Worn Deep Dish type plates always look great in shots like that.
I think lyle A really upped the dose after he did poorly in a strongest man in the nfl contest. I think Mike Webster might have won it.
It was Mike Webster. They say the period after that contest, and the late 80's comeback were the 2 times he really upped the dose. A number of old timers from Gold's swore he was the first guy they saw with a big, consistent real growth hormone stash in the late 80's.
Rob Huizenga, former team physician for the Los Angeles Raiders describing cleaning out Lyle Alzado's stash with his wife -
"She brought in an entire shopping bag chock full of every conceivable bulking concoction. There were thousands of dollars worth of Genentech growth hormone vials, all interestingly enough marked "No Sale," meaning they were samples off some pediatric endocrinologist's shelf, or else stolen from an ongoing drug trial.
There were five types of oral anabolic steroids and sixteen types of injectable steroids, some of them veterinary with pictures of horses on the boxes. The labels were from West Germany, East Germany, France, Mexico, Italy, and the U.S.A. There was extract from pregnant women's urine that prevented the testicles from shrinking. There was an estrogen hormone blocker, tamoxifen, prescribed typically for women who have had breast cancer to help prevent a recurrence, but used by weight lifters to try to prevent "bitch tits"—the painful swellings and breast enlargement resulting from partial conversion of steroids into estrogen.
There was thyroid medicine. There was pain medicine. There was an asthma medicine from Canada, rumored to increase strength. There were boxes of syringes. There were pads of papers with various "stacking" schemes—schemes for taking handfuls of different steroids simultaneously, in hopes of more muscle and fewer side effects.
About half the drugs had come from the refrigerator; the rest had been hidden under the kitchen sink, in the bathroom, under the bed, and behind Lyle's trophies. Some small-town pharmacies don't have this selection of drugs.".
