DICK Pound can f*ck off

Post by pk500 »

Remember DICK Pound, the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency, making the claim last year that one-third of the NHL players were using performance-enhancing drugs?

Well, DICK, the NHL's doping tests came back, and NOT ONE PLAYER out of 1,406 tested showed any traces of doping.

So, a big, fat F*CK YOU to Dick Pound.

Take care,
PK

Totally off-base here PK500.

Theodore and Berard both failed drug tests in international competition but did not fail them in the NHL testing. How is that?

As an auditor, my professional skepticism would cause me to question any test of that nature that didn't produce some hits. Did MLB run this test? :D

I spent 14 years as an auditor of NGO's, and now work for one.

I am therefore in a position to say that an auditor will find exactly what I allow him/her to find - a small error or two keeps them happy, and deflects them away from the surpluses I am salting away for a rainy day
:D

Bear in mind that an NGO is a non-govt organisation, and that my salted reserves will be used to provide more services for our students, rather than my bank account :)

Same thing here then ?

Probably the same way Bonds never has tested positive.

Seriously, Theodore's banned substance was Propecia, an anti-baldness drug, for Christ's sake! Berard was on steroids.

But it is peculiar that Berard was nailed in the international tests but not in the NHL tests. I wonder how far apart the two tests were administered.

Still, I think Dick Pound's claim is baseless and VERY exaggerated.

Not that peculiar. I'm sure the NHL does the same as baseball and uses a urine test. These urine tests can't detect better masking agents, HGH or other higher-end steroids. Pretty weak test IMO.

International probably uses a blood test which is MUCH harder to pass.

Yes, He used Propecia..Propecia is a masking agent for steriods.

Bonds never took Steriods and has never been talked about with roids. They talk about him taking HGH!!!

Come on PK....are you really that nieve? Of course there are guys in the NHL on performance enhancers. Anytime you get paid for performance on an atheltic field, court, pitch, etc. there will be people trying to get ahead by any means neccesary. Thinking that the NHL guys AREN'T is pretty ridiculous no matter what they "find" in all of the tests.

What was "The Clear," then? An anabolic steroid.

Nieve? No. Naive? Maybe.

I'm sure there are guys who are on something in the NHL. But not the one-third that Dick Pound claims. And that's my point.

Having been in a sport in which steroid use was not only rampant, but encouraged in the late '70's and early '80's, I can say that I do not have definitive PROOF as in a failed drug test for Bonds*, but there is NO WAY he not only didn't take them, but was also not knowing what he was taking. Pure BS.

In 1980 I saw a discus thrower in January of that year who was at one time the World Record holder. He weighed all of 190 lbs on a 6'5" frame. By April, this same individual was 275 lbs and looking like Mr. Olympia. You do NOT accomplish this by just "eating your Wheaties". Try competing against that.....trust me, I am fully aware of most apects of steroid use and I can assure you that Bonds* not only took them, but knew what he was doing from day one.

Unfreakingreal...does MLB know ANYTHING about steroids? Obviously not as the offseason is when many players have an opportunity to get stronger without the rigors of every-day play. MLB needs to wake up and start year-round testing. Everywhere you care to look, there are loopholes galore in their "steroid policy".....

Leebo's remark referred to the NHL not testing during the offseason.

That is what I get for not reading the article....however, what I stated still applies to Hockey, Baseball or ANY sport.

There is probably more steriod abuse in the NFL than any other league or sport. Probably 60% to 75% of all NFL players use steriods but they are not detected due to masking agents. Hydrogen peroxide is very effective masking steroids.
