MYOSTATIN IS OLD NEWS

[Master Blaster]

From the article:

Normal mice given the drug show a 30 to 60 percent increase in muscle mass, and mice with a version of muscular dystrophy show increased grip strength, a standard measure of rodent strength. Preliminary results from primate studies show that the animals on the drug bulk up at similar rates to those seen in rodents. "Before I became involved with Acceleron, if someone had told me you could increase muscle mass by up to 60 percent in a month, I never would have believed it," says CEO John Knopf.

I wouldn't believe a word Flex says, even if his tongue was notarized, everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie, he is a professional bull shitter.

Flex actually didn't state that. It was Victor Conte. There is a letter from Balco labs, stating that after testing it was found that Flex was Myo deficit. It's floating around somewhere. But the question should be, how did Flex get mixed up with Balco labs, and why Flex?

Isn't the test to determine that really expensive?  I mean you basically map a person's genetic profile.  So why would BALCO have paid for that test?  If it was to pimp some bullshit supp then I think it would have been counter productive.  Like saying no matter what you take, you will never look like this because Kenny is a one in 2 billion myostatin deficient.
