Muscletech ruins Olympic dreams :-(

The U.S. Men's Bobsledding Team has gone without winning a medal in Olympic competition since 1956. The current teams, led by driver Todd Hays and backed by top pusher Pavle Jovanovic, figured to change that this go-around, and were favored to finish these Games in possession of at least a bronze.

Yet on Jan. 26, Jovanovic was barred from competition by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after minute amounts of a banned muscle-building steroid were found in his system. The 25-year-old Toms River, N.J., native denies using the substance, blaming a contaminated protein powder for his positive results, and appealed the ruling. On Feb. 7 his appeal was denied, crushing his last chance at racing in these Olympics.

NitroTech was the product. HBO had three tubs tested from all around the country and all were contaminated. Muscletech denied it all. HBO gave them 3 lab reports. They denied them all. Nice job at ruining someone's life. Looks like they have bigger fish to fry than the Elite bashing.

That MucleTech is nasty ass shit. I heard it made Wilyumyum go into such a bezerk 'roid rage that he beat the crap out of some sweet little stuffed animals and made them cry.

Congress has got to ban MuscleTech.

Sorry, I don't buy it. While I will agree with the fact that there are traces of nandrolone in nitro tech. Due to the minute amounts and the levels which must be in your system to test positive, it is not possible for this to result in a positive drug test.

And while I totally, disagree with the Olympic testing procedures, due to the fact that probably 80% of these athletes are or have juiced. He did test positive.

I will give either him or his attny credit for knowing there shit. It has been known for some time that some of these products contained nandrolone. And I have just been waiting on someone to actually use this as a defense, although weak it does have some merits.

And I would love for this guy to sue the IOC and WADA's ass off and win. That would make my day.

Yup agree with Nautica. True that NitroTech has or had nandrolone in it. But that dude was lying just like all the others who've been using that poor defence. Come on, I've heard that BS so many times. First for using Muscle-Tech crap they dont even deserve their medal lol

Lying fucks.

There was a geezer on TV the other day (english I think) who won a gold winter olympics medal. The event was slalom skiing. The offending substance was anphetamine (speed). His defence? He was using a US inhaler containing said substance. He even had a spokesperson claim that "what would he have to gain from knowingly using the drug?" "..The event is dependent on gravity and such a drug would have no benefit"

Ok, so we are so stupid as to believe that anphetamine would not help skiing slalom. What with it's dependence on gravity. An increased alertness and hence reaction times would have no benefit...????

Bollox.
