Lance Armstrong has stopped to deny doping

The American cyclist Lance Armstrong was denying using doping products for years. Although he was accused of administering banned preparations many times, he continued to claim that he never used forbidden medications. 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.
Although numerous sportspersons applied performance-enhancing drugs and avoided detection successfully, there was anything unusual in the doping case of Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong achieved great success in sports. He obtained 7 Tour de France titles. He obtained also some other awards. The American cyclist obtained worldwide success. However he was subjected to thousands drug tests, he never tested positive for any forbidden medication.
Undoubtedly, Lance Armstrong is not the only sportsman who has doped. Athletes have taken banned medications during past years. They continue to apply steroids and other related medicines nowadays. And professional sportspeople will use them in future. Application of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is spread in professional sports. Almost every athlete applies banned products. While several sportspersons test positive for forbidden medications and receive bans, others are not caught.
As for the attitude towards Lance Armstrong’s doping, it’s mainly negative. Many individuals got significant anger, when the famous cyclist admitted to taking EPO, the steroid testosterone and blood transfusions. Many persons believed in him. They thought that Lance Armstrong competed “cleanly”. That’s why their disappointment was significant.
And what do you think about “clean” sports? Anti-doping officers should think about this issue. While anti-doping officers claim that they have sophisticated tests to combat doping in sports, many sportspersons apply anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs and remain undetectable.
While the legendary cyclist has admitted to using prohibited preparations, anti-doping officials should realize that their programs are inappropriate.

Legalization of steroids in professional sports

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

Illegal actions of compounding pharmacies

Numerous compounding pharmacies violate laws. But just some of them are sanctioned properly. Thousands pharmaceutical companies avoid serious penalties without significant efforts. But just when serious scandals result from illegal actions of pharmaceutical companies, they are sentenced to appropriate penalties. For example, anyone knows about the meningitis outbreak which has spread across the country because of contaminated steroid injections manufactured by a Massachusetts compounding center. Of course, owners and officers of the drug manufacturer will be punished harshly. But when illegal activities of compounding pharmacies don’t cause such serious problems, they continue with their business successfully.
Journalists report about illicit operations linked with anabolic steroids, painkillers and other prescription drugs daily. But you may see that compounding pharmacies get only insignificant sentencing for illicit distribution of steroids and other doping products. Thus, athletes and bodybuilders have free access to performance-enhancing drugs. They purchase anabolic-androgenic steroids and other related medications from pharmaceutical companies and use them for athletic needs. Furthermore, several compounding pharmacies provide fake prescriptions for steroids. Corrupt physicians supply customers of pharmacies with prescriptions which are given without proper examination of customers’ personal conditions.
Drug manufacturers are responsible not only for illicit distribution of anabolic steroids. Several companies produce preparations in unsterile conditions. As a result, a lot of persons get contaminated medications and experience serious complications, using  these medications. Several persons even die from contamination caused by application of contaminated preparations. As you are possibly informed, 39 individuals died because of fungal meningitis caused by contaminated 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 persons is in a serious danger. Prescription drugs must be sold only under real prescriptions. All drugs must be manufactured in sterile conditions. If drug manufacturers don’t obey all laws, they must be sanctioned. They must not be allowed to continue with business, if they violate laws. Forfeiture of licenses should be accompanied by other serious penalties.

