Juice in the NBA?

[hardgraf]

Do any of you think that steroids are commonly used in the NBA?

I play basketball in the English Basketball League so don't know the sports scene in the US. I know that juice is rife in football even at college level but can the same be assumed for basketball. Obviously some guys are skinny but then there's other such as Karl Malone for example at 260lbs.

If they are natural how do they get to that weight when remaining so lean & how do they maintain with such a cardio heavy schedule?

I'm 6'8/235 & have been lifting naturally for 3 years.

i personally think there is juicing in every professional sport . i mean look at some of those bodies and tell me that all of them are natural... not trying to run it for the ones that really are natural but of course there are a few juicers in every sport ... besides bowling

yes. definately some in NBA, alot in baseball, football, and i'm sure hockey. WWF wrestlers are the only natural ones. i would like to know what % of UFC and pride fighters juice. i know they get tested after each fight, and i know usually 1 or 2 fail for either juice or duiretics. i know someone who trains a top level ufc guy and he said they're on some new undetectable shit, homebrew...supposed to make them stronger, more aggressive and increase stamina and concentration...sounds good but who knows WTF it is...

i got alittle off topic w/ my response, sorry. i think lebron james is on the shit. he's pretty jacked for an NBA dude, and he's barely a man. there are others i see sometimes, don't remember names, but when i see them, i think they're on. some are just too big, lean, and too fast. they never get tired either, and don't get hurt(some).

where do you get that from? i dont watch that shit but almost everyone of them is jacked. Especially with the owner...whats his name Vince McMan? he went from old behind the desk owner, to jacked 50 yrs old wrestler in no time, along with his son Shane

 

[hanibal]

it's a fact, wwf wrestlers are natural, u dumb fuck...i'm kidding...

 

[black panther]

a friend of mine fights in pride and it is on his contract that he will not be tested for aas

 

[hanibal]

yeah well they definately do test in UFC for as and diuretics. i'm not 100% sure what the japs do.

I don't think Lebron is. He looked almost the same in high school. I guess that's the advantage of being able to do nothing but your sport since 9th grade cause you know you're going pro. I honestly don't think it's really prevalent in the NBA. A lot of those guys are skinnier in real life than the look on tv. 265 at 6'8 is a lot less than 265 at 6'3

PRIDE is hardcore when it comes to steroid testing. remember i think back in october when Vitor belfort and pawel nastula got popped? they got suspended and fined like 125,000 a piece or some shit.
