    They don't have the physiques of guys that juice.

    Plus their gymnastic capability is unreal.

    Are they just the 0.005% of the genetically gifted population or what?

    His gymnastics are extremely good. But weightlifting is genuinely world class. A group olympics would be possible

    So? Neither did Michael Rasmussen yet he admitted to juicing, and he looked like a corpse.

    Those tan lines though, :p


    Joking aside, I know nothing of the guy, but I'd assume was a cyclists. So guessing he was using EPO and blood doping. But was he also "juicing", as in steroids?

    Not saying he couldn't be, just genuinely curious. Probably takes the title ok skinniest steroid user if so.

    He took quite a lot of things outside of EPO. I can only assume because he thought they were broken given that he always looked like a PoW.

    HGH, insulin, test, IGF-1 to name but a few.

    He never tested positive though so maybe he was just kidding....

    I had a quick google ad turned up that quote. But I also wonder if guys from that era even knew exactly what they were being given.
