of administering prohibited preparations many times, he continued to claim that he never applied banned products. Even when the USADA proved that the cyclist doped, he cheated about doping. But ultimately, Lance Armstrong decided to admit to applying EPO, testosterone and blood transfusions.
However many athletes took performance-enhancing drugs and avoided detection successfully, there was something unusual in the doping case of Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong reached great success in sports. He obtained 7 Tour de France titles. He won also certain other awards. The American cyclist obtained worldwide success. However he was subjected to many drug tests, he never tested positive for any banned substance.
Of course, the American cyclist is not the only athlete who has doped. Sportspersons have used prohibited medicines during past years. They continue to take steroids and other related preparations nowadays. And professional sportspersons will apply them in future. Administration of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is spread in professional sports. Almost each athlete applies forbidden medications. While certain sportspersons test positive for prohibited drugs and receive bans, others avoid detection.
As for the attitude towards Lance Armstrong’s doping, it’s mainly negative. A lot of persons got significant anger, when the well-known cyclist admitted to applying EPO, the steroid testosterone and blood transfusions. Many individuals believed in him. They thought that the legendary American cyclist was “clean”. That’s why their disappointment was significant.
And what is about “clean” sports? Anti-doping officers should think about this issue. While anti-doping officers state that they have sophisticated tests to combat doping in sports, many sportspersons apply anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs and remain undetectable.
While Lance Armstrong has admitted to taking banned products, anti-doping officials should realize that their programs are improper.

Przemyslaw Saleta: Lance Armstrong is just one of thousands athletes that dope

Przemyslaw Saleta’s opinion about Lance Armstrong’s deception differs from that of numerous persons. The polish boxer doesn’t condemn the American cyclist. Przemyslaw Saleta claims that Lance Armstrong has acted like almost each professional sportsperson. The 7-time Tour de France winner has administered prohibited preparations and cheated about his doping. It’s not surprising. Almost each athlete uses steroids and other related medicines.
While numerous sportspersons that use banned medicines are caught by anti-doping officials and sentenced to suspensions, Lance Armstrong has never tested positive for any prohibited drug. He was not caught, despites of having been subjected to many drug tests. Of course, It goes without saying that Lance Armstrong is not the only athlete who has avoided detection successfully. Let take Chinese athletes as an example! The state sponsors them. The state provides money enough to obtain such products which are undetectable. So, numerous Chinese sportspersons apply performance-enhancing drugs without being caught. It becomes evident that sportspersons that have much money may take doping products and remain undetectable. Lance Armstrong tuned out to be only one of such sportspersons.
The polish boxer Przemyslaw Saleta has an unusual proposal. He believes that anabolic steroids and other related preparations should be legalized in professional sports. According to this sportsman, anabolic steroids and other doping products are not dangerous for health, if they are applied by adults that possess sufficient information about methods to consume them properly. Przemyslaw Saleta considers that application of steroids and other doping products by sportspeople should be monitored by doctors. Thus, athletes are likely to avoid severe unwanted consequences.
Moreover, Przemyslaw Saleta considers that anabolic steroids and other related medications are indispensible in such sports, as cycling. Cycling is a sport where sportspersons have to endure very extreme conditions while training and competing. Thus, anabolic steroids and other doping products help cyclists to keep health in better conditions. Cycling in itself is dangerous without anabolic steroids and other related medicines.
But Przemyslaw Saleta specifies that anabolic steroids and other related medications should be prohibited in amateur sports. Moreover, young athletes must not be also permitted to take these preparations because they may cause serious harm in them. Teenagers must not use such preparations because they may experience serious adverse reactions.
Nevertheless, Przemyslaw Saleta notes that it is wrong to believe that anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs represent the key to success. According to the polish boxer, success can be obtained with the help of hard working.

