One thing you can count on is that where there is big money there is corruption.

Any sport where there is huge financial gain whether you're an athlete, cyclist, horseracing, boxing etc any( sport) you need that edge epo, steroids, hgh are prevalent.

Seriously let them all take gear and let this man be in charge of the US Olympics Committee.

[@jamesberry4514]

Steroids can kill, if there are regulation the usage level is reasonably safe. In competition with no regulation e.g. body building, death under age 45 is common.

They crucified Ben Johnson for steroids and stripped him of all his medals even before he got caught but yet when American sprinter Micheal Johnson got busted it was swept under the rug.

[@Lo71987]

Imagine if Ben Johnson was american lol

[@sarojlimbu1740]

You forgot to mention Carl Lewis. He was tested positive and banned but later exempted him on the ground of medicational use and let him allowed to compete. Seems a whole lot of american athletes and sports person are being favoured.

[@MrSnevets70]

Micheal Johnson never tested positive, publically.

[@cld_crush_brthers_ultra_ma60]

When did Michael Johnson TEST POSITIVE 🐱❓❓❓

[@edwardr8826]

For people who are seeing this comment in the future, this guys comment isn't true and he's probably mistaking Micheal Johnson for Carl Lewis. Micheal Johnson is as clean as they come.

4:13 hold on, pump the brakes. wtf does johnie cochran have to do with sports?!

[@etchosts8162]

Ol Johnnie Cochran the Legend!

[@GODLIMIT]

Yet all they do is cast doubts on the Chinese swimming team that is less than SIX times likely to test positive as compared to the Americans, according to the anti-doping association -- not a mention in the Western press about this. More than 60% of American athletes are somehow exempted from doping tests citing ADHD and Asthma, as compared to 3% of Chinese athletes. Again, the western press is quiet about these hard stats. The American swimming team has been called the Asthma squad by fellow olympians for years, and it's a fact that their faces always turn purple after a race, which is a common symptom of performance enhancement drugs. Hypocrites!

[@jjgreen5206]

Victor is mixing truth with lies. He’s going to be self protective but at the same time he has an interest in cleaning up sports. The ends justify the means in this case. I hope he cleans it up. Keep talking Victor in 2023

[@RobertJBarnes]

Feel bad for Ben Johnson.

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

Why? Because the guy used steroids? What moronic logic. Whether or not he or everyone did steroids, and whether he or only a few were caught, pity for a cheater is plain idiotic. Its a kin to saying you feel badly that you feel badly for a guy who is cheating on his taxes because the IRS caught them, because others werent. Dumb.

Look in WWE - I can't wrestle anymore but I used to just inject 100mg Testosterone base in Oil (pharmaceutical) and was able to get and afford HMG (NOT HCG - that will show up on a piss test that one is PREGNANT - a DEFINITE ANOMALY FOR A MAN!) enough to take a lowish dose to just keep my balls normal and I mean if you had a test I was lucky I'd have 2-3 days notice and since I'd also take the LH and FSH and DHEA and inject 5-20ish mg of Epitestosterone the way I was tested was the ratio and so it was easy. But I haven't taken them in years... I'm 6'2 and 287lbs right now solid and that's with *NO* steroids but that shredded, veins bulging, massive shoulders, neck, lats, and that "chiselled" look.... that's CLEARLY steroids I mean look at e.g. Scott Steiner as "Big Poppa Pump" compared to NOW. Looks TINY! Lex Luger any of them.... I lost *all* my gains on steroids and though I got lucky and didn't have long lasting repercussions as of yet anyway it all looks fine - I think it's perfectly possible with diet and dedication and the right frame and conditioning to get to an Arnord Schwarzenegger in his Bodybuilding days kind of muscularity but the shredded look because if I were to diet down with *no* steroids to try get

[@1baby]

Wow, this is the first YT comment out of thousands I've read that shows actual knowledge of a good doping protocol that would work. Were you in the WWE then, it wasn't clear in your comment. Test base is definitely the way to go but you'd have to inject 3x a day to maintain steady blood levels, no? And the HMG is smart. Where did you find the epitestosterone by the way and how would you raise LH and FSH? Lastly, who taught you how to do this? This kind of stuff you can't find anywhere on websites or even steroid forums.

[@1baby]

Also did you run the testosterone during tests too or would you stop 2-3 days before?

[@jmoranretana]

I wonder if this "pulsing" on drug testing is somewhat similar to what it has been reported to Jon Jones

[@Underhills]

Could a certain former male Jamaican sprinter be all natural? Seems unlikely if we compare him with the other sprinters who were caught doing PEDs. Or was he simply an insanely naturally gifted athlete that we will never see the likes of again.
