A couple of weeks ago I wrote that I wasn’t taking either the players’ or owners’ side in the NFL labor battle. As a fan I feel that neither side really gives a damn about us. No matter what the players and owners say they will keep doing things that ultimately screw the fans. So both sides should stop insulting us.

But no matter what they do, we’ll be fine. We’ll live. I’ll be okay. Our “problems” with the NFL are really insignificant in the scheme of things. We’re addicted and will keep coming back. Neither higher ticket prices, PSLs, 4 hour games or any other indignity will keep the fans from their appointed game.

However, there are some people who won’t be fine, won’t be okay. As a matter of fact, they will get worse with every passing day. These people are the former NFL players upon who’s back the league was, and is, built.

NOTE TO THE PLAYERS: Drew Brees or any of the other players who are the face of the NFL labor movement should bite their tongue the next time they feel compelled to invoke their concern for the fans, and instead talk about how today’s players will not settle or agree on any plan that doesn’t include total medical care for those former players who need it.

NOTE TO THE OWNERS/COMMISSIONER: No matter what survey data says, fans don’t give a damn about players taking steroids or using human growth hormone. Stop wasting time with the nonsensical position that the league will insist on a test for HGH. Such a (valid) test doesn’t exist and the league will not catch one single player. And we all know you don’t want to catch anyone; people will not pay top dollar to see 220-pound linemen butt heads. Players use steroids and HGH, which is why guys continue to get bigger, faster, stronger. It’s not the training or diet or legit nutritional supplements. It’s the drugs. So rather than waste time on what guys today are taking – and what you need them to take – show concern for the guys who got hurt playing the game and need care.

Not the superstars, not the household names, but the guys who come into the league at their physical peak and leave four years later diminished in every way. This isn’t a recent phenomenon in the “bigger, faster, stronger” era; this has been going on ever since the league came in to being.

Rather than go through the whole story I will keep it simple. There are hundreds and hundreds of guys you have never heard of or, worse, you’ve forgotten about, who have been ignored by the league. These guys were injured in the line of duty and have been told by the owners that they are on their own, that they have to pay their own medical bills. These are the players people talk about when referring to the “average career” of three-and-a-half years. These are the guys behind the statistic.

Check out Dave Pear’s blog. He’s just one of the guys left to beg for what he deserves by the league he helped to make great, a guy who is trying to help others like him get what they are owed.

Too many of these athletes post NFL-careers are spent as professional patients, collecting Social Security disability checks. Here’s another case where the fans, and non-fans alike, wind up paying the bills that should be paid for by the league. It’s bad enough taxpayers get ripped-off when we pay for stadiums, but the real disgrace is that the league hasn’t even been decent to the guys who gave their bodies in the course of their service.

While the owners and the players are fighting over billions of dollars there are former NFL players begging for table scraps in the form of medical care. Keep that in mind the next time you hear a player, owner or empty-suit commissioner tell you how much they care about us.

Care about us?

They don’t even care about their own, so how can they possibly care about us?

So from now on I will be rooting that these forgotten players get taken care of. I will hope against hope that the players’ union will look out for their brothers, and one way or another make sure that guys who really did “leave it all out there” don’t get left out there.

The Ramble is back and chock full of pithy nonsense. Some may think this is nothing but sucking up to the search engines by picking hot topics – which is really what makes the web go ’round – and “some” would be correct. But it’s also fun to give some subjects a quick run through.

Jose Guillen and HGH. On a night where the San Francisco Giants opened up a two games to none lead over the Texas Rangers in the World Series, there are reports that Giant Jose Guillen is linked to a federal investigation for receiving shipments of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). According to the story, Guillen’s wife allegedly received shipments of HGH that were delivered to the Bay Area. Guillen was left off of the Giants’ post-season roster due to a neck injury, but this story in the New York Times alleges that Major League Baseball told the Giants to leave the outfielder off the roster. Wow. How long before we hear a variation of this line of reasoning used in Guillen’s defense, “You know, he isn’t one of these big muscled guys. I don’t think he looks like a guy who would use HGH.” This will be a fun story to follow as it develops.

Brock Lesnar versus Cain Velasquez. Don’t read anything into an item featuring Lesnar coming immediately after a story dealing with HGH. The order of these stories can be chalked up to the vagaries of editing. Really. I mean, who would ever think Mixed Martial Arts fighters would use steroids or any kind of anabolic agent? Lesnar is a really big guy, isn’t he? Cain Velasquez is also a pretty big guy, but looks small when he stands next to Lesnar. Lesnar got knocked out by Velasquez in less than four-and-a-half minutes last weekend in one of those Mixed Martial Arts fights for some kind of championship. I love when the little guy knocks the big guy silly, don’t you?