Compounding pharmacies and violation of laws

Numerous compounding pharmacies violate laws. But only some of them are sanctioned harshly. Thousands pharmaceutical companies avoid harsh sanctions successfully. But only when serious scandals result from illicit actions of compounding pharmacies, they are sentenced to appropriate penalties. For example, anyone is aware of the meningitis outbreak that has spread across the country because of tainted steroid injections manufactured by a Massachusetts pharmaceutical company. Of course, owners and officials of the company will be sanctioned properly. But when illicit actions of compounding pharmacies don’t lead to such serious problems, they go on with their business successfully.
Journalists report about illicit actions linked with steroids, painkillers and other prescription medicines daily. But you may see that compounding pharmacies get only light sentencing for illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other doping products. So, athletes and bodybuilders have free access to performance-enhancing drugs. They get anabolic steroids and other related drugs from pharmaceutical companies and apply them for athletic goals. Moreover, several compounding pharmacies provide fake prescriptions for anabolic steroids. Corrupt physicians supply customers of compounding pharmacies with prescriptions that are given without needed examination of customers’ individual conditions.
Compounding pharmacies are responsible not only for illicit sale of steroids. Some companies manufacture preparations in unsterile conditions. As a result, a lot of individuals get tainted medications and suffer from severe complications, applying  these products. Some individuals even die from contamination resulted from application of tainted medicines. As you are possibly informed, 39 persons died because of fungal meningitis caused by tainted methylprednisolone acetate injections.
The recent contamination with fungal meningitis should have an impact on decisions of appropriate authorities. Criminal sanctions should take place. Otherwise, health of many individuals is in a great danger. Prescription medicines must be sold only under real prescriptions. All products must be produced in sterile conditions. If compounding pharmacies don’t obey all laws, they must be punished. They must not be permitted to continue with business, if they violate laws. Forfeiture of licenses should be accompanied by other serious sanctions.

Disgraced American cyclist’s testicular cancer is widely discussed

Although the disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong has already forfeited his 7 Tour de France titles and other awards, his doping scandal is still hotly discussed. Numerous indidivuals are still expressing their thoughts related to this case. Not only his possible intake of performance-enhancing drugs is discussed but some individuals also speak about Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer. Why has Lance Armstrong suffered from this health problem in his young years? What has caused this illness in him?
Whoopi Goldberg, a celebrated American actress is also involved in debates related to Lance Armstrong’s doping scandal. While she has been mainly implicated in discussions connected with marijuana and other related drugs, now she has chosen to join those who fight against steroids and other related preparations.
According to Whoopi Goldberg, Lance Armstrong has got testicular cancer because of steroids. The actress considers that steroids are likely to cause cancer. She believes that these medications may induce appearing and developing cancer. Whoopi Goldberg considers that experts should inform people about potential links between anabolic steroids and cancer. The actress notices that specialists can find out whether Lance Armstrong has developed cancer because of steroids.
But what do other celebrated persons consider about Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer? Bob Weiner, a prominent political commentator, notes that anyone should be very careful while suggesting that steroids are responsible for development of cancer. This person realizes that these drugs cause numerous side results that are quite harmful for consumers’ health and even life. But he notices that it is unusual to blame steroids for cancer. Such suppositions are serious. Bob Weiner believes that this issue has nothing to do with anti-doping morality.
Nevertheless, Bob Weiner is ready to believe that Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer has been caused by anabolic steroids. This disease normally doesn’t occur in young persons. Why then has Lance Armstrong experienced it? Since scientific literature suggests that connections between cancer and steroid abuse may exist, Bob Weiner doesn’t deny statements of Whoopi Goldberg.
But as it has been already mentioned, this issue doesn’t belong to those of anti-doping policies. Anti-doping officials focus on morality and they don’t care about protection of sportspersons’ health.

Drug manufacturers hire corrupt physicians

Manufacturers of drugs are inclined to illicit activities. A lot of companies produce and sell fake products. As a result, consumers don’t receive wanted benefits. Moreover, fake drugs may lead to severe unusual undesirable consequences in consumers. In addition to these illegal activities, drug manufacturers also distribute prescription medications illegally. Anabolic steroids, HGH, painkillers and other medicines are offered for sale without any prescription. So, a lot of individuals apply these products for non-medical purposes. Anabolic-androgenic steroids and other doping products are widely taken for athletic goals. Sportspeople and bodybuilders get and administer these medications in order to enhance muscle mass and get strength. Numerous individuals desire to be more muscular and combat fatigue during workouts and competitions. That’s why they choose to use steroids and other doping products. Several other persons try to look more beautiful/handsome. So, they use several prescription medicines for anti-aging purposes.
Steroids, HGH and other performance-enhancing drugs are widely purchasable at online store. Several companies even hire corrupt physicians who supply users with proper prescriptions. These doctors provide prescriptions without suitable examination of clients and even without seeing them. Getting prescriptions, thousands persons purchase steroids and other related drugs and use them for non-therapeutic goals.
Although distribution and application of anabolic steroids for non-therapeutic needs are banned under laws of numerous countries, a lot of pharmacies avoid penalties successfully. While several pharmacies and persons are found guilty of illegal actions related to preparations, they are rarely punished properly. Furthermore, they continue to manufacture and sell steroids illegally.
Another problem related to illegal manufacture and distribution of anabolic steroids and other related medications is following: several companies produce products in unsterile conditions. So, persons that take such medications may be contaminated with several diseases. Sometimes contamination with a serious illness may be tragic for several users. The meningitis outbreak that has recently occurred in the USA is widely known around the world. 39 persons died because they applied tainted steroid injections. So, proper officials should control manufacture of medicines. If safety is not at the top level, health of consumers is in a great danger.

