Last word?
I don't know about you but all this time spent on weather LA is doping or not is just about as productive as using unterminated seed in the
desert. Dead is dead especially in infertile soil. I want to look at all the different guys in the last 20 plus years that have shown 'signs' of roids and doping.
It is necessary to look at what I remember to be the first roid droid from football, Lyle Alonzo. This was back in the late 80's when no one really knew about HIV, roids or personal computers. I remember seeing Lyle as a defensive back and what a monster he was, the first of the really big-big guys in football. He was truly an outrageous gay with a huge attitude and the power to back it up. He also went on the pro wrestling tour for a while to be fairly successful. Then he dropped out of sight for awhile and turned up just thin and looked beat like and old horse. As he unfolded his story on a late-night talk show my first thought was...WHAT?
You know back then I thought that all the fuss was stupid but when you look at the body builders from the 90's and all the roid connected deaths, strokes and uncontrollable rages I began to understand that this is a problem. So then I dug around in the old noodle only to remember that the guys who did steroids lost their ability to reproduce children and became inhumanly hugh in the muscle dept., you know, freakish. http://www.lifeinthefastlane.ca/when-bodybuilding-and-steroids-go-too-far/offbeat-news/comment-page-6
So anyway I think there is a difference between steroids and doping of the 21st center but with this one similarity, side effects over the long run. Yeah, side effects. If someone consistently did any kind of drugs or enhancers it would be evident over a period of time. I know how prescriptions can effect a person over a period of time I can only imagine what kind of weird side effects it can have now with these designer drugs such as EPO. http://www.vet.uga.edu/VPP/CLERK/strait/index.php This study was done on a dog but with what would be the same effects in a human. LA does not show these signs. http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=3874 The control labs and finale board of hearing for Taylor Hamilton in 2005 admitted that some problems in the lab with switching bar-code labels on the blood still didn't make him innocent. A test can only be as good as the integrity of those who give it and those who oversee it. This point is relevant in all walks of life, But to look at a couple of recent guys that were skinny and not very successful in their sport then BAM, they blew up take a look at these guys, Mark Mcgwire, Chris Beloit, Do the research and be the judge for yourself. But either way lets stop the witch hunt, all that does is kill innocents and we look like idiots in history!
So When I look at LA all I can say is "it's been 10 years and either fish or cut bait". That's a normal thing to say when you are so tired of the gamesmanship and other b.s. that only takes the energy of everyone from the fans, the officials and even the media who's life's blood is in scandal and hype. I'm sorry but let's move on and look at what has been the accomplishment and not the dark cloud the surrounds this guy...and hey congrats to the new father Lance. Enough about LA now, move on.
If I pass you on the road stop at Peets, because your buying.