Legendary American cyclist’s cancer is disputed by famous persons

Although the ashamed American cyclist Lance Armstrong has already lost his Tour de France titles and other awards, his steroid scandal is still hotly disputed. Many persons are still expressing their thoughts related to this case. Not only his alleged application of doping products is debated but some persons also speak about Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer. Why has Lance Armstrong experienced this illness in his young years? What has caused this disease in him?
Whoopi Goldberg, a celebrated American actress is also involved in disputes connected with Lance Armstrong’s doping scandal. While she has been mainly implicated in discussions linked with marijuana and other related drugs, now she has chosen to join those who fight against steroids and other related medications.
According to Whoopi Goldberg, Lance Armstrong has experienced testicular cancer because of steroid use. The actress supposes that anabolic steroids are likely to result in cancer. She argues that these products may induce appearing and developing cancer. Whoopi Goldberg considers that experts should inform people about probable tights between anabolic steroids and cancer. The actress notes that experts can define whether steroids have sickened Lance Armstrong.
But what do other celebrated persons think about Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer? Bob Weiner, a well-known political commentator, notes that anyone should be very careful while expressing suggestions that steroids are responsible for development of cancer. This person realizes that these preparations  are blamed for numerous undesirable effects that are quite dangerous for users’ health and even life. But he adds that it is unusual to demonize 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 inclined to believe that Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer has developed because of anabolic steroids. This illness usually doesn’t trouble young persons. Why then has Lance Armstrong got it? Since scientific literature suggests that links between cancer and steroid misuse may exist, Bob Weiner doesn’t deny affirmations of Whoopi Goldberg.
But as it has been already noticed, this issue doesn’t belong to those of anti-doping policies. Anti-doping officers focus on morality and they don’t care about protection of sportspersons’ health.

Corrupt physicians provide prescriptions for steroids

Manufacturers of drugs are inclined to illegal activities. Many pharmacies produce and sell fake medicines. As a result, consumers don’t get wanted effects. Furthermore, counterfeit drugs may lead to serious unusual negative consequences in users. In addition to these illegal operations, drug manufacturers also distribute prescription medications illegally. Anabolic steroids, HGH, painkillers and other medicines are offered for sale without any prescription. Thus, numerous individuals take these medications for non-clinical needs. Anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are widely administered for bodybuilding goals. Sportspeople and bodybuilders buy and administer these products in order to increase muscles and add strength. Many persons want to be more muscular and combat tiredness during trainings and competitions. That’s why they choose to apply anabolic steroids and other doping products. Several other individuals try to look more beautiful/handsome. So, they take some prescription medications for anti-aging purposes.
Steroids, HGH and other performance-enhancing drugs are widely available at online pharmacies. Some companies even hire corrupt doctors who supply users with needed prescriptions. These physicians provide prescriptions without needed examination of clients and even without seeing them. Obtaining prescriptions, numerous individuals buy steroids and other related drugs and apply them for non-clinical needs.
However sale and application of steroids for non-medical purposes are forbidden under laws of many countries, many companies avoid punishment successfully. While certain pharmacies and persons are found guilty of illegal activities related to products, they are rarely punished appropriately. Furthermore, they continue to produce and distribute anabolic steroids illegally.
Another problem connected with illicit manufacture and sale of anabolic steroids and other related drugs is following: several pharmacies manufacture preparations in unsterile conditions. Thus, individuals that administer such medications may be contaminated with several diseases. Sometimes contamination with a dangerous illness may be fatal for several users. The meningitis outbreak that has recently occurred in the USA is widely known around the world. 39 individuals died because they administered tainted steroid injections. So, proper officials should monitor manufacture of medicines. If safety is not at the needed level, health of users is in a great danger.