Previous cases of contaminations linked to NECC

In 2003 the FDA planned to close the New England Compounding Center (NECC) which lately caused the meningitis outbreak in some states of America. The Massachusetts pharmacy manufactured tainted Methylprednisolone Acetate injections. More than 400 persons that administered the contaminated steroid injections were sickened with fungal meningitis. This disease turned out to be tragic for 39 individuals.
According to a late report written by the House of Energy and Commerce Committee, the meningitis outbreak could have been prevented. The report revealed numerous cases linked with the NECC that should have been shut down by the FDA earlier.
The FDA stated in 2003 that the NECC should not have manufactured drugs till improving of the situation. But ultimately the FDA didn’t prohibit manufacture of products at the NECC. Since the NECC was claimed to be a pharmacy, it should have been monitored by Massachusetts officials. Thus, the FDA let Massachusetts colleagues to resolve the problem. As for Massachusetts officials, they didn’t prohibit manufacture of medicines immediately. The NECC continued to produce preparations. Just Barry Cadden, the owner of the NECC, received reprimand.
Moreover, the NECC was guilty of several illegal actions. The company acted inappropriately under its license. While the NECC was a pharmacy, it acted as a manufacturer and shipped thousands dosages of drugs to hospitals and individual patients.
In 2002 certain persons got unusual side reactions after they had used bethamethasone injections produced by the Massachusetts pharmacy.
Later several individuals that received methylprednisolone acetate injections manufactured by the Massachusetts pharmacy were sickened with bacterial meningitis. Since these persons received complete recovery because of antibiotics, the case was forgotten. The NECC was not punished for the tainted medicines.
These and even several other cases show that the Massachusetts company should have punished earlier. The company should have been shut down for its illicit and inappropriate actions. But the NECC was never sentenced to any serious penalties. As a result, the company continued to manufacture medications that were dangerous for consumers’ health. Ultimately, the meningitis outbreak caused by tainted injections of the NECC spread to several states and sickened many individuals. If the pharmacy had been closed earlier, the contamination with deadly fungal meningitis would not have occurred.

Tennessee health officials’ competence is uncontested

The meningitis outbreak resulted from tainted epidural steroid injections could have been prevented. But since the FDA didn’t use its authority for this goal properly, over 500 persons were contaminated with this disease and 39 persons died.
Tennessee officials turned out to show competence under these circumstances. They were praised by legislators for their decisive actions.
It was reported that numerous persons who had been given epidural steroid injections manufactured by the NECC experienced complications. When Tennessee health officials were informed about this situation, they enforced all health facilities to stop using drugs produced by the pharmacy from Massachusetts. Moreover, they informed immediately about contamination health officials of other states. Actions of Tennessee health officials were quick and decisive. They didn’t hesitate and did everything in order to prevent further contamination and improve the situation.
If Tennessee health officials hadn’t acted so rapidly and competently, more individuals would have been contaminated with fungal meningitis and more deaths would have occurred.
When it comes to the FDA, it appeared to be incompetent. It didn’t utilize its authority decisively in order to improve the situation. Then it tried to justify its negligence, noticing that its power was not cleared and established enough to influence on such large-scale compounding pharmacies, as the NECC. But legislators didn’t accept the FDA’s excuse.
Tennessee health officials deserve to obtain a gold medal for their efforts.
Although certain individuals think that they could avoid contamination, warnings about risks still exist. A lot of individuals are still at the hospital. Others are visited by health officials. If any side symptoms occur at injection sites of those that have administered the contaminated steroids, they should call physicians at once.

Manny Pacquiao also reminds about the downfall of the legendary American cyclist Lance Armstrong. He notices that he doesn’t want to succeed with the help of illegal drugs because such methods can ruin his good reputation.

