Funny question....I've never really thought about testing for drugs with all the times I've watched Sasuke until my brother brought it up. Could it be?  ? Conspiracy? Cover Up? ? xD |

How would everyone react if Nagano was found out to be using performance enhancing drugs, (I know he wouldn't but let's say he did) would you lose all respect for him?

Steroids don't have to make you huge, it depends how you train. I remember when I was about 9 some guy broke the word record for some kind of sprint at the Olympics, but then they tested him for steroids and he came back positive. He was very lean but super defined muscles, like a Jim Lee drawing! Would have been 1987 or so, I think it was probably Ben Johnson that I'm thinking of?  I'm sure someone has used stims and/or roids at Sasuke more than one person I'm sure. |

It would certainly take away from what he's done....but then steroids don't make to have insane balance. It would be kinda sad to find out something like that though. But him personally I kinda doubt it, he's too even tempered. |

Well david, sprinting is strength based. So while he wouldnt be huge, because all he did was run,run,run he would have FAR superior strength in his legs compared to all the other sprinters

Steroids have too many negative side effects. I for one would never take them. But hey, if someone wants to take all those risks more power to them. My gym coach took tons of steroids when he was in highschool and college sports, but he heavily regrets it. Oti: Borderline jerk, haha. I don't know why that's so funny. I am really shocked!  I do not like it when pro athletes dope but i understand these things happen in real life. i understand the reasons too, the pressure, the glory, the money, other pros are doing it...etc. BUT amateur sports, college & EVEN HIGH SCHOOL? WHOA! i don't know if i should say this is being "advanced" or "primitive". Sad state of things really. |

Sprinting is a power movement, which is composed of strength and speed. Since steroids encourage muscle growth (which results in increases in strength), a sprinter's legs would most likely be bigger, but not necessarily stronger, than those he is racing against who do not use steroids.
And remember: training to have a bigger muscle is not the same as training to have a stronger muscle.

There are many who believe that the Professional athletes compete more for money than victory and pride, but high-schoolers and college students not only pay their school to play that sport, but have personal victory and pride, as well as pride for their school, city and state. In my belief, it's even bigger among the college's than among pros. |

In my belief, it's even bigger among the college's than among pros. 1. pardon my ignorance as i have never been to the US so i am unfamiliar with the situation there 2. Maybe i am old-fashioned, outdated, conservative fool but still... i sincerely hope you are just stating the facts & NOT justifying it. 3. Pro athletes are ADULTS who are PAID. that makes this a career & personal choice in life. They know the risks & long term consequences & are to be responsible for their own actions. They know the dangers of being caught or even the dangers of NOT being caught. It is like an accountant who decides to forge numbers or a businessman who decides to cheat his customers by selling inferior quality goods to the customer's orders. 4. BUT US high-school kids are only around 16~18? Schools have the obligation to teach good values to these young minds. Of course the kids may not listen but still this is the right thing to do. 5. I assume the high-school kids who dope are doing it secretly without their coaches or others knowing ( i hate to be wrong on this ). They need to be guided back towards the right path. |

As for famas & TigerofHaughton & her sister, i feel sad to know of your condition. I hope all of you have improved health soon. I don't know of what else to say for fear of hurting you. You all probably don't want too much sympathy & pity. I will like to give you 3 more encouragement & reminders to please be careful. Tiger, i believe you are strong but still please remember to put your health & well-being as priority over sports or martial arts. Eyesight is too important to mess around with. It is different from a hurt shoulder or ankle. Same for you too, famas. Hell, i am sure glad that i just need to lose 5 kg / 10 pounds. LOL!  |

Thanks, Awee. I'm at a higher risk for retina problems because of the nearsightedness, but thus far I haven't had any problems. I hope it stays that way. Eventually I'd like to have LASIK surgery to correct my vision. That would correct the shape of my cornea and reduce the risk of retina problems. I have about two more years before I'm old enough for that, though, and even then I might not be a good candidate because of the severity of the nearsightedness. I do try to be careful in the dojo and not get hit in the head or face. Fortunately, I prefer grappling to sparring, and since we're not allowed to strike while we're grappling, there's much less chance of me getting hit in the head.
