Finally Lance Armstrong admitted to doping

Lance Armstrong was denying doping for years. Although he was accused of taking prohibited medications numerous times, he continued to claim that he never used banned drugs. 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.
However numerous athletes took performance-enhancing drugs and avoided detection successfully, there was something unusual in the doping case of the legendary American cyclist. The American cyclist reached great success in sports. He won Tour de France races 7 consecutive times. He obtained also some other awards. Lance Armstrong got worldwide success. Although he submitted to a lot of drug tests, he never tested positive for any prohibited preparation.
Of course, the American cyclist is not the only sportsman who has doped. Sportspersons have administered forbidden medicines during past years. They continue to administer steroids and other related medications today. And professional athletes will use them in future. Usage of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is spread in professional sports. Almost every sportsperson takes prohibited drugs. While some athletes test positive for banned medications and get bans, others avoid detection.
When it comes to the attitude towards Lance Armstrong’s doping, it’s mainly negative. Thousands individuals got great anger, when the well-known cyclist admitted to using EPO, the steroid testosterone and blood transfusions. Many individuals believed in him. They thought that Lance Armstrong was “clean”. That’s why their disappointment was significant.
And what do you think about “clean” sports? Anti-doping officers should ponder over this issue. While anti-doping officers state that they have sophisticated tests to combat doping in sports, many sportspersons take anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines and avoid detection.
While Lance Armstrong has admitted to taking banned drugs, anti-doping agencies should acknowledge that their programs are inappropriate.

Polish boxer: success is result of hard working

Przemyslaw Saleta’s attitude to Lance Armstrong’s cheating differs from that of thousands individuals. The polish boxer doesn’t condemn the American cyclist. Przemyslaw Saleta thinks that Lance Armstrong has acted like almost each professional sportsman. The 7-time Tour de France winner has taken forbidden drugs and lied about his doping. Nothing is surprising. Almost every sportsperson takes anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
While a lot of sportspersons that use prohibited preparations are caught by anti-doping agencies and sentenced to suspensions, Lance Armstrong has never tested positive for any prohibited medication. He was not caught, despites of having been subjected to thousands drug tests. Undoubtedly, Lance Armstrong is not the only sportsperson who has avoided detection successfully. Let take Chinese sportspersons as an example! The state sponsors them. The state provides money enough to acquire such products which are undetectable. Thus, a lot of Chinese athletes use doping products without being caught. It becomes obvious that athletes that have much money may take doping products and avoid detection. Lance Armstrong tuned out to be just one of such sportspersons.
The polish boxer Przemyslaw Saleta has an uncommon proposal. He believes that anabolic steroids and other related preparations should be legalized in professional sports. According to this athlete, steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are not dangerous for health, if they are used by adults that possess sufficient knowledge about ways to consume them properly. Przemyslaw Saleta claims that usage of steroids and other related products by sportspeople should be supervised by specialists. Thus, sportspersons are likely to prevent severe unwanted consequences.
Furthermore, Przemyslaw Saleta claims that anabolic steroids and other related drugs are indispensible in such sports, as cycling. Cycling is a sport where athletes should endure too extreme conditions while training and competing. Thus, steroids and other related medicines help cyclists to keep health in better conditions. Cycling in itself is dangerous without steroids and other doping products.
But Przemyslaw Saleta specifies that steroids and other related products should be banned in amateur sports. Furthermore, young sportspersons must not be also permitted to use these preparations because they may cause significant harm in them. Teenagers must not use such products because they may face severe negative reactions.
Nevertheless, Przemyslaw Saleta claims that it is wrong to suppose that anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs represent the key to success. According to the polish boxer, success can be obtained with the help of hard working.

