PEDs will give you the energy levels to ensure that you have the legs for an 82 game season though.
It's harder to put the ball in the hole with tired legs, and lower energy levels.

They also allow you to train harder by recovering quicker.

Yep. That too.
[QUOTE=tikay0]Funny isn't it? Has even a hint of something to do with Lebron, and its all good, JUST IN CASE Lebron gets popped.
Let this even hint towards Rose, and these flea bags are blowing this thread through the roof.[/QUOTE]
nah its not that you guys are just ignorant. PED's are just part of the game, as they are a part of pretty much every physical professional sport there is out there. Rugby, NBA, tennis, soccer, NFL, baseball, cycling, weightlifting, sprinting (yes usain is on drugs), swimming and most olympic sports.
The point is you can complain all day about it being unfair and unjust but sometimes you just have to accept the reality, PEDS are a part of professional sports, lets not waste time crucifying those who get caught and just drop this phisarde of political correctness and accept that as a professional athlete, there is a very good reason to be taking them.

Who's saying otherwise? :confusedshrug:
I follow MMA, boxing, and the UFC. I'm well aware that 90% of those guys are using PEDs.
MLB, duh. NFL, are you kidding me? NBA, Lebron. :oldlol:

lebron. thats why d rose hates that ******
No one here knows who's using PEDs. Furthermore, no one has an idea of what kind of PED players are using. A PED can be anything from a stimulant to an anabolic steroid to HGH and everything in between. PEDs are a broad group of drugs/substances used for different reasons. It's idiotic to compare pictures of someone as evidence of PED use. Someone could look like a human ball of Play-doh and be using PEDs. Look at Bartolo Colon. He's twice been caught using PEDs and he looks like he inhales extra large pizzas between innings.
Until we get names, all we're doing here is assuming. Everyone is within their rights to assume but that's all it is. No one but the people who are dealing and using know for sure.

I'm sorry but this is the ultimate political correct cop out answer.
You are right comparing pictures won't do much.
But these are athletes who compete for a lot of money as basketball is one of the best paid sports in the world, ahtletes who play a marathon like schedule in which performing consistently will make you more money than not. And get this, they don't test for it... You can safely assume the vast majority is using, because if they don't then somebody else will.
The drug of choice is growth hormone, it helps you burn fat, get lean, shorten your recovery time(most important as workout time restraints is a big factor during an NBA season), heals and strengthens joints and muscles.
You can write it off as "people are just assuming and nobody knows for sure", but it won't make it any less real, these athletes use in a big way.
I can't blame them for it with the money that's on the line, the schedule they have to play at a level expected of them would be almost impossible without it.
Wait! So did players like Jordan and Stockton use PEDs? Jordan must have been on something.
All the American NBA only fans here keep denying it.................

But it has been said here for a long time, that under the agreement of USA Basketball to play in FIBA and the Olympics, Team USA does NOT get tested for doping by the anti doping agencies of those bodies.
Rather that USA Basketball's OWN TESTING LAB does the tests, not FIBA or the Olympics, unlike other teams which get tested by the anti doping labs of FIBA and the Olympics.
Also, that Team USA's testing results never get released, they just say they passed without releasing the results. Unlike for the teams from other countries, where the test results are released by the anti doping labs of the Olympics and FIBA.

That's literally never discussed on the board. Never. Ill send you a dollar if you can find a topic that says NBA Players are drug free because they pass olympic tests.
Well, guys like Hedo Turkoglu have already been busted. If there are any superstars, expect nothing to surface.
[QUOTE=Straight_Ballin]At least we know the WWE is clean.[/QUOTE]
Funny u mention that
an Entertainment company has stricter testing
than the NFL,NBA,MLB,MLS,Boxing,Tennis,Golf,and MMA
That is really saying something
and then you look at the Olympics,the strictest standardized testing
you have stars,athlets not getting caught for years and decades,
Thats saying something.
When your drug testing is at a set date (NBAs)and
Not Randomized Its very easy to pass
especially if youre not testing for much anyways and players know when theyll be tested and by whom
Even the Olympics,US tests US players,come on
did Armstrong,Lewis,Jones,Gay
not say something while all the contemporaries
and their competition who was not American or wasnt the best
got busted
Come on,
The NBA should follow either Mayweathers
Random,Any time,Any place,Blood,urine,hair sample
Olympic style type drug testing or
WWEs random,multiple times every year,wherever,whenever,
and maybe even follow their punishment rate
1st time-30 days suspension without pay,
2nd-60 days suspension without pay
3rd time-terminated,lose rest of pay,cant come back for at least a year
These two would really clean up the league,especially if the punishments are so severe and the tests are random and done multiple times a year
Rashard Lewis got busted and so did Turkoglu and
they had light punishments
10 games is nothing
Go 30 days,60 days
thats basically anywhere from 13-20 games to
30-45 games
two months is massive
They get caught in Oct
theyre 1st game is in late dec or next year
get caught after all star break
and two months and you miss almost all the games left
