He is a legitimate person... Not make believe.
I could care less beyond that. Nonsense tests results don’t change anything is all.
LOL
Let me know when they start testing for HGH!

By all the studies done
HGH doesn’t even help with strength, it increases muscle mass but not strength or endurance. From everything I’ve heard it might help athletes recover from injury to tendon/ligament damage better, but it doesn’t do jack for actual baseline performance.

Well until something happens to suggest otherwise,

HGH dosen’t make you grow muscles. It helps you heal ligaments, plus recent studies have shown no ill health effects. The NFL is a year or 2 away from lifting the ban on HGH, MMA will soon follow.
Pain don't hurt...
A year or two away from lifting the ban?
Extremely doubtful. If anything they are a year or two away from actually testing for HGH. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/article/2010-05-21/galea-case-could-lead-hgh-testing-nfl

You really can’t effectively test for HGH, btw this is coming from my father who is a Medical reserch tech. Apparently HGH is being proven to be safe (as long as it’s used properly)
More reserch is needed but don’t be supprised if it’s made legal in almost all sports in the next 5 years.
Pain don't hurt...
Who you needs to come up with a test when you can just post a picture of someone on the internet and let the experts decide?
(as long as it’s used properly)
This is the case for most of the drugs on the banned list, but it doesn’t stop them from being banned…for many reasons.
Eh, not impossible
They’ve developed a test that effectively determines use within a 14 day range. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/03/30/new-hgh-test-emerges/
It doesn’t matter how ‘safe’ HGH is proven to be, they will never be allowed in sports because of the stigma attached to them of creating an unfair advantage. Steroids, when administered properly, are also quite safe but the NFL and MLB aren’t jumping to allow them in sports.

Shocker
In the grand scheme of things this isn’t going to stop anybody from saying anything. Its amazing how absolutely no evidence is required to accuse a guy of criminal activity at every single opportunity.

Hes not on GH, Hell he doesnt even really look like hes on roids. Look at guys at fucking 24 hour fitness.. they are BULKY. when you take steroids and lift heavy you get HUGE, THICK CHEST THICK LATS, he has none of that. I mean shit look at his brother hes a fucking gargantuan. Literally I gained 25 clean pounds in 12 months when i statred lifting heavy and eating a fuck ton.. Shit half of the people talking shit about overeem dont even eat 2000 calories a day!!!!!!
Does anyone feel that Overeem looked a lot less bulky against Rogers or is it just me? In comparison to some of his K-1 Fights. Or is that just how he looks in comparison to who he’s fighting?

Strikeforce has bad production, that’s why Overeem has looked “less” than in Japan.

I've noticed that about Japan in general
They use white ring mats which act as a bounce light that adds more volume.
Wait, so the company with a vested interest in him testing positive has announced that he tested positive?!?
SHOCKER!

Got this from WKR
The tests were paid for by Strikeforce were administered to every fighter involved with the televised card, all of which came back negative though results are still pending for Roger Gracie, Kevin Randleman, Brett Rogers and Andrei Arlovski.
We are still waiting for word on the Missouri Athletic Commission’s test, which were random, so they might not have even tested Alistair and even if they did we would only know the results if the Commission filed a legal papers about a failed test. So, this is as good as it gets.
Pain don't hurt...
The cheaters are always ahead of enforcement.....
When someone looks roided up or HGHed up whatever, they probably are. Floyd Landis taught us that. Overeem stands to make huge money being a superstar fighter, wouldn’t it make sense to learn about testing techniques and how to beat them. It’s just an investment in your career at this point.
Also, do you think Strikeforce, who I’m sure is swimming in money, got the very best lab available?
PEDs in sports are going to be something we have to learn to live with, and hope that A: the testers somehow some way get smarter than the cheaters and catch them, or B: the cheaters slip up and get caught before they wreck the sport.
Its a silppery slope to judge if a guy is on the juice based on looks, Barnett looks like he injects bacon fat but yet he tests positive for banned substances.

It's hard to argue with the RATE of his growth.
So to say something was up is just calling it as you see it. My main point is that cheaters are always ahead of testers, and the lab that Strikeforce used couldn’t have been a top lab.
There was a time that Floyd looked really roided up.

*why is it that it's considered OK on here to accuse REEM and not others*
when the only evidence given for reems alleged “use” is his appearance, nevermind the fact that past users like bonnar, barnett, etc. don’t look ANYTHING like what most peoples vision of a steroid user would be.
And why the “they don’t test for HGH so he must be on that!” statements too…. i mean, for that matter, anybody could be on hgh couldn’t they?
So either:
1 Megareem isn’t on the roids
2 Steroid testing is completely fucked
Either way, I’m wrong big time. But if you think that this means the end of Megareem jokes, ya got another thing coming.
Keep Firing, Assholes!

no smart person stays on roids
They cycle. This test proves MegaReem is smarter then Josh Barrnet and company. Which is a good thing to know.

Just to throw it out there...
There are alot of readily available ‘clean stream’ products on the market…and we did have this report from Josh Gross earlier:
“Alistair Overeem wasn’t at the head of the line Friday night at the Crown Plaza to submit a urine sample, though he was first. While other fighters couldn’t manage without some coaxing, the Dutch heavyweight apparently flowed like Amsterdam’s canals.”
I don't know what that says at all.
Friday was the weigh in and only two guys didn’t have to cut any weight: Arlovski and Alistair. He was able to stay hydrated, hence the full bladder and an easy piss.

Conspiracy theoreticians would imply that Alistair had a cup with piss ready to go.

I don’t really see what the point of him passing this drug test was, he was in out of the US for 2 years where he probably was drug tested once or twice if at all, he already has built up the mass he no longer needs to juice to keep it just work out constantly
Haters keep hating. Haven’t you seen Fight Club? Bitch tits are a side effect of steroids. They should make an announcement that Rogers was clean.

In This Thread:
People with no professional credentials on performance enhancing drugs accuse someone who has just tested negative.
You’re a bunch of grade A losers. The test comes back negative, he is innocent.
Now, go clamor for a test on Brock Lesnar you pussyfarts.
I don’t have any professional credentials, so tell me… is it not possible a fighter that knows a piss test is coming could pass the test?