Carmelo Anthony. Who really gives a damn about Anthony’s contract situation or desire to leave Denver? Of all the spoiled brat professional athletes out there, the basketball players may be the worst. Compare this brat to Shaq who last week decided to show up at Harvard Square and pose with fans. Don’t you feel badly for these young guys who have to play basketball for a living for millions of dollars? This guy was a one-and-done at Syracuse University and wouldn’t know a commitment from a commode. I’ll be at the edge of my seat following the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes. Won’t you?

The NBA is in Trouble. Revenues are down. Ratings are down. 95% of the regular season games are meaningless and the first two-and-a-half to three quarters of these games are meaningless, as well. Every 15-point third quarter difference turns into a three-point nail-biter as the game winds down to the final buzzer. Doesn’t this strike anyone as odd? Too many of the players are totally unappealing from both appearances and personalities and the games are really a chore to watch. If the big boys like the NFL, Major League Baseball and NASCAR are feeling the pain of the Obama Economy, you can be sure the NBA is feeling it worse. They have only themselves to blame.

The NHL. Apparently, something called the National Hockey League has begun play for the 2010-2011 season. From what I’ve been able to discern, the season lasts almost 10 months and doesn’t end until about the summer. The league schedule is 80 games and at the end of the season four or five teams do not make the play-offs. I’m shocked to learn that from where I live there are four teams within a 2-hour drive. Crazy. What’s next, I’ll find out about a professional soccer league?

The Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones had big plans for the 2010 Cowboys. He build a gazillion dollar stadium, got the chance to host the Super Bowl this year and planned on his team playing in it. However, there were a few problems with Jerry’s plan. Wade Phillips, Tony Romo, the defense, the offensive coordinator, etc. Jerry is like Lex Luthor and Phillips is his Otis. The Cowboy’s record is 1-5. I like how that rolls off the tongue. The Cowboys’ record is 1-5.

Brian Cushing, the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year, has been suspended for failing a drug test, allegedly testing positive for hCG. hCG is human Chorionic Gonadotrophin and is commonly used by drug cheats when they are coming off a steroid cycle because it helps to stimulate the body’s natural testosterone production.  A drug cheat needs to stimulate their testosterone production because using exogenous testosterone (external to the organism) shuts down the natural production of this hormone.

But all of this is a distraction from the real issue.  The real issue is that people have to stop being surprised, become more skeptical and stop being gullible.  Stop being surprised when athletes fail steroid tests.  Be skeptical when a 165-pound high school kid turns into a 220-pound high school senior, 250-pound college senior and a pro athlete who adds muscle well past the time when physical maturity ends.  Don’t be gullible to think that there are some secrets to training and nutrition that continue to be “discovered” and that are responsible for creating the physical specimens that grace the fields of competitive sports.

There are no real training, nutritional and supplement secrets.  Performance enhancing drug use is the secret. The training hasn’t changed appreciably over the past 50 years, and while diet and supplementation has improved from what it was a half century ago, nothing has really changed in the past 20­­­­-years to explain the massive growth of our athletes.  So don’t believe the nonsense that elite athletes and trainers know things nobody else knows.

Nothing, that is, except steroid and human growth hormone use.  The other drugs these athletes get popped for are part of the overall drug regimen they use.  There aren’t just two, or three or ten drugs used by the drug cheats.  Human growth hormone was being used over 20-years ago, well before 99.99% of the population had even heard of it.  So it stands to reason that in the year 2010 athletes have moved on and are using the next generation of substances, substances that 99.99% of the population hasn’t heard of yet.

So Brian Cushing failed a drug test and got caught cheating.  Big deal, get used to it.

Here is a list of reasons as to why HGH – right now – is the ideal drug for athletes.  With the latest edition of the steroids in sport scandal that involves professional athletes from Major League Baseball, as well as other sports, people need to understand why these supplements are desirable to pro athletes.

And you won’t get this kind of info if you depend on the mainstream media and sports news outlets…

Body builders have enjoyed the benefits of human growth hormone, used in conjunction with a variety of other anabolic agents, for over 20 years but only in recent years have legit athletes started to catch on to this “better” kind of performance enhancing drugs.

1)       Human growth hormone provides a potent anabolic effect; it builds muscle.  Without turning this into a biochem lesson – especially since that’s way over my head – suffice to say that HGH increases the body’s ability to synthesize protein, and that this allows for muscle tissue to be built.  Human growth hormone use produces the holy grail of all anabolic benefits, hyperplasia.  Hyperplasia is the permanent increase in the amount of muscle cells.  Over the years there have been many steroids that were alleged to result in creating new muscle cells, but HGH is the substance that actually delivers this incredible benefit. HGH also increases the size of existing muscle cells.

