BRAVO

[brands1]

what happened to him in 2004? did boevski test positive again?

[npacebg]

@brands1 I just checked out wiki and it said that in 2004 he tested positive and was suspended for 8 years. Maybe we'll see him in 2012, but that's really a lot of time.

[Shefketbey]

@npacebg before WWC 2003 he tested positive and it was for the second time so he was susnended for life

[freedomsoldier187]

@Shefketbey the thing is, be under no illusion the top 20 lifters are all on banned substances, the difference that seperates them is genetics and how long close they cut it before they get off the substance before a tested competition. Science is getting better these days, which is why you see less positives.

[SmallersCY]

@freedomsoldier187 and you know, some guys train harder, longer, smarter than others, which trumps all anabolics/timing etc.

[freedomsoldier187]

@SmallersCY Yeah bullshit, the top lifters are getting younger and younger, because science is getting better and better, they can put them on the gear younger and younger. You don't get 18yr old kids lifting 200+ c&j natural. You obviously been around 5 minutes, learn some of the politics that goes on with WADA and the IWF before you comment.