Unsterile equipment was utilized by NECC for manufacture of medications

It is widely discussed about the meningitis outbreak which has occurred in some states of America. Contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections caused fungal meningitis in over 500 individuals. The contamination turned out to be tragic for 39 individuals: they died. The majority of deaths took place in Tennessee.
It was reported that contaminated steroid injections had been produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC) that is based in Massachusetts. The FDA tested the company in order to define what resulted in contamination and see the situation at the NECC. It was affirmed by the FDA that the contaminated steroid injections were indeed produced by this compounding pharmacy.
According to the Associated Press, the FDA reported that it was evident that manufacture of products was unsterile at the NECC. The FDA noticed that leaking water and uncontrolled temperature were just certain problems at the pharmacy. The equipment used for preparing of solution for injections was unsterile.
Furthermore, the FDA stated that there were some other contaminants. Several bacterial contaminants were discovered at the NECC. However these contaminants were not real pathogens, they could cause infection too. These bacterial contaminants were found in such medicines, as Betamethasone and Triamcinolone. There were not any cases reported about contamination resulted from usage of these drugs. But it was noted that these medications were also able to cause contamination. Although the bacterial contaminants were anywhere in the environment, they had not to be in preparations. This fact pointed at unsterile conditions at the pharmacy and affirmed that the Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be contaminated with fungal meningitis because they were prepared in inappropriate conditions.
The situation made it clear that new laws on compounding pharmacies should be implemented. Contamination should be prevented. Otherwise, health of Americans is in danger.

Barry Larkin: steroid users shouldn’t have any chance to be elected for Hall of Fame

Barry Larkin, a retired baseball player, notices about his negative attitude to athletes that have ever taken steroids and/or other forbidden preparations. He claims that such baseball players that have ever been linked to performance-enhancing drugs must not enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. To be introduced to the Hall of Fame is the highest honor which is gotten by baseball players. Barry Larkin has been introduced in the Hall of Fame last year. He believes that steroid users should not receive the highest honor. They should understand that they have made a serious mistake, when they have made a decision to take steroids and/or other related remedies. Their decision means that they should be out of this club forever.
Barry Larkin belongs to the most successful baseball players. He has obtained several awards, while playing professional baseball.
Barry Larkin also notices about Pete Rose who is kept out of the Baseball Hall of Fame. This player has gambled on baseball games. That’s why he has been suspended from professional baseball for the whole life. Thus, he doesn’t have any chance to enter the Hall of Fame. Barry Larkin thinks that those that have ever used prohibited substances should get similar punishment. They must not be introduced into the Hall of Fame.
Barry Larkin has played during the steroid era. He doesn’t desire to blame those that have played with and against him. He doesn’t make rash conclusions about other baseball players. Barry Larkin says that no any sportsman should be blamed, if his guilt has not been proven. He is considered to be innocent until it will be obvious that he has really applied anabolic steroids and/or other related medications.
Barry Larkin also takes part in teaching young sportspersons about dangers linked with usage of anabolic steroids. He has formed a charity foundation which has been called after his name. Thus, the retired baseball player puts substantial efforts in order to make baseball clean. He convinces young athletes not to apply anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Barry Larkin desires to see baseball drug-free.

Dana White reveals truth

Dana White, the UFC president, continues to notice that the fight between Anderson Silva and George St-Pierre will occur. However Anderson Silva has noted that he is not interested in the fight, Dana White doesn’t lose his hope. The UFC president notices that the fight between these men will occur before Anderson Silva ends his athletic career.
Anderson Silva will also fight against Jon Jones. But now Jon Jones trains in order to fight against Chael Sonnen. The fight is scheduled to take place in April this year.
Since Anderson Silva and St-Pierre don’t express any antipathy to each other, fans want more fervently to watch the fight between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones.
During interviews both Anderson Silva and George St-Pierre have argued that they don’t desire to face one another. Despites of their statements, Dana White states that he is aware of the real situation. He notes that while Anderson Silva and George St-Pierre claim that they don’t want to face each other in the ring, it isn’t true. The UFC president notices that wholly opposite words are pronounced behind the scenes. In addition to these conditions, Anderson Silva never refuses fans’ proposals. He always does what he must do.
Dana White praises Anderson Silva. He says that this fighter possesses great skills. Anderson Silva has displayed his great performance many times.
It is interesting to note that Anderson Silva has defeated Stephan Bonnar who has taken anabolic steroids.
Speaking about the fight against Anderson Silva, Stephan Bonnar noticed that his opponent displayed amazing abilities. He added that Anderson Silva defeated him wholly. He felt as if he hadn’t had any success in MMA in his life. So, Stephan Bonnar lost the fight, despites of his usage of prohibited substances.