Massachusetts officials had to close NECC in 2003

In 2003 the FDA had in mind to close the New England Compounding Center (NECC) that last year caused the meningitis outbreak in certain states of America. The Massachusetts pharmacy produced tainted Methylprednisolone Acetate injections. More than 400 individuals who administered the contaminated steroid injections were sickened with fungal meningitis. This disease turned out to be tragic for 39 persons.
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 Massachusetts pharmacy that should have been shut down by the FDA earlier.
The FDA stated in 2003 that the NECC should not have produced preparations till improving of the situation. But finally the FDA didn’t prohibit manufacture of medicines at the NECC. Since the NECC was claimed to be a pharmacy, it should have been ruled by Massachusetts officials. So, the FDA let Massachusetts colleagues to improve the situation. As for Massachusetts officials, they didn’t prohibit manufacture of drugs at once. The NECC continued to manufacture medications. Only Barry Cadden, the owner of the company, received reprimand.
Furthermore, the Massachusetts pharmacy was guilty of several illegal operations. The company acted improperly under its license. Being a pharmacy, the NECC acted as a manufacturer and shipped thousands doses of medications to hospitals and individual patients.
In 2002 certain persons experienced unusual adverse reactions after they had administered bethamethasone injections produced by the NECC.
Later some individuals that received methylprednisolone acetate injections manufactured by the NECC were contaminated with bacterial meningitis. Since these individuals got full recovery because of antibiotics, the case was forgotten. The Massachusetts pharmacy was not punished for the tainted medicines.
These and even some other cases manifest that the Massachusetts pharmacy should have punished earlier. The company should have been closed for its illicit and inappropriate actions. But the Compounding Center was never sentenced to any severe penalties. As a result, the company continued to produce preparations that were dangerous for consumers’ health. Finally, the meningitis outbreak caused by contaminated injections of the Massachusetts pharmacy spread to certain states and sickened many persons. If the pharmacy had been closed earlier, the contamination with deadly fungal meningitis would not have occurred.

Tennessee health officials showed their competence

The meningitis outbreak resulted from tainted epidural steroid injections could have been prevented. But since the FDA didn’t utilize its power for this goal properly, more than 500 persons were contaminated with this disease and 39 recipients of the injections died.
Tennessee officials showed unbelievable competence under such circumstances. They were praised by legislators for their decisive actions.
It was announced that many individuals that had received steroid injections produced by the NECC experienced complications. When Tennessee health officials were informed about this situation, they enforced all health facilities to stop utilizing medications produced by the compounding center from Massachusetts. Furthermore, they informed immediately about contamination health officials of other states. Actions of Tennessee health officials were quick and definite. They didn’t hesitate and did everything in order to prevent further contamination and improve conditions of those that sickened.
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.
As for the FDA, it appeared to be incompetent. It didn’t use its power definitely in order to improve the situation. Then it attempted to justify its incompetence, claiming that its power was not cleared and established enough to influence on such large-scale compounding pharmacies, as the NECC. However, legislators didn’t accept the FDA’s excuse.
Tennessee health officials  deserve to receive a gold medal for their efforts.
Although some persons believe that they could avoid contamination, warnings about certain risks still exist. Numerous persons are still at the hospital. Others are visited by health officials. If any side symptoms occur at injection sites of those that have introduced the tainted steroids, they must contact health care providers at once.

NECC utilized unsterile equipment for preparing of drugs

It is widely discussed about the meningitis outbreak that has happened in several states of America. Contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections led to fungal meningitis in over 500 patients. The contamination turned out to be fatal for 39 persons: they died. The majority of deaths occurred in Tennessee.
It was said 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 determine what caused contamination and see the situation at the NECC. It was affirmed by the FDA that the contaminated steroid injections were really produced by this compounding pharmacy.
The FDA told the Associated Press that it was evident that preparing of products was unsterile at the NECC. The FDA noticed that leaking water and uncontrolled temperature were only certain problems at the pharmacy. The equipment used for manufacture of solution for injections was unsterile.
Furthermore, the FDA stated that there were certain other contaminants. Several bacterial contaminants were discovered at the compounding center. However these contaminants were not real pathogens, they were capable to lead to infection as well. These bacterial contaminants were found in such medicines, as Betamethasone and Triamcinolone. There were not any situations reported about contamination resulted from usage of these preparations. But it was noted that these medicines were also able to cause contamination. Although the bacterial contaminants were anywhere in the environment, they had not to be in drugs. This fact pointed at unsterile conditions at the compounding center and confirmed that the Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be contaminated with fungal meningitis because they were produced in inappropriate conditions.
The situation made it clear that new rules on compounding pharmacies should be implemented. Contamination should be prevented. Otherwise, public health is in danger in the USA.

