Here's the problem.

The idiot reporter who did all this so-called 'research' makes the claim that Arod's bench went from 100 lbs to 300 lbs in just 6 months.

She says that 'it's obvious' that steroids were used by him to help him make those gains.

But those of us with a fucking clue know that it didn't happen at all, with or without drugs.

In America, soccer is only played by twinks who aren't man enough to play footall.

In the rest of the world, soccer is only played by twinks who aren't man enough to play rugby.

Hope this heps.

Lets just say it were true, she is correct in saying that it would be obvious he was taking steriods. I have 15 year old thats 160lbs doing a legit 215 but it took longer than 6 months.

if Her estimations are correct, he was on. Look, he has already proven that his word does not mean shit. He is a liar and a cheat. Whole career, part of career...either way, paper tiger

It's funny the ones that claiming that they never took anything or took "something" years ago are the same ones that are injured more and more frequently.........ie; A-Rod, Cushing :-\

The jump in bench is stupid.  Nobody could increase their bench like that, juiced or not.

As for futbol, it's a tough sport.  I respect futbol and rugby players way more that football players these days.  Collegiate football players are okay in my book but I think the specialized nature of the NFL makes players one dimensional and not overly athletic.

It's funny how the media is spanking off to Arod's roid use.  Who gives a shit when he started/stopped.  He's part of a drug taking machine...MLB.

See here is the thing....soccer is popular throughout the world because it's mega cheap. All you need is a ball.  So every third world shithole thinks it's great.

Secondly, we have far better sports to follow in the States.  I can understand the love for soccer when your choice is either it, cricket or track and field. But c'mon...vs football, basketball, baseball, etc.... it's lame as fuck.

Simple really.

And as we Americans say, if the world has 3 billion people who like it....good, we don't need to watch it then.  ;D

The dude is 6'3" 228lbs and looks pretty big without a shirt on. I'm sure he can get a decent number of reps at 315. Hell i got 305 for one rep and i'm not nearly his size.

It says while he was in high school.  I don't think he weighed 228# in high school.

I said BS because not too many peoples bench goes from 100 to 300# in 6 months, and a high school baseball player on top of that.