So with HGH you have a situation where the size of existing muscle cells are increased AND a permanent creation of new muscle cells.  So a person could go on a cycle of human growth hormone therapy, which would create new muscle cells that remain after HGH therapy stops.  The longer the person remains on this regimen the more new muscle cells will be produced.  This person would then have more muscle than he did before the therapy and reap all of the performance benefits that come with increased muscle even after the end of therapy.

Additionally, human growth hormone has a positive strengthening affect on connective tissues such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage and at an accelerated rate. Old injuries will heal and these tissues will be strengthened which can potentially minimize future injuries as well.  There is no doubt that human growth hormone therapy is being used in conjunction with the surgery and rehab of professional athletes, which has had the effect of getting athletes back on the field quicker than ever. These connective tissue benefits make HGH much more attractive than the use of old school steroids, as steroids only positively affect muscle tissue, while having a negative effect on connective tissue.

2)      HGH provides metabolic benefits such as helping the body burn more fat than usual, and serves as a protein-sparing agent as well.   HGH administration triggers the release of fatty acids from fat stores and the body winds up burning more fat than carbohydrates to meet energy requirements.  This is why athletes on human growth hormone can have extremely low levels of body fat while maintaining extremely high levels of muscle mass.

Without drugs, there is a kind of equilibrium between body fat and muscle mass.  If body fat is too low a person’s muscle mass will decrease as well.  HGH also has an anti-catabolic effect (protein sparing), which means that muscle protein isn’t broken down during periods of intense exercise or in the case of calorie restriction.  This anti-catabolic effect means that athletes can recovery quicker from competition and training.

3)      HGH is legal and can be acquired and administered by a physician, and as a result, the intelligent athlete can use medical privacy regulations to avoid the spotlight. The dose at which HGH is effective is small, which minimizes risk and – in most cases – allows the physician to avoid breaking any laws or breaching any ethical standards.

Additionally, due to the stresses of professional sports there is a very good chance that most – if not all athletes – would test for low hormonal levels during their season.  This means HGH can be administered in order to normalize an athlete’s levels.  This kind of therapeutic dose can provide enormous benefits to an athlete during their season. This is an important distinction to make.  If an athlete does test for low HGH levels – which most would or could – this is a case of using HGH as it is intended and not abusing it.

There are doctors all across the country that are openly practicing this kind of medicine.  One could argue that these doctors are incorrect in their uses of HGH, but this argument doesn’t seem to hold any more weight than the counter argument that there are no appropriate “off-label” uses of HGH. These are the major reasons as to why HGH is so popular among athletes.

There are other reasons as well, but this is enough for now.  And it is worth noting that testosterone when used in similarly appropriate doses, in conjunction with HGH is an extremely potent supplement cocktail from which all athletes would benefit greatly.

Remember, this isn’t an effort to rationalize or justify the use of HGH and testosterone.  I am simply recognizing and pointing out reasons why athletes – or anybody who works out for that matter – would find these substances so desirable.   What I will say is that when you understand what these drugs can do for athletes, and understand the nature of risks involved with playing professional sports – especially football – the case can be made that some supplementation may be appropriate and even necessary.

Comments made by Mark McGwire’s bodybuilding idiot of a brother illustrate A) what a joke bodybuilding is and B) why bodybuilders should NEVER be allowed anywhere near real athletes.

So Mark McGwire’s loose-cannon brother has come out with a book, and in it he details his big brother’s steroid and Human Growth Hormone (HGH) taking regimen.  Does anyone really care what this little man has to say about his disgraced brother? As a matter of fact, who really could be interested in what he might have to say about anything, what it’s like to be the talentless brother?  Is there that much interest in bottom feeders these days?

Note: Someone should ask Jay if he helped his NFL quarterback of a brother Dan McGwire get an edge, as well.

Jay McGwire’s comments really speak volumes about how little bodybuilders know and why they should be ignored when they talk about athletic performance.  Here’s a sample of idiocy from Little Jay, “Oh, his strength. His leg strength was awesome. I talked about what he is doing on the leg press — over 600 pounds for 20 reps. That is pretty good for a baseball player. And that is the key in baseball, I think. … Mark didn’t really have big legs until after that. He couldn’t do some other serious leg workouts because of his lower back issues, so we had to be careful with that.”

