      ill never understand what the general american population is thinking when they bad mouth him or other athletes... i mean.. they wanna see 500ft homers....100mph fastballs on a regular basis.... they wanna see bone crunching hits, 80yd passes and a reciever who runs the forty in 4.2 and has a 4 ft vertcal leap catch it in the back of the endzone...they wanna see dunks from the free throw line....etc... but yet when they are caught or admit using PED's then they are ridiculed.... why?.. i mean genetically as generations pass are getting bigger, stronger and faster then in generations past....so it may appear as if they are using when in fact they are genetically gifted...but in order to keep this up or improve they may take things to go past genetic potential.... in order to give fans what they want....and more importantly to make more money to provide for their families.... it just doesnt make sense... why ridicule them for taking something that helps them entertain fans and make more money for there wives and kids... and these are the same athletes who donate money to charities and visit hospitals that kids look up to to brighten their day

      well boys i had this discussion in the gym today. i knew he was cheating as did everyone else. cycling is a very dirty sport and every freaking one of them does it. all of them do and if you think otherwise you are stupid. it is the exact same thing across all pro sports as well. these guys are light years ahead of the medical community at maximizing human performance and not getting caught. now with that said, genetics and hard work are what made him successful not the drugs. just like baseball, i couldnt do exactly what he did and win all those races nor could i roll out and knock a baseball 400ft or more using what they use. they are playing on a level playing field and if you think it isnt going on you are sadly mistaken. who cares, if you dont want it in sports then dont support them and they will go away but if you think it will ever be totally clean and equal you are nuts

      well said guns. people think its the drugs but we know its the hard work that we put in. i've met/saw plenty of guys that thought a cycle of supps would turn em into mr. O lol. some of em didn't even train and still believed it. wake up people!! this doesn't come easy. it takes hard work dedication consistency and that's just to name a few!! ignorance can be fixed but stupid is forever and apparently a lot of these people are just plain out STUPID imo

      Its tough to hear nieve people talk about the subject. Like guns stated it is used bigtime across all sports including some that would probably even surprise us. Anabolic steroids work bigtime as performance enhancers. But the playing field is pretty level cause most dope. One thing that would be hard to calculate is how much of an advantage it gave an individual person. It would be a cut and dry advantage.

      I know for a fact say if i was in a wiffle ball league and hit some test it would improve me alot. More test, more aggression, more focus, more competitiveness. It wouldn't make a ball player have better hand eye coordination but it would make that person at there best more consistently. It why guys are better at sports than girls even with size and strength put aside. Its the testosterone i tell ya.
