What would that lead you beleive.

Helwani asked about Chael's comments to the commission about using supplements to up his testosterone before the fight, Dana said yeah but he failed to elaborate. I don't think he knows much more than the rest of us to be quite honest.

1. Over the counter: There is always a new supplement that rivals steroids, sometimes they are actually stronger. Also test boosters will also jack up ones own limits. Both cases are illegal

2. Doc prescribed something: Where was the pre fight documentation, where was the proper procedure when they filled out their cards.

3. He didn't know: Umm yeah he did, he said he did...

4. Stuff was tainted: See above lol.

I doubt if you hear him say anything on the subject because there is very little he can say to counteract the "I might piss hot" comment..

Yep, the pre-fight comment without him filing the proper documentation was the proverbial nail in the coffin for me.

How can you explain that?

but it seems like the REAL reason that men don't want to take them is because they tend to shrink the beans.........

so my question is this.......are men concerned about bean shrinkage because of fertility...........or because no guy wants to have small beans..........or because of something else.......

does it really matter?! I mean small beans doesn't mean small frank......right? or is there another connection.........

I thought the whole expression....."Man he must have big ones!" was just that.......an expression.

I'm not drunk or high or anything else. This is a completely stone, cold sober question!

Yeah, I know I just hijacked this thread! But it's already 32 pages........

I don't have scientific research to back me up but from what I remember learning, long term use of high doses of steroids can cause the testicles to shrink due to them not having to make their own testosterone anymore. Also, steroids affect virility. The sex drive is decreased and it is hard to achieve and maintain an erection. I didn't search for scientific medical journals about it, this is just what I remember from school and from hearing guys talk about steroids back in the day. (There were rumors in the Texas high schools where I grew up that coaches were encouraging the football players to take steroids.)