Hey Jay, did you stop and think the leg press machine might be responsible for your brother’s back problems?  What did you do to try to strengthen the lower back, huh? Also, as a guy who supposedly spent a lot of time in the gym, you should know that 600-pounds on the leg press is common-place, unless you’ve spent your time in Curves’ gyms.  And come on, what functional purpose does the leg press serve for a baseball player, not to mention for a guy who is approaching the end of his career? A lot of people can leg press 600-pounds for 20 repetitions, I have seen it countless times and it is completely unimpressive.  It also proves nothing and is indicative/predictive of nothing.

More nonsense. “And obviously his arm strength, getting those hands through the [hitting] zone. Think about it, it is pretty remarkable. He is gaining 30 pounds over three years, and that is the right way to do it because you go slow and the body reacts slow in the ways of getting it more flexible. So Mark was more flexible 30 pounds heavier. Now think about that torque that he could have. That is why the ball was going out of stadiums.”

WTF? This is gibberish. It would take thousands and thousands of words to try to decipher this garbage. It’s classic bodybuilding, throw some jargon around, figure you’ll impress/intimidate people who supposedly don’t know as much, and Voila, you sound like an expert.  He actually sounds like a moron.

At 170-180 pounds Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron were hitting home runs, why couldn’t Mark McGwire hit them at 225-pounds?  Oh, and the Cardinals’ new hitting instructor had more strike outs than hits during his years as an active player in St. Louis.

Then Jay McGwire spoke about his brother’s drug cycles.  More Neanderthal musings.  Just like Greg Anderson, the alleged personal trainer who ruined Barry Bonds’ body with steroids and unsound training, Jay McGwire dosed his brother up with massive amounts of drugs.  Again, bodybuilders who don’t do anything that can be considered even remotely athletic just need to add muscle, and ingest tons of drugs.  Baseball players and real athletes don’t need to pack on muscle at any cost, especially at the cost Jay McGwire exacted on his brother’s body.

No less of an expert than BALCO Labs’ Victor Conte says, “The first thing you are going to see is size. You are using Dbol (Dianabol) and this stuff at this dosage, you’re going to look like Hercules, if he is doing the weight training. At 12 weeks and those dosages, this is not baby food.”  By the way, you can train like Olive Oil and you’ll look like Popeye if you dose up like Mark McGwire did.

The final insult comes in the form of this statement by Jay McGwire, “Jay McGwire repeatedly stressed that any changes weren’t just from the drugs, but that his brother trained ridiculously hard, often six days a week. And the combination paid off.” This is just bullshit.  The drugs are responsible for allowing someone to train “ridiculously hard, six days a week.” Don’t buy this nonsense. And don’t but the malarkey that teammates and team personnel didn’t know what was going on.

Mark McGwire cheated by taking performance-enhancing drugs because he wanted to break home run hitting records and his brother was right there with him every step of the way.

As the New York Times reports that Dr. Anthony Galea, a physician who has treated Tiger Woods, is being investigated for providing Performance Enhancing Drugs to athletes, debate is being waged on sports talk shows across the radio dial; did the revealed-to-be-a-horn dog golfing great use steroids or human growth hormone and if he did, how much, if any, did these drugs help?

As usual, when discussing athletes and PED use, logic and facts take a back seat to emotions, incorrect and inconsistent assertions, and misinformation about what these drugs can and cannot do.

Arguments are being forwarded in this debate that were used when baseball players got caught using steroids and HGH.  Steroids don’t make the athlete, technique does; bulk doesn’t help these athletes; young athletes don’t really get any benefits from the recovery benefits offered by PEDs; the athletes were great when they were teenagers and young men, so why would they need to take PEDs to get any better, and the list goes on.

Different sports and different athletes, but the same bad info and faulty logic.

For the sake of discussion, let’s accept the” big picture” assertion made by some folks that athletic performance in golf is (somehow) different than all other athletic endeavors, and therefore, steroid use cannot improve the swing and play of a golfer.

So what?

Tiger has displayed such incredibly bad judgment in the way he has handled his personal life it’s entirely reasonable that he would use the same faulty decision making process regarding the use of PEDs.  Knowing what we know about this mess, Tiger’s reasoning skills are obviously suspect.

What we know about athletes who use PEDs, their motivation is that they believe taking the drugs will help.  It is also clear that many athletes are willing to go to extreme measures to be successful and to gain an edge over the competition.  In this regard, could Tiger be that different from Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Rodney Harrison or any other uber-competitive, successful athlete?

