This is a long read but pretty interesting.

Cool...I'm going to have to come back to this one when I get some time...I've heard some interesting stories about those days.

Just goes to show you how long that stuff has been a part of professional sports. The same probably goes for baseball.

reading now. ESPN has been talking a lot about the stuff recently with the baseball suspensions, lance armstrong (again x 1000), and even had victor conte on one of their shows.

Iv heard before how the chargers in early 60s distributed dbol to the team

will report back.

Read it and honestly nothing was surprising

Hmmmmm.... only 15mg of dboll.

Shit was dosed right back then.....my dad used to get dbol from his doctor in the early '70's.....they never did test back then according to him. It was always dbol....

I thought the most interesting part was that that majority of pro football players didn't ever touch weights. Crazy.

Get them to start hitting weights and hit them with pharm-grade dbol and I bet they saw some nice changes.

It's absolutely crazy if you look back at the players of the 50's and 60's.....they were not big at all by today's standards. Alot of teams had their one or two REALLY big guys, big corn fed bastards, but not like today, at all.....Of course sports are MUCH more lucrative now. Kids are being groomed (even fattened up) by their parents and coaches to be successful at higher levels from the moment they show even an inkling of talent or potential.....The average High School lineman is bigger now than those of the NFL in that time period....to me that is just crazy.....Guys were leaner then and much more athletic than the average person, but even today, the 325lb lineman is athletic as hell....

At first I was reading an interesting story of the first off-season training program, which happened to coincide with the first usage of chemicals.... but then it degenerated into the same old propoganda shit.

"Their average age was 53.5 years. It's possible the steroids had some impact." The average age of the other players in the 1963 NFL season isn't mentioned... because it wouldn't prove or disprove shit - better to make the reader go "oh my gosh thats so young, shame on these trainers."

Did anyone else cringe when the spitting of dbol onto the field is mentioned? lol ignorant bastards

Actually wonder how much truth is in that statement... I bet its alot more than you would think...

one thing is for sure is since farmers started using bovine gh to increase their dairy output etc youll notice a correlated time line of when its use became more prevalent and in the increase in growth and development of newer aged generation children/teens....

for example... young females in general over the last 10-15years that were in adolescence/teens, if you were a normal sex driven male you would have to do a double take cuz on a more frequent basis, the thick ass/hips and fat C/D/DD+ cup tits you first noticed didnt pair up with the little girls face you'd notice soon after of a girl who was probably only 14-17 years old....

there is no way you can tell me there isnt some relation and that its merely peoples genetics mutated that drastically thru normal human breeding of offspring... especially if you look at the evolution of man and that taking place over thousands of years...