Numerous pharmaceutical companies involved in illegal operations don’t get serious penalties

Thousands pharmaceutical companies violate laws. But only some of them are sanctioned harshly. A lot of drug manufacturers avoid serious penalties successfully. But only when serious scandals are caused by illicit operations of pharmaceutical companies, they are sentenced to appropriate sanctions. For example, everyone knows about the meningitis outbreak which has spread across the country because of contaminated steroid injections produced by a Massachusetts pharmaceutical company. Undoubtedly, owners and officials of the drug manufacturer will be sanctioned harshly. But when illicit operations of drug manufacturers don’t result in such serious troubles, they go on with their business successfully.
The media reports about illegal operations related to anabolic steroids, painkillers and other prescription medicines day by day. But you may notice that pharmaceutical companies get only light sentencing for illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other doping products. So, sportspersons and bodybuilders have free access to performance-enhancing drugs. They get anabolic steroids and other related drugs from compounding pharmacies and administer them for athletic purposes. Furthermore, certain pharmacies provide fake prescriptions for anabolic-androgenic steroids. Corrupt doctors supply customers of compounding pharmacies with prescriptions that are given without needed examination of customers’ individual conditions.
Compounding pharmacies are responsible not only for illicit distribution of anabolic steroids. Several companies manufacture drugs in unsterile conditions. As a result, numerous individuals get contaminated drugs and suffer from grave complications, applying  these drugs. Certain individuals even die from contamination resulted from administration of contaminated drugs. 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 influence on decisions of appropriate authorities. Criminal penalties should take place. Otherwise, health of thousands individuals is in a serious danger. Prescription drugs must be sold only under real prescriptions. All medications must be produced in sterile conditions. If pharmaceutical companies don’t obey all laws, they must be punished. They must not be permitted to continue with business, if they violate laws. Loss of licenses should be accompanied by other serious penalties.

Debates related to Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer

Although the ashamed American cyclist Lance Armstrong has been already deprived of his Tour de France titles and other awards, his steroid scandal is still hotly disputed. A lot of persons are still expressing their thoughts linked with this case. Not only his alleged intake of doping products is discussed but certain persons also speak about Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer. Why has Lance Armstrong suffered from this health problem in his young years? What has caused this disease in him?
Whoopi Goldberg, a prominent American actress is also implicated in disputes linked with Lance Armstrong’s doping scandal. While she has been chiefly involved in debates related to marijuana and other related drugs, now she has chosen to join those that fight against anabolic steroids and other related medicines.
According to Whoopi Goldberg, Lance Armstrong has suffered from testicular cancer because of steroid use. The actress considers that anabolic steroids are likely to cause cancer. She believes that these medications may promote appearing and developing cancer. Whoopi Goldberg thinks that specialists should inform people about probable tights between anabolic steroids and cancer. The actress notices that experts can determine whether Lance Armstrong has developed cancer because of steroids.
But what do other celebrated individuals think about Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer? Bob Weiner, a celebrated political commentator, notes that anyone should be very cautious while supposing that anabolic steroids are responsible for development of cancer. This man acknowledges that these drugs cause many undesirable results which are quite dangerous for users’ health and even life. But he notes that it is uncommon to demonize steroids for cancer. Such statements are serious. Bob Weiner considers 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 normally doesn’t occur in young persons. Why then has Lance Armstrong got it? Since scientific literature suggests that connections between cancer and steroid abuse may exist, Bob Weiner doesn’t deny statements of Whoopi Goldberg.
But as it has been already noticed, this issue is not included in those of anti-doping policies. Anti-doping officials focus on morality and they don’t care about protection of sportspeople’s health.

Distribution and usage of steroids for non-medical purposes

Manufacturers of medicines are inclined to illegal operations. Numerous pharmacies produce and sell counterfeit medications. As a result, consumers don’t get desired effects. Furthermore, counterfeit drugs may cause serious unusual unwanted reactions in consumers. In addition to these illegal operations, drug manufacturers also sell prescription medicines illegally. Anabolic steroids, HGH, painkillers and other drugs are offered for sale without any prescription. So, many persons apply these medicines for non-clinical needs. Anabolic-androgenic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are widely taken for athletic goals. Sportspeople and bodybuilders get and administer these drugs in order to increase muscles and get endurance. A lot of individuals want to be more muscular and combat tiredness during trainings and competitions. That’s why they choose to administer anabolic steroids and other doping products. Some other persons try to look more beautiful/handsome. So, they apply certain prescription medications for anti-aging purposes.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids, HGH and other doping products are widely available at online store. Some companies even hire corrupt physicians that supply customers with proper prescriptions. These doctors provide prescriptions without needed examination of clients and even without seeing them. Acquiring prescriptions, numerous individuals purchase anabolic steroids and other related preparations and take them for non-therapeutic purposes.
Although distribution and application of steroids for non-clinical needs are prohibited under laws of numerous countries, numerous companies avoid punishment successfully. While certain companies and persons are found guilty of illegal actions linked with drugs, they are rarely punished properly. Furthermore, they continue to produce and distribute anabolic steroids illegally.
Another problem linked with illicit manufacture and sale of anabolic steroids and other related medicines is following: certain pharmacies manufacture products in unsterile conditions. So, individuals that apply such preparations may be contaminated with some diseases. Sometimes contamination with a dangerous illness may be fatal for several consumers. The meningitis outbreak which has recently occurred in the USA is widely known around the world. 39 persons died because they used tainted steroid injections. So, proper officials should monitor manufacture of medications. If safety is not at the highest level, health of users is in a great danger.

