International Cycling Union is asked to create Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The USADA desires to know whether you have ever administered anabolic steroids, EPO, HGH and/or other prohibited remedies. This fact may surprise you but the anti-doping organization doesn’t plan yet to stop the investigation related to Lance Armstrong’s doping case. So, the investigation has not been ended. The USADA desires to investigate every cyclist. Especially suspected cyclists will be investigated.
The USADA desires to utilize the best ways in order to catch those that have ever taken forbidden medicines. What is the best way to clean cycling of steroid use? The USADA tries to define and utilize the best methods. This anti-doping organization is even ready to compare elimination of doping in cycling with that in South Africa.
The USADA affirms that those that take steroids and other related substances should be punished. Consumers of anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs are blamed as if they were criminals. They are often compared with those who commit violence and other serious crimes. Steroids are harshly demonized in the society. Thus, the USADA supposes that if steroids and steroid users are demonized, it will be easier to eradicate doping.
Actually, the USADA asks the International Cycling Association to set up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission will investigate various cases related to doping. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will try to define why certain cyclists have administered steroids and/or other doping products but avoided detection.
Moreover, the USADA promises that “amnesty” will be provided to those that admit to applying steroids and/or other banned preparations, ask for forgiveness, repent and tell everything connected with doping to the anti-doping agency, team doctors, teammates, friends, etc. If a former steroid user says only truth, he will get the full amnesty. Thus, the USADA hopes to clean cycling wholly.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the USADA, affirms that there are certain cyclists connected with Lance Armstrong that have avoided detection. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission should identify them.

While NFL players test positive for steroids, they report that they have used Adderall

The National Football League is not permitted to reveal details, when players violate anti-doping rules. It is only claimed that certain persons have been busted using forbidden medications. But the League must not report which substances have been applied by these sportspersons. Thus, several football players cheat about preparations that have led to positives.
Why do certain football players choose to cheat about substances that have been used by them? Let explain.
Many football players who fail drug tests affirm that they have used Adderall. In fact, they have taken anabolic steroids. Why do they say that they have tested positive for Adderall? What does Adderall represent? This is a medication that is recommended to treat attention-deficit disorder. But this product is applied not only for this therapeutic need. Athletes and bodybuilders use this preparation for performance-enhancing effects.
When it comes to steroids, they are harshly blamed. Many journalists, specialists, anti-doping officials and ordinary individuals claim that these products are too dangerous. They may lead to various severe side consequences. Steroids are demonized even for certain crimes. But when it comes to Adderall, this drug is not demonized in the society. Thus, many football players try to avoid criticism. They don’t want to be blamed for administration of such banned medications, as steroids. Since users of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players say that they have failed drug tests because they have taken Adderall.
A football player compared this situation with following cases: those who are busted with cocaine tell others that they have applied marijuana because cocaine is more harshly demonized than the last one.
You should not suppose that each football player that says that he has tested positive for Adderall has really administered steroids. But it is possible to affirm that those that take Adderall are less blamed than those that administer anabolic steroids.

Freddie Roach desires to push strength and conditioning coaches from boxing

Freddie Roach is a well-known American trainer in boxing. He coaches the prominent boxer Manny Pacquiao. He notes that he knows the best method to eradicate the problem of steroid use in boxing. According to this trainer, strength and conditioning coaches should be blamed for usage of anabolic steroids and other related medications in this sport. He thinks that they teach boxers to take doping products. Thus, the trainer Freddie Roach affirms that it is necessary to get rid of each strength and conditioning coach. It will lead to eradication of steroid use from boxing.
What does Freddie Roach think about essential changes that have occurred in physique and performance of the boxer Juan Manuel Marquez. In fact, there are different points of view about this person and substantial changes in him. Numerous individuals claim that he has used anabolic steroids which have induced these changes in him. As for Freddie Roach, he supposes that Angel Guillermo Memo Heredia has provided anabolic steroids to Juan Manuel Marquez.
Memo Heredia is an admitted distributor of steroids. He acknowledged that he had provided steroids to numerous top athletes. Since he collaborated with prosecutors and revealed names of several sportspersons who applied steroids, he was not charged with any crimes connected with distribution of anabolic steroids.
So, the trainer Freddie Roach believes that strength and conditioning coaches like Memo Heredia should be pushed from boxing. It is the best method to eliminate intake of steroids and other related medications from boxing.
It is interesting to note that Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach’s client, also has a strength coach. Does it mean that this well-known boxer takes steroids and/or other related products? Freddie Roach claims that the strength coach Alex Arizo doesn’t supply Manny Pacquiao with steroids.
Alex Arizo and Memo Heredia are friends. Thus, Alex Arizo puts efforts to defend his friend, affirming that Freddie Roach’s accusations are not true. Actually, the trainer Freddie Roach says that he doesn’t like to pronounce any accusations connected with application of anabolic steroids and other related preparations. But he has to do it because this is the essence of boxing.
While Alex Arizo affirms that Memo Heredia doesn’t provide steroids to Marquez, Freddie Roach has own point of view. He continues to believe that Marquez is tainted. According to Freddie Roach, dramatic physical transformations of this athlete display that he administers steroids and/or other doping products.

What promoted increasing Moustafa Ismail’s arms?