To be in Baseball Hall of Fame means to receive highest honor

The retired baseball player Barry Larkin notes about his negative attitude towards athletes that have ever used anabolic steroids and/or other banned products. He says that such baseball players who have ever been associated with performance-enhancing drugs must not be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. To be elected for the Hall of Fame is the greatest honor which is gotten by baseball players. Barry Larkin has been elected for the Hall of Fame last year. He believes that consumers of steroids should not acquire the highest honor. They should understand that they have made a serious mistake, when they have decided to administer anabolic steroids and/or other related preparations. Their decision means that they should be kept out of this club forever.
Barry Larkin is one of  the most successful baseball players. He has gotten some awards, while playing professional baseball.
Barry Larkin also notices about Pete Rose who is kept out of the Baseball Hall of Fame. This person has gambled on baseball games. That’s why he has been banned from professional baseball for the entire life. So, he doesn’t have any possibility to enter the Hall of Fame. Barry Larkin claims that those that have ever applied prohibited drugs should get similar sanction. They must not be elected for the Hall of Fame.
Barry Larkin has played during the steroid era. He doesn’t want to demonize those that have played with and against him. He doesn’t make rash conclusions about other baseball players. Barry Larkin thinks that no any athlete should be blamed, if his guilt has not been proven. He is claimed to be innocent until it will be evident that he has really used steroids and/or other related substances.
Barry Larkin also takes part in teaching young sportspersons about dangers related to usage of anabolic steroids. He has established a charity foundation which has been called after his name. Thus, the retired baseball player puts great efforts in order to make baseball clean. He convinces young persons not to apply anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Barry Larkin desires to see baseball drug-free.

Dana White discloses truth about words of Silva and St-Pierre pronounced during interviews

Dana White, the UFC president, continues to argue that the fight between Anderson Silva and George St-Pierre will occur. Although Anderson Silva has noticed that he is not interested in the fight, the UFC president doesn’t lose his hope. Dana White claims that the fight between these men will take place before Anderson Silva ends his athletic career.
Anderson Silva will also face Jon Jones. But now Jon Jones trains in order to face Chael Sonnen. The fight is scheduled to take place in April this year.
Since Anderson Silva and St-Pierre don’t express any hatred to each other, fans desire more eagerly to watch the fight between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones.
During interviews both Anderson Silva and George St-Pierre have claimed that they don’t want to face one another. Nonetheless, the UFC president makes it clear that he is aware of the real situation. He argues that while Anderson Silva and George St-Pierre say that they don’t desire to face each other in the ring, it isn’t true. The UFC president states that entirely opposite statements are pronounced behind the scenes. In addition to these conditions, Anderson Silva never refuses fans’ proposals. The fighter always does what he is expected to do.
The UFC president praises Anderson Silva. He claims that this fighter has great skills. Anderson Silva has displayed his splendid performance numerous times.
It is interesting to mention that Anderson Silva has defeated Stephan Bonnar that has administered steroids.
Saying about the fight against Anderson Silva, Stephan Bonnar claimed that his opponent manifested great abilities. He specified that Anderson Silva defeated him entirely. He felt as if he hadn’t had any success in MMA in his life. So, Stephan Bonnar lost the fight, despites of his application of forbidden drugs.
Dana White doesn’t stop praising Anderson Silva. Dana White thinks that the fighter evaluates his skills appropriately and he knows that he can win any match. That’s why Anderson Silva is ready to face any fighter anytime.