Deadly meningitis outbreak could have been prevented

In 2003 the FDA had in mind to shut down the New England Compounding Center (NECC) that recently caused the meningitis outbreak in several states of America. The Massachusetts pharmacy manufactured tainted Methylprednisolone Acetate injections. Over 400 persons who administered the tainted steroid injections got fungal meningitis. This disease turned out to be fatal for 39 persons.
According to a late report released by the House of Energy and Commerce Committee, the meningitis outbreak could have been prevented. The report presented many cases related to the NECC which should have been shut down by the FDA earlier.
The FDA stated in 2003 that the Massachusetts pharmacy should not have manufactured drugs till improving of the situation. But finally the FDA didn’t ban manufacture of drugs at the NECC. Since the NECC was considered to be a pharmacy, it should have been ruled by Massachusetts officials. So, the FDA let Massachusetts colleagues to resolve the problem. As for Massachusetts officials, they didn’t ban manufacture of medicines at once. The NECC continued to produce preparations. Just Barry Cadden, the owner of the NECC, received reprimand.
Moreover, the Massachusetts pharmacy was accused of certain illicit operations. The company acted improperly under its license. Being a pharmacy, the NECC acted as a manufacturer and sent thousands dosages of drugs to hospitals and individual patients.
In 2002 some persons suffered from unusual side results after they had used bethamethasone injections manufactured by the NECC.
Later certain individuals who administered methylprednisolone acetate injections produced by the Massachusetts pharmacy were sickened with bacterial meningitis. Since these individuals received complete recovery because of antibiotics, the case was forgotten. The Massachusetts company was not sanctioned for the tainted injections.
These and even several other cases manifest that the Massachusetts pharmacy should have sanctioned earlier. The Compounding Center should have been closed for its illegal and inappropriate operations. But the NECC was never sentenced to any serious penalties. As a result, the company continued to manufacture medicines that were dangerous for consumers’ health. Finally, the meningitis outbreak caused by contaminated injections of the NECC spread to certain states and sickened a lot of persons. If the pharmacy had been shut down earlier, the contamination with deadly fungal meningitis would not have occurred.

Nobody can contest competence of Tennessee health officials

The meningitis outbreak caused by tainted epidural steroid injections could have been avoided. But since the FDA didn’t utilize its authority for this goal suitably, more than 500 individuals were contaminated with this disease and 39 recipients of the injections died.
Tennessee officials displayed unbelievable competence under these circumstances. They were praised by legislators for their definite actions.
It was reported that a lot of individuals who had been given steroid injections manufactured by the NECC suffered from complications. When Tennessee health officials found out about this situation, they enforced all health facilities to discontinue using 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 decisive. They acted with no doubts and did everything in order to prevent further contamination and improve help those that were already contaminated with meningitis.
If Tennessee health officials hadn’t been so decisive and competent, more persons would have been contaminated with fungal meningitis and more deaths would have been.
When it comes to the FDA, it showed incompetence. It didn’t use its power decisively in order to improve the situation. Then it tried to justify its incompetence, noticing that its authority was not cleared and established enough to interfere in such large-scale pharmacies, as the NECC. But the FDA’s excuse was not accepted.
Tennessee health officials merit getting a gold medal for their efforts.
Although several persons consider that they could avoid contamination, warnings about risks continue to exist. A lot of persons are still hospitalized. Others are visited by health officials. If any negative results occur at injection sites of those who have administered the tainted steroids, they must call physicians immediately.

