AAS in strongman

[Huge_C2]

How wide s[read is the use of AAS in the strongman world? You hear very little about it.

Every pro is on something, the top names generally do not go off and are on heavy cycles. Most of the guys are pretty smart about things and don't talk openly about it.

I believe powerlifting as a sport is pretty heavily tested as shown by the data below.
2008 USAPL Doping Control Report

Within the 2008 Calendar year, the USAPL conducted a total of 798 drug tests with the following breakdown:

■Total tests done by Quest Diagnostics: 769
■Total Tests done by UCLA, Cologne Labs: 29
■Positive tests: 13
■In Competition Tests: 700
■Out of Meet Tests: 98

If you are refering to the Strongman contests like the one carried by ESPN/Met-rx then no. The sport of Strongman does not enforce any sort of drug testing policy which basically means that if you compete at a pro strongman contest without using drugs then it is your own "fault" as they are in practical terms not illegal.

I was under the impression the pro strongman was tested. Correct me if im wrong but didnt Pudz test positive at one point?

There are no AAS testing in Strongman. Pudz tested positive for recreational drugs.

Many of the European Strongmen are actually sponsored by "Anti Aging" clinics.

Wow now thats the sponsor I want...

And Pudz tested psotive for Cocaine I believe.

There are both natural and greased athletes at all levels of SM.

Coke = recreational drug.

There are no well known pro strongmen that are natural. Many claim it, no one will back it up. I know plenty of guys that swear up and down that they're on nothing to the general public but talk openly amongst each other about usage.

The probably threw that in there for good measure and sadly some people would preceive roids as worst then coke. So for sensatializm as well.
