[Breaking Tweet] Lebron may be juicing: He and Agent associated with 'Roid Clinic

I dont understand why bball players would want to juice in the first place. Bball is like the only sport where JUST being strong means nothing! I can see baseball,football,hell even tennis. But bball???

U can be the strongest in the nba but if u cant shoot whats the point?

If u cant read the double team....whats the point?

If u cant hit free throws.....whats the point??

I always thought using performance enhancin drugs were useless especially in bball and soccer but i guess i was wrong.lol

Complete bullshit.. And from a bad source as well

Nothing to see here

Let me post this here also:

Widespread use of PEDs in the NBA is a thinly veiled secret.

The NBA is a business. Powerful hyper-athletes are good for business, the scandals that come with meticulous testing and PED use prevention are bad for business. See where this is going?


It's embarrassing to see the stans make those "player X is on PEDs" statements though. If LeBron is on some designer PEDs (which I'm sure he is), rest assured that your favorite player is also.

I think its just got to the point where they should allow it in all sports and not even bother testing for it. I'm sure heaps of players do it and athletes in every sport do it. If anything it would only improve sports viewing seeing guys ran faster, jump higher and be able to go harder for longer. In the end all the guys who get to the NBA or most of them get there due to being mentally tougher and having better skills, height and good basketball IQ. All drug testing would do is take out good players just like it has done in boxing and MMA which is not good for anyone.

Basketball in the end is a sport which requires a high level of skill most the time unlike pure explosive/endurance sports like swimming, running & cycling where taking supplements would be to much of an advantage.

No point punishing one person for something you know a lot of others do, there so much stuff on there they probably can't even test for.

That damn Rashard Lewis, such a bad influence. :lol

So the league allows him to constantly travel, use his off arm to get by people, and like we saw yesterday, to grab someone and blatantly push him down with one arm while "blocking" him with the other, this at PLAIN SIGHT of everyone.

Lebron can take all the drugs he can, he will never be exposed. Just look at how the big three were formed, the guy agreed to join another team while under contract, he forfeited a game and a series because of that, the Heat went as far as dumping a second pick because they knew he was coming, Wade publicly with a slip up about the time they all agreed to join up, i mean how much more illegal does it need get for people to realize nothing is happening?

NBE at it's best.

[FONT=Arial]I think they made the right decision officially banning certain substances, but simply not implementing any relevant measures to enforce this rule. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]For public perception’s sake it’s still important to maintain the image of being clean. This is just like the referee situation in the NBA. Everybody who follows the NBA closely knows there is some shenanigans going on and games are being manipulated. The exact degree to which this happens isn’t really known, but we all know it happens. That is certainly not the public perception of the sport though, the vast majority of the NBA audience doesn’t know this happens. If game fixing ever became a widely accepted aspect of the NBA’s identity th[/FONT][FONT=Arial]at would have an immense negative impact on the NBA’s popularity. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]I also think the way banned substance use in the NBA is clandestine helps to curb the worst excesses. The more PEDs you allow to be used, the further you advance the science and industry of these things and the further you push athletes to find a new edge.[/FONT]

What a reliable source :rolleyes:

Unless he got a couple injuries, I dont see why he would need steroids.

"Breaking tweet"

how depressing.

-Smak

If Lebron is using something illegal, the NBA will do everything in its power to suppress any information. A scandal like this would ruin their business for a long time. The 2002 match fixing scandal still looms over the league, the best basketball player in the world done for cheating would be disastrous for the NBA business as a whole.

100 dollars says Dan Gilbert is behind this. :lol

Anyhow, doubt Lebron is juicing. Dude is naturally tall, strong, and fast. Not everyone tall, strong, and fast using roids.

I don't think the NBA should be too concerned with performance enhancers. Most of the advantage gained in basketball would be in recovering from injuries and I think that is a good thing. In any case, steroids or HGH is not what makes Lebron great. Lebron is great because he's great.

Also, the story is probably a load of crap.

Incarcerated Bob is the absolute KING of Twitter hype and weasel words. I'd like to hate on the guy for being a complete fraud, but hell, can't knock the hustle. Hell, maybe it'll teach people a lesson that just because someone types some words it doesn't make them true.

I'm not going to accuse him of being a juicer until there is some hard evidence to support it. However, I've been around the sport of bodybuilding for many years and what I know about steroids has forced me to look at Lebron with a somewhat skeptical eye. We may never know the truth because I don't see the NBA letting their best player go down for using PED's.

If he is using I'm not sure that I even care. It's a corrupt world we live in. I don't have a problem accepting that reality. In this life the people that succeed are the ones that are willing to do what ever it takes. There are many examples to support this.