He claims that he doesn’t want to have success with the help of banned substances because such methods can ruin his good name.

Two other drugs produced by NECC turned out to be contaminated

It is widely discussed about the meningitis outbreak which has happened in certain states of America. Contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections resulted in fungal meningitis in more than 500 persons. The contamination turned out to be tragic for 39 patients: they died. The majority of deaths took place in Tennessee.
It was claimed that contaminated steroid injections had been manufactured by the New England Compounding Center (NECC) that is based in Massachusetts. The FDA tested the compounding center in order to define what caused contamination and see the situation at the NECC. It was confirmed by the FDA that the contaminated steroid injections were really produced by this company.
The FDA told the Associated Press that it was evident that manufacture of products was unsterile at the NECC. The FDA said that leaking water and uncontrolled temperature were just several problems at the company. The equipment utilized for preparing of solution for injections was unsterile.
Furthermore, the FDA stated that there were some other contaminants. Several bacterial contaminants were found at the NECC. Although these contaminants were not real pathogens, they could lead to infection as well. These bacterial contaminants were found in such drugs, as Betamethasone and Triamcinolone. There were not any cases reported about contamination resulted from intake of these medications. But it was stated that these medications were also able to produce contamination. However the bacterial contaminants presented anywhere in the environment, they had not to be in medications. This fact pointed at unsterile conditions at the pharmacy and confirmed that the Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be contaminated with fungal meningitis because they were prepared in inappropriate conditions.
The situation made it clear that new laws on pharmacies should be established. Contamination should be avoided. Otherwise, health of Americans is in danger.

Barry Larkin wants to see baseball drug-free

Barry Larkin, a retired baseball player, expresses his negative attitude to athletes who have ever administered steroids and/or other forbidden drugs. He says that such baseball players that have ever been associated with performance-enhancing drugs must not enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. To be introduced to the Hall of Fame is the highest honor which is gotten by baseball players. Barry Larkin has been introduced in the Hall of Fame last year. He considers that consumers of steroids should not obtain the highest honor. They should understand that they have made a serious mistake, when they have decided to apply anabolic steroids and/or other related remedies. Their decision points that they should be out of this club forever.
Barry Larkin is one of  the most successful baseball players. He has receieved several awards, while playing professional baseball.
Barry Larkin also notes 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. Thus, he doesn’t have any possibility to enter the Hall of Fame. Barry Larkin notes that those who have ever used banned preparations should get similar sanction. They must not be introduced into the Hall of Fame.
Barry Larkin has played during the steroid era. He doesn’t want to blame those that have played with and against him. He doesn’t make rash conclusions about other baseball players. Barry Larkin notes that no any sportsperson should be blamed, if his guilt has not been proven. He remains to be innocent until it will be obvious that he has really administered steroids and/or other related remedies.
Barry Larkin also participates in teaching young sportspersons about dangers related to administration of steroids. He has established a charity foundation that has been called after his name. So, the former successful baseball player puts substantial efforts in order to make baseball clean. He urges young persons not to use steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Barry Larkin wants to see baseball drug-free.

Dana White: Anderson Silva can face any fighter

Dana White, the UFC president, continues to argue that the fight between Anderson Silva and George St-Pierre will take place. However Anderson Silva has noted that he is not interested in the fight, Dana White doesn’t lose his hope. The UFC president declares 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 be in April this year.
Since Anderson Silva and St-Pierre don’t express any bitterness to each other, fans want more fervently to see the fight between Anderson Silva and Jon Jones.
During interviews both Anderson Silva and George St-Pierre have said that they don’t want to face one another. Nonetheless, the UFC president claims that he knows the situation better. He argues that while Anderson Silva and George St-Pierre claim that they don’t desire to face each other in the ring, it isn’t true. Dana White notes that completely opposite words are pronounced behind the scenes. Furthermore, Anderson Silva never refuses fans’ proposals. The fighter always does what he should do.
The UFC president praises Anderson Silva. He states that this fighter has great abilities. Anderson Silva has demonstrated his splendid performance numerous times.
It is interesting to note that Anderson Silva has defeated Stephan Bonnar who has taken steroids.
Speaking about the fight against Anderson Silva, Stephan Bonnar claimed that his opponent displayed amazing abilities. He added that Anderson Silva defeated him entirely. He felt as if he hadn’t won any fight. So, Stephan Bonnar lost the fight, despites of his application of prohibited products.
The UFC president doesn’t stop praising Anderson Silva. Dana White is sure that the fighter evaluates his abilities appropriately and he knows that he can win any match. That’s why Anderson Silva is ready to face any fighter anytime.

