PEDs are illegal and not allowed in motocross racing.
I don't doubt that he struggles with weight and energy, but it's not a thyroid issue at this point. It's just not a plausible explanation after this long. Finding a stable dose of synthroid doesn't take that long and he could just run a little high for a while if they can't get it perfect and it would only be beneficial.
Good point. Now if only the AMA drug testing program was relevant. Motocross has been dirty with performance enhancing dopers for 25+ years, minimum.
You can have it removed in an afternoon.

What is the current status of PED testing in moto?
For a while it was all anybody talked about. Now we never hear a thing.
But you have to try and manage it first
Don’t tell the fans that.
That’s a pretty bold claim to make, you have any evidence that supports that statement ?
Right, and then you’re on drugs the rest of your life trying to manage it. Now let’s throw in the athletic aspect of a guy in his early 30, and it’s not really that simple at all trying to constantly keep your levels in check. Honestly, if he was just some dope off the street, he’d be fine, but he’s not.
You don't withdrawal from PEDs like heroine or alcohol. You could argue a lower level or performance, but unless you think that Baker is giving his guys a bunch of synthetic thyroid medication to lose weight or something and thus rendering their actual thyroid/pituitary inactive, your narrative makes no sense. There are much better ways to shed weight than taking sythroid or similar
Yes
It's actually easier to keep levels in check via exogenous means(supplementing for thyroid, or taking TRT for testosterone levels) than it is managing things naturally. Why you may ask? Because lots of factors go in to your bodies hormone production IE sleep, nutrition, workload, stress etc etc. When you replace your bodies own production with synthetic substances, non of that matters and it becomes way easier.
Why is it that the only ones “caught” have been affiliated with Baker? Why do riders that leave his camp suddenly develop autoimmune deficiencies? This is a pattern.
Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck………DUCK!
Steiny and uptite checking in within minutes of each other lol.
Who has been caught other than Stewart, Clason and Tickle?
I knew once PEDs were brought up we'd have a screen name change
Who is signed in to this account today?
I take it you don’t understand sarcasm?
Pit Row
Believe what you want, that wasn’t me.
He's 'banged up' with 'thyroid issues'...oh, and with a bit of 'Epstein Barr' thrown in for good measure...
Bunch of medical experts weighing in on Vital….
”You can have a thyroid removed in an afternoon..” LMAO. Okay, dumbass, let’s remove your thyroid today and I expect your ass back to work full stop tomorrow….
🤣
/s/ El Capitan, M.D.
He's released a statement, now fans can decide if they support him or not. Good enough for me.

Pretty sure truck is an actual doctor
Then he is surely tugging on our Willie’s. 😬 But, hey, we are all doctors—and lawyers—on Vital! 🏁
Not me bruh, I’m retired! 🤣
Someone should have explained that to my wife. She has been dealing with Thyroid issues for over 30 years and it changes all the time. i have learned how to recognize it by the mood swings. Her synthroid levels change as well. As far as just taking out the Thyroid, that is not always a fix or an option. It does sound like you or someone close o you is dealing with Thyroid issues but all are not the same.
Only if you show up with paraphimosis or an erection lasting longer than 4 hours. Then there's tugging, squeezing, compression dressings, scissors, big needles, lots of blood..... it's a glamorous job sometimes.
A 50 something female with hypothyroidism and ever changing hormone levels of all kinds is not the situation Anderson is dealing with. And even in your situation, you recognize the signs and adjust accordingly, move on with life.
I've asked before what Anderson's specific diagnosis is but either way the notion that this is derailing his career is just not believable. These conditions with varying symptoms just end up being the catch all thing that everything gets blamed on.