FDA believes that clear rules will help to prevent manufacture of contaminated drugs

The fungal meningitis outbreak that started in September last year had evident influence upon America. Contaminated injectable steroids were produced by the New England Compounding Center (based in Massachusetts) and administered by many persons. As a result, over 400 persons were contaminated with fungal meningitis in over 20 states. 39 individuals sickened with this disease died. 14 deaths happened in Tennessee.
It became evident that it needed to do anything for prevention of such situations. Contamination must not take place in future. The FDA had to meet with representatives of all states for discussion of this problem. Thus, recently a meeting took place in order to prevent occurring contamination in the future.
It was affirmed during the meeting that new laws on compounding centers should be elaborated.
Representatives of several states said that they did suitable job in their states and no any individual suffered from problems linked with contamination. Furthermore, they specified critically that they didn’t know what happened in other states.
When it comes to the FDA, its authority over such cases is not established properly. Federal court cases which were during past years weakened the authority of the FDA essentially. In addition to these unpleasant aspects, certain rules seem to be unclear.
Margaret Hamburg, the FDA Commissioner, proposed to improve the situation through the following modifications:
- to improve training of state regulators;
- to induce sharing information between the FDA and states;
- to remove ambiguity from laws.

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

Will historians forget about Lance Armstrong’s steroid scandal?

Another year has gone away. Thinking about 2012, what will you notice about sports? Which names will you pronounce? Will you remember amazing baseball players? Will you say about the ashamed American cyclist Lance Armstrong? Will you say about the London Olympics? Will you discuss concussions of football players? Will you note about suicides committed by certain professional football players? What will you notice about Melky Cabrera?
Of course, anyone will remember the case linked with Lance Armstrong while thinking about sports of 2012. Each individual will notice about the role of anabolic steroids in cycling and in other sports. Any individual will note about probable negative results of steroids used for athletic goals. Any individual interested in sports will remember what reporters have presented about anabolic steroids, cheating in sports and certain ways of sportspeople to succeed in professional sports.
Thinking about sports of 2012, you will possibly note about the steroid era in baseball and integrity of this sport. You will also say about dreadful deeds of Jerry Sandusky and his athletic career at Penn State.
But let guess what future generations will remember. What will historians say one hundred years later? Will they concentrate on stories connected with James LeBron, Melky Cabrera and Jerry Sandusky? Will they talk over concussions of professional football players? Although they will possibly discuss these cases, the most heat debates will be related to Lance Armstrong’s steroid scandal. This is a case which will be never forgotten. A lot of individuals will remember achievements of Lance Armstrong in cycling and his further downfall. Undoubtedly, they will also notice about his foundation Livestrong and impact of his spoiled reputation upon the charity organization. They will remember that usage of steroids led Lance Armstrong to loss of Tour de France titles, distancing from the foundation Livestrong and certain other troubles. Lance Armstrong will be ever in the memory of the American society.

Why haven’t great baseball players elected for Hall of Fame?

Fans of baseball and numerous other persons seem to be indignant by results of voting for the Hall of Fame. Some brilliant players have not been elected for the Baseball Hall of Fame. It is quite naturally that you also ask why they have not been elected. Under guidelines of voting, those that have displayed brilliant baseball abilities and contributed to their teams essentially 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 shown great skills and accomplishments while playing professionally. Why haven’t they entered the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Numerous voters state that they will never support those that have ever been related to steroids and/or other related medicines. Dopers should be sanctioned. Future generations should see that they will never really have success in sports, if they administer performance-enhancing drugs.
What would you do, if you were a voter? Would you support steroid users?
In fact, voters never possess entire information about admitted and suspected consumers of steroids. You can’t prove that Roger Clemens has really used performance-enhancing drugs. Many persons have suspicions but there is no any proof. How may voters refuse to support this baseball player? Are they sure that he has used steroids and other prohibited preparations? –No, they aren’t. That’s why it is unfair to keep Roger Clemens out of the Baseball Hall of Fame just because of suspicions.
While certain voters are ready to support suspected dopers, they state that they will never vote for an admitted consumer of steroids. Although it seems to be right, let analyze the situation better! Have steroids played any significant role in success of certain baseball player? For example, if even Roger Clemens has taken doping products, it is possible to convince anyone that he has had great success not because of steroids. Extraordinary achievements of this prominent baseball player have been manifested before his alleged steroid use. According to some affirmations, Roger Clemens has taken steroids since 1998 and then in 2000 and 2001.  But the most brilliant accomplishments have been done by him before 1998. Thus, nobody can affirm that anabolic steroids have helped Roger Clemens to have such great success. That’s why he should enter the Hall of Fame.
Moreover, why are numerous persons inclined to blame just consumers of steroids? Isn’t it the society that presses sportspeople to start taking steroids and other related products?