FDA proposed to alter rules on compounding pharmacies

The fungal meningitis outbreak that started in September last year had obvious impact upon America. Contaminated injectable steroids were produced by the New England Compounding Center (located in Massachusetts) and given to numerous persons. As a result, more than 400 patients were contaminated with fungal meningitis in over 20 states. 39 individuals sickened with this disease died. 14 deaths occurred in Tennessee.
It became obvious that it needed to do anything in order to prevent such cases. Contamination must not occur 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 conference that new rules on compounding pharmacies should be established.
Representatives of certain states affirmed that they did proper job in their states and no any person experienced troubles connected with contamination. Furthermore, they noted with criticism that they didn’t know what occurred in other states.
As for the FDA, its authority over such cases is not established well. Federal court cases which were during past years exhausted the authority of the FDA obviously. In addition to these problems, some laws seem to be unclear.
Margaret Hamburg, the FDA Commissioner, proposed to improve the situation through the following modifications:
- to manage training of state regulators;
- to promote sharing information between the FDA and states;
- to remove ambiguity from laws.

These points seem to be justifiable. Such modifications will probably help to induce improving public health of Americans. Of course, if rules contain ambiguity, no any agreement will be achieved. That’s why new rules should be elaborated and existing rules should be modified.
The FDA hopes that state regulators will collaborate with it in order to prevent producing and shipping contaminated medications.

Lance Armstrong’s steroid scandal will be never forgotten

The year 2012 has gone away. Thinking about 2012, what will you remember about sports? Which names will you pronounce? Will you remember great baseball players? Will you say about the dishonored American cyclist Lance Armstrong? Will you talk about the London Olympics? Will you mention about concussions of football players? Will you notice about suicides committed by certain professional football players? What will you note about Melky Cabrera?
Undoubtedly, anyone will remember the case linked with Lance Armstrong while speaking about sports of 2012. Every individual will notice about the role of anabolic steroids in cycling and in other sports. Any person will note about possible side reactions of steroids applied for muscle and strength gains. Any person interested in sports will remember what reporters have written about anabolic steroids, lying in sports and certain ways of athletes to succeed in professional sports.
Thinking about sports of 2012, you will probably comment the steroid era in baseball and integrity of this sport. You will also mention about criminal actions 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 related to James LeBron, Melky Cabrera and Jerry Sandusky? Will they talk over concussions of professional football players? Although they will possibly talk over these situations, the hottest debates will be related to Lance Armstrong’s steroid scandal. This is a case that will be never forgotten. Many individuals will remember accomplishments of Lance Armstrong in cycling and his further downfall. Of course, they will also notice about his foundation Livestrong and influence of his spoiled reputation upon this organization. They will remember that administration of steroids led Lance Armstrong to loss of Tour de France titles, distancing from Livestrong and some other troubles. Lance Armstrong will be always in the memory of the American society.

Roger Clemens should be supported by voters

Fans of baseball and numerous other persons seem to be perturbed by results of voting for the Hall of Fame. Some great 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 rules of voting, those that have shown great baseball skills and contributed to their teams essentially should be elected. Undoubtedly, such baseball players, as Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire and several other sportsmen have demonstrated great skills and accomplishments while playing professionally. Why haven’t they entered the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Numerous voters affirm that they will never support those that have ever been linked to steroids and/or other related medications. Dopers must get penalty. Future generations should realize that they will never really have success in sports, if they take performance-enhancing drugs.
What would you do, if you were a member of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America? Would you support steroid users?
In fact, voters never possess complete information about admitted and suspected steroid users. You can’t prove that Roger Clemens has actually administered performance-enhancing drugs. Numerous persons have suspicions but there is no any proof. Why should voters refuse to support this baseball player? Are they sure that he has used anabolic steroids and other prohibited preparations? –No, they aren’t. That’s why it is wrong to keep Roger Clemens out of the Baseball Hall of Fame only because of suspicions.
While some voters are ready to support suspected consumers of steroids, they state that they will never vote for an admitted steroid user. Although it seems to be fair, let review the situation better! Have steroids played any essential role in success of certain baseball player? For example, if even Roger Clemens has taken performance-enhancing drugs, it is possible to convince anyone that he has had great success not because of steroid use. Great accomplishment of this well-known baseball player have been demonstrated before his alleged usage of steroids. According to certain affirmations, Roger Clemens has applied steroids since 1998 and then in 2000 and 2001.  But the most brilliant accomplishments have been done by him before 1998. Thus, no one 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 a lot of persons inclined to demonize only consumers of steroids? Isn’t it the society that presses athletes to start using anabolic steroids and other related preparations?

