Re: Steroid abusers of the past
- I forget which one of the prominent NY Mags it was, but the medical community is pushing Testosterone as a health supplement for regular men.
I'd guess the thinking is that for a long time many modern Men were not manly. ie the pasty white Mark Zuckerberg here now juiced with a little bit of color to him...

As I have mentioned before, all the waterways in the world contain traces of cocaine, Viagra and it's knockouts, various steroids, ect, ie major waterways can't pass drug test, now how about that?
Same deal with microfibers that all the world population now have in nanogram excess.
Meanwhile back at the pass, Federal Inmate Vic Conte's VADA Vitamins are perfectly legal after Vegas Doc Margaret Goodman help him found VADA. She managed to lose Wlad's Brewster collapse drug testing in a fight where the gaming houses shut down wagers on the fight after huge Brit $$$ came in betting on Lamont Brewster who was a nothing then.
Shortly after the fight Klitschko was rushed into the hospital. The examination showed Wladimir's blood sugar level almost two times higher than the permissible norm.
After returning from the examination to the hotel, Klitschko fell ill with nausea, followed by physical weakness.
On April 12, Wladimir arrived in Las Vegas and donated blood and urine samples for an independent examination, which was supposed to be done by Donald Katlin, who specialized in such cases. The examination showed no signs of anabolic steroids in his blood, but Katlin suggested that Klitschko could have been poisoned with Haloperidol. The drug has no taste or smell and causes mental disorders, which are accompanied by impaired coordination, a weakening reaction and overall physical weakness. After that, Wladimir demanded the tests taken by the Medical Center of South Nevada and the Nevada Quest Diagnostics to be passed on to Dr. Robert Wow for further research. However, the A sample had been disposed of, while the B sample, which was supposed to be stored for years, disappeared.
Only in boxing, folks...

He had his vitamins on the Market in 1983/84 called "Mike Weaver's Power Pack"
(I should have bought some jst for the package as a collector's item)

Re: Steroid abusers of the past
Sorry, every top fighter. Maybe not 70s, but i am sure top level guys from 80s and 90s were roided from rock to bottom. Then Doping testing came. They are still blasting gear, but more carefullyControversial wrote: ↑07 Aug 2026, 05:14Every fighter?

Re: Steroid abusers of the past
I wouldn't say it was every top fighter either, I can't see McGuigan doing it, he's very anti-drugs.Cent0089 wrote: ↑07 Aug 2026, 05:41Sorry, every top fighter.

Re: Steroid abusers of the past
we talking stricky Steroids (as in bulking up) or Performance enhancing ?
Which fighters from the 1940's. 1950's, 1960's and 1970's seemed to be really 'bulky" for their weight division ?
Which fighters back then used 'weight-lifting" in their training ?