The Egyptian bodybuilder Moustafa Ismail has the largest biceps in the world. His name was recorded in the Guinness book of the world records. This guy affirms that his large biceps are natural. He says that he has the largest biceps in the world because he has too strict diets and trainings. Moustafa Ismail eats chickens, almonds and fish each day. The Egyptian bodybuilder also consumes much water and protein shakes.
However it is obvious that diets and trainings play great role, many persons doubt about natural arms of Moustafa Ismail. It is hard to believe that proper trainings and nutrition can lead to such enhancement in arms. Which conditions are responsible for the massive arms of the bodybuilder?
When it was published that Moustafa Ismail’s arms were 32 inches, accusations connected with usage of steroids appeared soon. Some individuals think that anabolic steroids are responsible for the massive arms of this person. What did Moustafa Ismail affirm about intake of steroids? He claimed that he had administered steroids while living in Egypt. Purchase and intake of these medications are legal under laws of this country. These medications are sold at any drug store in Egypt. Furthermore, steroids are not expensive there. But Moustafa Ismail affirmed that he had to stop administering these preparations, when he moved to the USA. It is know that purchase and application of these medicines without a prescription are considered to be illegal under laws of the US. These products are bought on the black market by those that take them in the US illegally. So, Moustafa Ismail discontinued applying these drugs after he moved to the USA.
But if even Moustafa Ismail uses steroids, it doesn’t matter because these preparations don’t enhance arms. They are not responsible for Moustafa Ismail’s massive arms.
There are other remedies which can enhance arms. They are called “site enhancement oils” (SEO). Synthol is one of the most often applied SEO. This preparation is applied by bodybuilders. It is taken in order to enhance muscles in circumference. Thus, it is supposed that Moustafa Ismail administers Synthol. However, the Egyptian bodybuilder affirms that he doesn’t take this product.
Moustafa Ismail says that he is hurt by accusations connected with steroids and Synthol. He has been subjected to examination conducted by an independent doctor that hasn’t seen any abnormality in the arms of this person. Thus, it is unclear whether the bodybuilder’s arms are natural or not.

Scott Mercier: doping was spread in cycling while Lance Armstrong experienced cancer

Although you probably don’t know anything about Scott Mercier, his affirmations related to administration of performance-enhancing drugs in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This sportsperson belonged to the US Postal Cycling team before Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Several statements of Scott Mercier discovered the truth which was hidden in cycling.
Actually, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made wrong conclusions linked with role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The celebrated American cyclist was accused and found guilty of usage of banned medicines throughout his cycling career. While it may be true, the USADA claimed that Lance Armstrong induced doping in professional cycling. But these statements turned out to be wrong. Why? Which words were pronounced by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier said that their team doctor Pedro Celaya offered a special program for the US Postal Cycling team. The doctor discussed about the program with every cyclist. Pedro Celaya said that they had to ride 200-250 km per day. Furthermore, Pedro Celaya established doping program that had to accompany trainings. So, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s sportspersons with steroids, EPO and some other preparations.
These guidelines were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong was not involved in professional cycling. This athlete suffered from testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that this person would not be able to be involved in professional cycling. His cancer spread throughout his body, including brain. After this man experienced chemotherapy he tried to get recovery. Thus, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any link to the team. He didn’t promote using doping products in professional cycling. It became obvious that doping was organized by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional riders used Andriol. Then they applied testosterone patches. Under recommendations of Pedro Celaya riders used the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping officers.

Despites of steroid past, baseball player Melky Cabrera has great success in sports

Intake of anabolic steroids and some other medicines is banned in many sports organizations, including the Major League Baseball (MLB). Athletes that are caught using prohibited medications are sentenced to suspensions, fines, etc. However sportspeople know about these conditions, many of them continue administering steroids and/or other prohibited products. As a result, certain sportspeople spoil their athletic reputation wholly. Nonetheless, several sportspeople succeed, if even they violate anti-doping rules.
Let take the Dominican baseball player Melky Cabrera as an example. He played baseball for San Francisco Giants. Melky Cabrera was claimed to be one of the best baseball players. It was believed that he promoted winning evidentially. But after he tested positive for a steroid, he was sentenced to a 50-game suspension.
Melky Cabrera put efforts to modify the decision and appealed it. He claimed that a dietary supplement was responsible for his positive. Some persons wanted to help him in that situation. Thus, a fake website was created. An advertisement for a non-existing tainted supplement was posted. But the trick was unmasked. Melky Cabrera had to serve the ban.
While he was banned, the San Francisco Giants understood that they could win without him.
Recently Melky Cabrera obtained a $16 million contract. Melky Cabrera will play for the Toronto Blue Jays.
 As you see, administration of steroids couldn’t destruct the athletic career of the Dominican baseball player. He continues to play baseball professionally and earn great sums of money.
This is just an example that manifests that usage of prohibited medicines doesn’t affect athletic careers in some cases.

Myogenix manufactured and sold Spawn between 2007 and 2009

Dietary supplements companies frequently label synthetic steroids as nutrition supplements. So, they sell these illegal preparations. They mislead the Drug Enforcement Administration and clients that buy such preparations. As a result, several sportspersons test positive for banned substances while they assure that they have never administered any steroid or another forbidden drug. Dietary supplements companies should be blamed for such situations.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company that is in California. This company admitted that they sold a synthetic steroid that was marketed as a dietary supplement. It was named Spawn. The following substances composed it: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. Thus, the supplement Spawn contained two steroids but it was marketed as a nutrition supplement.
Myogenix admitted that they had sold Spawn between 2007 and 2009. The company was enforced to pay a $500.000 fine. Furthermore, the company forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, preparations manufactured and sold by Myogenix will be tested for 5 years by an independent organization. All new dietary supplements should be controlled scrupulously and approved by the FDA before the company will be allowed to sell them.
In fact, Myogenix should be thankful to the lawyer Rick Collins that has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company efficiently. Nobody was sentenced to prison. This defense attorney was hired to defend also other companies that were related to the website Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced only to fines and money seizures.