Some members of Baseball Hall of Fame support Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds

Some Hall of Famers assert that steroid users must never be elected for their club. They state that such baseball players, as Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens should be kept out of the Baseball Hall of Fame. They are very pleased that these athletes didn’t receive needed percentage of voting to be in the Hall of Fame. According to them, it is correct. They suggest that otherwise our kids get confused. They will suggest that they are permitted to use steroids and whatever they want and remain unpunished. Thus, it would be a negative example for future generations. Al Kaline, Goose Gossage and some others that belong to the Baseball Hall of Fame have this opinion. They even point at cycling, as a good example to follow.
What occurred actually in the world of cycling? The successful American cyclist was accused of applying prohibited medicines. As a result, he forfeited his 7 Tour de France titles and sentenced to life-time suspension.
Thus, certain Hall of Famers notice that cycling is a good example for baseball. Baseball players that are found guilty of doping should be excluded from this sport totally. Record books must not include information about success of those that have been caught taking banned preparations. Those that have lied should be punished appropriately.
Nevertheless, not each 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 says that these baseball players should be in the Hall of Fame. These individuals are stars in baseball. No one could prove that they have actually applied performance-enhancing drugs. Since there is no any proof, suspicions mean nothing.
Under rules related to voting for the Hall of Fame, baseball players that have great abilities and those that have contributed to their teams obviously should be elected for the Hall of Fame.  No one doubts that Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were great players. They made essential contributions to their teams. That’s why they should be elected for the Hall of Fame.

Angel “Memo” Hernandez reminds that he is also scientist

Any fan noted that the body of the American boxer Juan Manuel Marquez had been altered essentially. What led to such dramatic changes in the sportsperson?
Since Juan Manuel Marquez is connected with the admitted steroid dealer Angel “Memo” Hernandez, many individuals suggest that the boxer’s muscles have been increased because of anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs. Angel “Memo” Hernandez has been hired as a strength coach of Juan Manuel Marquez. This person was connected with the BALCO scandal. As it was learnt, this individual supplied many top athletes with steroids and other related preparations. He provided information about some sportspersons who obtained prohibited medicines from him.
Knowing that Angel “Memo” Hernandez has been a distributor of steroids, a lot of individuals suppose that he provides doping products to Juan Manuel Marquez. Certain suspicions and even accusations were expressed by Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquiao’s trainer. Freddie Roach said that it would be excellent to subject the both fighters Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao to testing before the fight.
In fact, Freddie Roach’s suspicions were not based on any drug evidence. He focused only on enhanced muscles of Juan Manuel Marquez.
Later Freddie Roach said that he didn’t mean anything serious. He said that he was just joking.
Angel “Memo” Hernandez reminded that he was not just a coach. Since he is a scientist, he knows a lot of things. He knows the best methods to obtain muscle mass and gain strength. Angel “Memo” Hernandez claims that he knows the ways to do it legally. No any illegal product is included in his methods. But he refuses to reveal his methods. The coach specifies that this is a secret.
As for Juan Manuel Marquez, he affirmed that he never took any forbidden preparation. He affirmed that it was not drugs that caused the evident changes in his physique. Furthermore, he added that weight was not the main factor while fighting. According to Juan Manuel Marquez, a fighter should possess intelligence, speed and strength in order to have success.
Neither Juan Manuel Marquez, nor Manny Pacquiao was tested for banned drugs before the fight. Such tests are normally conducted by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after rings.
