RE: PED-Performance enchancing drugs
You know that is GREAT point. One thing I remember that has stuck with me in regards to PED's is BJ Penn. He is a MMA fighter I LOVE. He is clean and fights fighters WAY BIGGER than him. But unfortunately he ha gotten into fights with guys HIGHLY suspect able for using PED's.
But he said something in an interview that has always stuck with me. Since he is clean...every time he trains for a fight and pushes his body...the next morning he can BARELY get out of bed. Dudes on PED's recover much faster thus having an advantage. Plus he mentioned in MMA you are out there to Kill or be Killed and it's not right if someone CHEATED to have an advantage to KILL you.
Exactly:D Once I was talking with my friend. We've been together in martial arts for 2 decades. And as I remember he was using PED for more than 10 years.
Few years ago he flew to Florida(we are from Europe) to pass a belt test. After a month there his body ran out of supplements he was taking and in a phone call he was explaining me how tired he is, sour, everything hurted him,....
All I could answer him was.....my dear friend this is NORMAL....we all live like this. When you train hard, it hurts...and it takes days to recover:)
