I know this horse is beat to death but one more thing. I remember back in the day the top guys coming off a 30min moto and just about falling off the bike. covered in sweat and just spent. With in the last few years guys pull into the pits pop the helmet off and are doing interviews. I think if we see guys beat dead and just spent after a moto then I think it could be telling to what has been going on. So this isn't about who is or who isn't, how they test or any of that. Do you think we will see a difference at the end of the moto's?

No doubt...probably won't be anybody finishing a complete moto due to exhaustion...

Unless a big guy gets caught, it's just gonna cost the promoters or whomever is paying for it a lot of money and the fans and everyone else will never know the difference.

Oh you guys know I was kidding.. I kid.. I kid... It is only OK to poke fun of riders you are a fan of. It wouldn't be funny if folks hadn't seriously speculated about that here.

Grant Langston stated he witnessed ped use. I think it was a DMXS interview.

Risks
Many athletes take anabolic steroids at doses that are much higher than those prescribed for medical reasons, and most of what is known about the drugs' effects on athletes comes from observing users. It is impossible for researchers to design studies that would accurately test the effects of large doses of steroids on athletes, because giving participants such high doses would be unethical. This means that the effects of taking anabolic steroids at very high doses haven't been well studied.

Anabolic steroids come with serious physical side effects as well.

Look around the pits for..

Men may develop:

Prominent breasts
Baldness
Shrunken testicles
Infertility
Impotence

Women may develop:

A deeper voice
An enlarged clitoris
Increased body hair
Baldness
Infrequent or absent periods

Both men and women might experience:

Severe acne
Increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture
Liver abnormalities and tumors
Increased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol)
Decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol)
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Heart and circulatory problems
Prostate gland enlargement
Aggressive behaviors, rage or violence
Psychiatric disorders, such as depression
Drug dependence
Infections or diseases such as HIV or hepatitis if you're injecting the drugs
Inhibited growth and development, and risk of future health problems in teenagers

Hmmmmm I noticed the above symptoms at a Monster Truck show, but as far as I could tell, it was brought on by excess beer consumption. Same as a Country and Western bar I was at once, too. (don't ask)

I Don`t think steroids would help with moto as far as reducing arm pump , it would most likely make that worse ! EPO may help though at least with cardio endurance and being able to maintain a higher heart rate , find me a drug that stops arm pump and I`l swim through a pool of dog shit to get it .
