Did Alexander Karelin Use PEDS?

[Luolamies]

I'd say yes, i met the guy in a international wrestling tournament that i competed in when i was a teen and he is as big of a monster if there ever was one (he was in his prime) at the time.

BTW. Dude is all jokes and smiles. He also did some training with Russian and Scandinavian strongmen and he had no trouble keeping up.

Fedor would destroy him.

LOL @ "he used because he is from USSR" 

Every athlete on top of their sport use drugs. Every and each of them.




Today he is a politician. Has a seat in State Duma if I'm not mistaken 

That saying is because the USSR was notorious for juicing their Olympic athletes back in the day. Was everyone else? Maybe, maybe not, no one knows for sure. I dont know the story, but I remember it being a pretty big deal and its followed them forever.

John Romano does Karelin's chest workout.

You guys are a bunch of fucking morons.

Karelin - Greco

Gable - American folkstyle, then freestyle

Brock - American folkstyle

Gable is considered a great wrestler not because of his accomplishments in the Olympics but because of his accomplishments in collegiate wrestling (American folkstyle)

You're preaching to the choir, my friend. But good post, nontheless.

I specifically said, " Karein is my personal fav. " as in " My vote as the best OVERALL wrestler based on OVERALL skills and achievements. ". I only mentioned Gable because he's also a personal favorite of mine. Now, obviously, this post isn't really all that directed to you, HR. Your one of the smart ones. This post is directed to the retards in this thread trying to " own " me in some way or another. Sorry, guys, not talkin' out my ass about wrestling. I, like many here i'm sure, actually did it. ;-) And I stand by what I said. Gable belongs up there in the ranks irregardless of the wrestling style.


MELTDOWN.
