Classic. Luckily the Patriots haven't had any injuries to anyone, right? Idiot. Yea, we feel real bad that your juiced up anabolic addict LB got suspended. Thats a great excuse.
lived in maine for a few years and love the passion new englanders bring for the sox and pats. they have an amazing fan base. here is where my opinion on merriman differs from yours.
Read the following and ask yourself why would Merriman risk his reputation and career on such a mild enhancement and one that's hard to maintain?? Doesn't make sense. Anyway lets see what happens in the off season with regards to a lawsuit. Until then, innocent 'til proven guilty.
Urine analysis as a method of detecting nandrolone abuse has recently become somewhat controversial, following studies by the University of Aberdeen showing that the metabolite product can also show up in urine in quantities above the upper limit from a combination of high-protein diets utilising the legal nutritional supplement creatine and hard cardiovascular exercise. The reason for this unexpected result has not been determined. Another possible reason for a false positive result is the consumption of beef from cattle treated with steroids including nandrolone (used in overturning the verdict against the bobsleigh racer, Lenny Paul). Heavy consumption of the essential amino acid lysine (as indicated in the treatment of cold sores) has also shown false positives in some and was cited by American Shotputter C.J. Hunter as the reason for his positive test. As a result of the numerous overturned verdicts, the testing procedure was reviewed by UK Sport
For those of you looking to use nandrolone as your only steroid, be aware that the gains on nandrolone are not only mild, but also quite hard to maintain. Nandrolone, in the first place due to its combined estrogenic/progestagenic properties, is quite suppressive of the natural testosterone production. Since it actively participates at three receptors its very quick and merciless when it comes to giving negative feedback to the release of gonadotropin releasing hormone from the hypothalamus. But then one also has to take into account its affinity for esterases, making it stay active in the body significantly longer than most hormones. Because that means upon cessation of nandrolone-use you'll still be under quite suppressive conditions, there simply isn't enough intrinsic anabolism available to support the mass you gained, resulting in a rather quick and inglorious reduction of weight.
???or was it a shot in the rear end in an alley? anabolic no! i simply believe that merriman was not intentionally shooting roids but to each his own. he tested negative in august and has tested cleanly ever since. he also tested cleanly every test prior to his negative in august.
he also worked hard on his cardio this past offseason
