Tennis pros & steroids

Have you heard about this? Apparently Wayne Odesnik, was found with several small containers of HGH, which is a performance enhancing drug (or human growth hormone.) This is extremely serious and could lead to him, being banned from the tour for 2 years.

Odesnik, is not the first person on tour to be found with performance enhancing drugs, several other players, especially clay courters, have been linked to this stuff.

This of course, brings up the question, "Are steroids and other performance enhancing drugs being used by other athletes, on the tour?" In my opinion, there's a definite possibility of it.
Just look at these pictures of Sam Stosur, Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams










Honestly, I am at a loss to explain, how they could have gotten this kind of muscle mass, naturally. To me, it doesn't look real. Nadal, is the one that disturbs me the most. Back during his early years on tour, he would fist pump, scream, and jump into the air, pretty much every time he won a point. He was also, extremely strong at a very early age, to the point where, yet again, I can't explain it. Could his celebrating after every point, have been some sort of an affect of roid rage? And if so, then does this partially explain why he has slimmed down and is more naturally athletic looking today? He's stopped using roids.

I don't know, but Nadal, Stosur, and Serena's physique's have always been a bit of a question mark to me. Even though, I'm a huge Nadal fan, I still don't understand how he was able to gain all of this muscle mass, when he was only 18 and then suddenly lose quite a bit of it in just a few months time.

Take a look at these pictures and you'll see what I mean




Just doesn't look right, does it?

It's so spurious to make claims of PED use based on pictures of muscles. It's such a ridiculous way to discuss this issue that you have lost all credibility. If you look at photos of tennis players, you'll notice pretty quickly that still shots of them while in the motion of swinging the ball shows muscle definition that is not obvious if you watch them in person, or see a photo of them not in motion.

That's true, however if you've been watching tennis over the last 5 years, you'll probably notice that Nadal does not look as ripped. He also, doesn't go crazy after every point, like he used to and if you compare those last two pictures that I posted, you'll notice that Nadal, is clenching his left fist in both of them but his muscles are clearly a bit smaller in the second and more recent one.

I can't say for sure if there's doping going on but it does look suspicious. At least to me.

People like "Anonymous march 2010" who defend OBVIOUS drug cheats like Serena Williams, Samantha Stosur, Nadal.... make me SICK!
People like them must be the players themselves, or coaches or part of Tennis, or paid trolls.

WTF is your point, "Anonymous", that the pics were taken while their muscles were flexed?! Go flex in the mirror and see if your muscles are that large. I don't think so.. unless you are using PEDs.

Those 'still shots' of them hitting the ball showing their muscles is what it's all about! That shows their UNNATURALLY-sized muscles flexed!
When bodybuilders "compete" against each other, they FLEX THEIR MUSCLES. Most of the pictures are taken when they FLEX THEIR MUSCLES.

And remember.. they are not bodybuilders they are TENNIS players, yet still look like BBers! Imagine how muscular Stosur would look with a fake tan, oiled up in a little bikini, pumped up, and doing mandatory bodybuilding poses on stage like a bodybuilder. She's as big as those steroid/hgh abusing fitness sl*ts! And just so it's clear, they lift heavy weights. They don't play tennis.

I have been lifting weights trying to get as muscular as possible for over 10 years, am a MAN in his prime, have followed/researched bodybuilding for many years, have even used prohormones (which are legal anabolic steroids more or less) have a great body which is at its natural (muscle) limits, ... and Samantha Stosur (a FEMALE TENNIS PLAYER!) is more muscular than I am!
A FEMALE! Someone who is suppose to produce 10-15x less testosterone than me! A FEMALE who was born without testicles is more muscular than I am! A FEMALE who was chubby and soft looking not too long ago then suddenly came back looking like a bodybuilder after disappearing for a while because of Lyme disease.

ALL MUSCULAR athletes use drugs! ALL of them! You CANNOT get as muscular as Nadal, Stosur, Usain Bolt, Jeter... without DRUGS! Our (natural) bodies don't allow it! No excess hormones = no excess muscle!!

Nadal, Stosur and Serena ARE drug cheats. I'm not 90% sure, I'm 100% sure!

The number of drugs cheats on the womens and mens tennis tours is going to shock and disgust tennis fans when finally tennis does a baseball or a cycling and décides to put it's house in order. All those 5 1/2 hour finals etc etc ,the golden age as the commentators call it, will be but a page in history when many got away with doping because it was just an unstoppable jugerrnaut. Remember, the once great Lance Armstrong, the most tested cyclist in history ,and didn't fail a test either, who is paying for everyone in professional cycling,well it's the same in tennis, there just hasn't been a sacrifice just yet