FDA puts efforts to eradicate ambiguity from rules

The fungal meningitis outbreak which started in September last year had serious influence upon America. Contaminated injectable steroids were produced by the New England Compounding Center (located in Massachusetts) and used by many persons. As a result, over 400 patients were contaminated with fungal meningitis in over 20 states. 39 persons contaminated with this disease died. 14 deaths happened in Tennessee.
It became evident that it needed to do something in order to prevent such cases. Contamination must not occur in future. The FDA had to meet with representatives of all states for discussion of this issue. So, recently a meeting took place in order to discuss ways related to prevention of contamination in the future.
It was specified during the meeting that new rules on compounding pharmacies should be introduced.
Representatives of some states claimed that they did proper job in their states and no any person suffered from troubles connected with contamination. Moreover, they noticed with criticism that they didn’t know what happened in other states.
When it comes to the FDA, its authority over such cases is not established well. Federal court cases which were during past years depressed the authority of the FDA significantly. In addition to these problems, some rules seem to be unclear.
Margaret Hamburg, the FDA Commissioner, expressed the proposal to improve the situation through the following modifications:
- to control training of state regulators;
- to promote sharing information between the FDA and states;
- to eradicate ambiguity from rules.

These items seem to be reasonable. Such modifications will probably help to promote improving public health of Americans. It goes without saying that if rules contain ambiguity, no any agreement will be reached. That’s why new laws should be elaborated and existing laws should be altered.
The FDA hopes that state regulators will coact with it in order to prevent manufacturing and shipping contaminated preparations.

Will you ever forget about Lance Armstrong’s steroid scandal?

The year 2012 has gone away. Thinking about 2012, what will you affirm about sports? Which names will you pronounce? Will you comment amazing baseball players? Will you say about the disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong? Will you talk about the London Olympics? Will you discuss concussions of football players? Will you say about suicides committed by several professional football players? What will you notice about Melky Cabrera?
Of course, everyone will remember the case connected with Lance Armstrong while speaking about sports of 2012. Every individual will note about the role of anabolic steroids in cycling and in other sports. Any individual will mention about potential adverse effects of steroids taken for athletic purposes. Any person interested in sports will remember what journalists have affirmed about anabolic steroids, cheating in sports and certain ways of athletes to succeed in professional sports.
Thinking about sports of 2012, you will possibly notice about the steroid era in baseball and integrity of this sport. You will also note about criminal deeds of Jerry Sandusky and his coaching career at Penn State.
But let think what future generations will remember. What will historians say one hundred years later? Will they focus on cases connected with James LeBron, Melky Cabrera and Jerry Sandusky? Will they note about concussions of NFL players? However they will possibly talk of these cases, the hottest debates will be connected with Lance Armstrong’s steroid scandal. This is a case that will be never forgotten. A lot of persons will remember achievements of Lance Armstrong in cycling and his further downfall. Undoubtedly, they will also note about his foundation Livestrong and influence of his spoiled reputation upon the charity organization. They will remember that intake of steroids led Lance Armstrong to loss of Tour de France titles, distancing from Livestrong and some other troubles. Lance Armstrong will be always in the memory of the American society.

Results of voting for Baseball Hall of Fame cause indignation in many persons

Fans of baseball and numerous other individuals seem to be anxious by results of voting for the Hall of Fame. Certain great players have not entered the Baseball Hall of Fame. It is not surprisingly that you also ask why they have not been elected. Under guidelines of voting, those that have manifested brilliant baseball abilities and contributed to their teams evidentially should be elected. It goes without saying that such baseball players, as Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire and certain other athletes have displayed great skills and achievements while playing professionally. Why aren’t they in the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Many voters state that they will never support those that have ever been linked to anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs. Dopers should get penalty. Future generations should realize that they will never really succeed, if they use performance-enhancing drugs.
What would you do, if you were a voter? Would you support dopers?
In fact, voters never possess complete information about admitted and suspected consumers of steroids. You can’t prove that Roger Clemens has actually doped. A lot of persons have suspicions but there is no any steroid evidence. How may voters refuse to support him? Are they sure that he has administered anabolic steroids and other prohibited preparations? –No, they aren’t. That’s why it is wrong to keep Roger Clemens out of the Baseball Hall of Fame only because of suspicions.
While several voters are ready to support suspected dopers, they affirm that they will never vote for an admitted consumer of steroids. Although it seems to be fair, let analyze the situation better! Have anabolic steroids played any essential role in success of certain baseball player? For example, if even Roger Clemens has taken performance-enhancing drugs, it is possible to convince anyone that he has had great success not because of steroid use. Amazing achievements of this prominent baseball player have been demonstrated before his alleged usage of steroids. According to certain statements, Roger Clemens has administered steroids since 1998 and then in 2000 and 2001.  But the most brilliant accomplishments have been done by him before 1998. Thus, no one can claim that anabolic steroids have helped Roger Clemens to succeed in professional baseball. That’s why he should enter the Hall of Fame.
Moreover, why are numerous individuals inclined to blame only consumers of steroids? Isn’t it the society that presses sportspersons to start applying steroids and other doping products?