Steroid users and Hall of Fame…What do Hall of Famers think?

Certain members of the Baseball Hall of Fame affirm that consumers of steroids must never be in their club. They allege that such baseball players, as Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens don’t deserve to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. They are very happy that these persons didn’t receive needed percentage of voting to enter the Hall of Fame. According to them, it is correct. They allege that otherwise our kids get confused. They will suggest that they are allowed to apply anabolic steroids and whatever they desire and remain unpunished. So, it would be a negative example for future generations. Al Kaline, Goose Gossage and certain others that belong to the Baseball Hall of Fame have this point of view. They even point at cycling, as a good example to follow.
What occurred actually in cycling? The legendary American cyclist was accused of applying forbidden products. As a result, he lost his 7 Tour de France titles and sentenced to life-time suspension.
So, several members of the Baseball Hall of Fame suppose that cycling is a good example for baseball. Baseball players who are found guilty of doping should be excluded from this sport wholly. Record books must not include information about success of those that have been caught using forbidden substances. Those that have cheated should be punished appropriately.
Nevertheless, not every member of the Baseball Hall of Fame has similar point of view. For example, Juan Marichal supports Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, etc. He notes that these baseball players should be in the Hall of Fame. These players are stars in baseball. Nobody could prove that they have really applied performance-enhancing drugs. Since there is no any proof, suspicions mean nothing.
Under rules connected with voting for the Hall of Fame, baseball players that have great abilities and those that have contributed to their teams evidentially should be enter the Hall of Fame.  Of course, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were great players. They made essential contributions to their teams. That’s why they should be in the Hall of Fame.

Angel “Memo” Hernandez doesn’t desire to reveal his new methods for muscle gains

Every fan noted that the body of the American boxer Juan Manuel Marquez had been altered significantly. What caused such essential changes in the athlete?
Since Juan Manuel Marquez is connected with the admitted steroid dealer Angel “Memo” Hernandez, numerous individuals suspect that the boxer’s muscles have been enhanced because of anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines. Angel “Memo” Hernandez has been employed as a strength coach of Juan Manuel Marquez. This individual was linked to the BALCO scandal. As it was found out, this person supplied a lot of elite athletes with steroids and other related medicines. He presented information about several athletes who obtained banned drugs from him.
Learning that Angel “Memo” Hernandez has been a steroid dealer, a lot of persons suppose that he provides doping products to Juan Manuel Marquez. Certain suspicions and even accusations were presented by Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquiao’s trainer. Freddie Roach said that it would be excellent to subject the both boxers Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao to drug testing before the ring.
In fact, Freddie Roach didn’t have any proof. He focused just on enhanced muscles of Juan Manuel Marquez.
Later Manny Pacquiao’s trainer said that he didn’t mean anything serious. He affirmed that he was only joking.
Angel “Memo” Hernandez said that he was not only a coach. Since he is a scientist, he possesses great knowledge. He knows the best ways to get muscle mass and add strength. Angel “Memo” Hernandez notes that he knows the ways to do it legally. No any illegal medication is included in his methods. But he refuses to reveal his methods. The coach affirms that this is a secret.
As for Juan Manuel Marquez, he affirmed that he never took any forbidden product. He affirmed that it was not drugs that caused the obvious changes in his physique. Furthermore, he added that weight was not the main factor while fighting. According to him, a fighter should have intelligence, speed and strength in order to have success.
Neither Juan Manuel Marquez, nor Manny Pacquiao was tested for forbidden medicines before the ring. Such tests are usually conducted by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after rings.
