To All The Competetive Fighters Out There

I've heard of halo and looked...I'm not one to care about side effects after a while of popping pills and drinking, but most places that claim to sell any type of androgonic steroid don't even have halo listed.


Excuse my typing if it is slurred.

Oh there is plenty around, but I can't help you there, bro.

Maybe you should go natty.... Ali and Bruce Lee didn't juice.

Was Mike Tyson on anything?

The guys in the smaller shows are juiced to the gills. Its typical for a guys with less talent and skill to look for that edge.

The top fighters do not juice, and when they do, it is smaller dosages of short acting juice just to help them get more out of their training. Come fight day though, juice is fucking useless. It really is not part of the equation in an MMA fight... The top talent know this better I think than that guys at the smaller shows.

Have you ever put it on the line in a cage bro?

Have you ever put it on the line in a cage bro?

you don't have to be in a cage to "put it on the line" bro ...street fights can be (and often are) much much worse ...no ref, no medics, & absolutely no rules

I can one-up that if we're going to start talking stupid. Have you ever put it all on the line in a steel-cage-barbed-wire-chair-swinging match? I think we're talking about professional and amateur athletes and not yim-yams getting drunk and street fighting.

Many organizations test pro. It's usually set by the athletic commission. If you fight for money you're pro, and therefore get tested on many occasions in the bigger shows or just main events. Ametuers 99% time won't be tested.

I run a promotion,fight, and have been in the scene for a bit. This is usually the case.

i train and fight amateur and let me tell u steroids r a big part of the game

I see that as being a bad thing.



I think that Steroid use among athletes is the reason why they were criminalized in the first place. Continued use by athletes is part of the reason enforcement will continue at this rate. The reason why noncompeting users will continue to go to jail.
The guys who take steroids and then enter an arena of competition, are the ones fucking it up for the rest of users who DON'T compete...

Thats not to say that if you use Steroids you shouldn't practice a sport you love. But I think it does mean that you should keep your involvement to that, JUST PRACTICE. You should not step into an playing field against another competitor while cheating the rules of the sport/league... Even if he is.

I know it sucks to have morals and standards that keep you honest when you have to compete against cheaters. But cheating like they do to level the playing field for yourself is still wrong and creates and escalating problem.

Thats my humble opinion on the subject.
