    Don't listen to these people. You train a certain way and hit up the red cabbage, loose beets, kale and other veggies and fruits then get yourself some lean protein and you dramatically improve if you stay away from the junk food. You don't even need to waste your time with protein powders and garbage like that.. Train well and you get today's basketball players.

    What's worst is when there are these ESPN analysts that looked like they never train their whole life not only talking about sports but accusing people. These people should be charged and sentenced for their blasphemy.

    Do you guys think Westbrook is using PED's? I mean the amount of energy he has is insane but he maybe is just a monster.

    What is interesting about the way the world works now is that when testing does catch up, the history, character, records and titles and will be held accountable. And the players know it. So it's no longer if I can just make it to retirement I'll be clean. Your on record forever. If you take steroids, you are going to be better than everyone else and stealing their wages and titles, that's proven, and you are going to make a lot of money, so it really is just a question of if you are willing to make a fool of your accomplishments for money, because ultimately you will be caught. There's really no statue of Liberations on this stuff.

    What is even more interesting is what will the major sports do when steroids are on longer a health risk. Because that day too, will come. And then it gets real interesting as it's no longer a health issue, it's a moral issue.

    I don't think so. Wade and Kobe are my top PED suspects.

    My top suspects are Wade and bronbron.

    Sure it's used, why would a player not take it to gain an advantage? Especially the smaller tier guys trying to get their next contract.

    Say your a 2nd rd pick. You've made 1.5m going into final year of rookie contract. You've made a little role on your team but hey it's your contract year. You can beat out that veteran in front of you if you just had a little extra.

    And thus, the "contract year" guy was born. Focus dedication and intensity will do great things for a player, but if you add peds, well that's a new ballgame.

    @Liberon is high if he thinks all players improve naturally because they are so dedicated.

    If you could be promised the earning potential of 20-30m in a year's time at the short term risk your putting on your body, you will do it everytime.