Why aren’t steroid users elected for Hall of Fame?

Certain Hall of Famers believe that users of steroids must never be elected for their club. They affirm that such baseball players, as Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens should be kept out of the Baseball Hall of Fame. They are very happy that these sportspersons didn’t get needed percentage of voting to be in the Hall of Fame. According to them, it is correct. They believe that otherwise our kids get confused. They will believe that they are permitted to administer anabolic steroids and whatever they desire and remain unpunished. So, it would be a negative example for future generations. Al Kaline, Goose Gossage and several others who belong to the Baseball Hall of Fame have this opinion. They even point at cycling, as a good example to follow.
What occurred actually in the world of cycling? The successful American cyclist was accused of taking prohibited preparations. As a result, he was deprived of his 7 Tour de France titles and sentenced to life-time suspension.
Thus, certain Hall of Famers affirm that cycling is a good example for baseball. Baseball players who are found guilty of doping should be banned from this sport totally. Record books must not include information about success of those that have been caught administering forbidden medicines. Those that have cheated should be punished appropriately.
Nonetheless, not every member of the Baseball Hall of Fame has similar opinion. For example, Juan Marichal supports Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, etc. He thinks that these baseball players should be elected for the Hall of Fame. These athletes are stars in baseball. Nobody could prove that they have actually taken doping products. Since there is no any proof, suspicions cost nothing.
Under rules related to voting for the Hall of Fame, baseball players that have amazing skills and those that have contributed to their teams evidentially should be elected for the Hall of Fame.  Nobody doubts that Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were great players. They made evident contributions to their teams. That’s why they should be in the Hall of Fame.

What caused obvious changes in physique of Manuel Marquez?

Each fan noted that the physique of the American boxer Juan Manuel Marquez had been changed essentially. What led to such essential changes in the athlete?
Since Juan Manuel Marquez is connected with the admitted steroid dealer Angel “Memo” Hernandez, numerous individuals believe that the boxer’s muscles have been enhanced because of steroids and/or other related products. Angel “Memo” Hernandez has been hired as a strength coach of Juan Manuel Marquez. This person was related to the BALCO scandal. As it was found out, this man supplied a lot of top athletes with steroids and other related drugs. He provided information about some athletes who obtained forbidden products from him.
Finding out that Angel “Memo” Hernandez has been a distributor of steroids, many persons believe that he provides performance-enhancing drugs to Juan Manuel Marquez. Some suspicions and even accusations were pronounced by Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquiao’s trainer. Freddie Roach expressed the desire to subject the both fighters Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao to drug testing before the fight.
Actually, Freddie Roach didn’t have any proof. He focused only on enhanced muscles of Juan Manuel Marquez.
Later Freddie Roach claimed that he didn’t mean anything serious. He affirmed that he was just joking.
Angel “Memo” Hernandez reminded that he was not just a coach. Since he is a scientist, he possesses great knowledge. He knows the best methods to get muscle mass and add strength. Angel “Memo” Hernandez notes that he knows the ways to do it legally. No any illegal drug is included in his methods. But he doesn’t want to reveal the ways. The coach affirms that this is a secret.
When it comes to Juan Manuel Marquez, he claimed that he never used any forbidden preparation. He noted that it was not drugs which caused his dramatic transformation. Moreover, he specified that weight was not the main factor while fighting. According to the boxer, a fighter should possess intelligence, speed and strength in order to succeed.
Neither Juan Manuel Marquez, nor Manny Pacquiao was tested for banned drugs before the fight. Such tests are commonly applied by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after rings.
