I follow amateur wrestling and MMA pretty closely and there's gotta be some unreleased steroids some of these guys are on.
Yoel Romero is a nice example I think. Olymic silver medalist, several times world champion, beaten several olympic gold medalist and world champions on numerous occasions in freestyle wrestling. He also happens to be an mma fighter now for those who are unaware and will be fighting for the title, again, soon.
First of, This guy is the definition of a genetic freak, he's, like joe rogan likes to say, built like a cgi character, literally. His tiny waist, traps and neck/head, bowed out athletic legs and huge quads. Extremely explosive with amazing reflexes, stretchyness and durabilty. Just the whole package. 5'11'', 200+lbs when he's rehydrated
He turns 41 next month and with mma being so cardio heavy he seems to do pretty well for a guy his age.
Ever since USADA came into the picture, many top MMA fighters physiques changes dramtically. Vitor Belfort, Overeem, Eric Silva, Johnny Hendricks to name a few, but not Yoel. Even at his age he still looks and performs the same. USADA has stricter testing than the olympics given they can test you anywhere, anytime unnanounced. With the olympics, many of the athletes will just time it before they go off to not get busted. So USADA testing is much harder. Which makes me think he must be on some undetectable stuff. The Iranians also have something going on I think.
Here's Yoel
There are several fighters that look totally different. This is one of them

While Yoel still looks the same
What's your thoughts on if we will ever see some of this stuff?