The nonsense about increased muscle mass – aka “bulk”- and steroid/HGH use comes from what people think they know what these drugs can do as a result of stories about body builders and other meat heads.  Unless the definition and physics of “athleticism” and “ability to perform more work” has changed, increased muscle mass is never a bad thing; a relatively small increase in muscle mass can reap large performance benefits.

A golfer, baseball player, tennis player, swimmer or any other athlete will benefit from increased muscle mass and athletes who use PEDs don’t have to look like this, they look like this.

By the way, Tiger is known to have hit the weighs hard and has added muscle to his body over the past several years, so it’s clear that Tiger thinks adding muscle to his frame will help his game.

Again, for the sake of argument if we accept the line of reasoning that adding muscle is detrimental to a golfer’s performance to explain why Tiger Woods would not use PEDs, how can this “no improvement” be measured?  Whether from weight lifting and PED use, or weight lifting alone, if he wasn’t as muscular would he have won more tournaments?  First, there’s no way to know this and second it is not logical to say that Woods wouldn’t use PEDs simply because he didn’t want to add muscle mass.

In the real world we can’t ignore the facts for the sake of argument and the unshakeable reality is that additional muscle is beneficial to any athlete, athletes are aware of this, and as a result follow many strategies – ethical and unethical, legal and illegal – to improve their performance.  However, while increased muscle mass can’t be considered to be a detriment, there is no doubt that a golfer – or any athlete – can decrease performance and increase their risk of injury by following an improper weight lifting regimen.

There is no evidence that Tiger Woods has taken steroids, human growth hormones or any other banned PEDs.  However, absent any proof, hackneyed and ignorant arguments cannot be used to explain why he wouldn’t.

Bodybuilding has been responsible for creating an almost endless list of ridiculous fitness and nutritional myths, and an exercise called Zottman curls serves as a great example of this. Some may consider Zottman curls to be a “bodybuilding secret,” when in reality it’s just bodybuilding nonsense.

Thanks to guys who used prodigious amounts of anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, insulin and a variety of other pharmaceuticals, the bodybuilding philosophy became synonymous with health and fitness. The bodybuilding secret is that drugs are responsible for the impressive physiques that dominate bodybuilding.  For decades this ineffective and inefficient method of training has served as the basis for the diet and exercise programs for gym rats and competitive athletes alike.

The flawed premise was (and for some still “is”) that a 225-pound guy with 3-percent body fat knew what he was doing and everyone should follow his program simply because he looked good.  Bodybuilding, or “reductionist” training, breaks the body down into parts and is all about appearance over performance.

Zottman curls are a great example of how obsession with appearance combined with a faulty philosophy spawns an exercise that becomes known as a “bodybuilding secret.”

Zottman curls are performed with dumbbells.

• The dumbbells are curled to the shoulders
• At the top position dumbbells are rotated outward so palms are facing forward
• Dumbbells are lowered to starting position and returned to original position

Google “Zottman curls” and you’ll find the usual nonsense that this exercise will give your arms “new age gains,” will “build bigger biceps,” and the classic “works the biceps and the forearms.”  There’s even a demonstration of seated Zottman curls that are a lazy man’s bodybuilding secret.

The “benefit” that Zottman curls work forearms is laughable because any exercise done holding any kind of weight works forearms. Also, bodybuilders use wrist straps for pulling exercises, and these straps actually remove the forearms from the equation. But that’s the nonsense behind all of the bodybuilding secrets.

Arm strength, and the concomitant size of biceps and triceps, is developed by performing heavy pulling and pushing exercises and not by doing Zottman curls.  Muscular development occurs as a result of lifting (and holding) heavy weights without the aid of wrist wraps or straps.  The bodybuilding secrets that deal with exercises for biceps and triceps are a waste of time and effort.

As news about Manny Ramirez’s steroid use dribbles out more questions need to be asked.

As of Friday night, May 15, 2009 here’s where we stand with Manny Ramirez’s steroid suspension story.

• Manny’s HCG use was a distraction from the real issue that Manny had synthetic testosterone in his system
• HCG use does not produce synthetic testosterone
• HCG was not present in Ramirez’s failed drug test
• Manny’s testosterone/epitestosterone ratio was between 4:1 and 10:1 (99.999% of humans have a 1:1 ratio)
• Manny’s first attempted defense of DHEA use was laughable, farcical, ham-handed, etc.
• There are now questions about the mysterious Florida doctor who Manny alleged prescribed HCG, the female fertility drug

The media has done a pretty good job covering the story thus far, and many analysts have come down hard on the steroid using Los Angeles Dodger slugger.  However, there are plenty of issues that need to be brought up and considered, and questions that need to be asked.

The most obvious issue is that given what Manny has pretty much ‘fessed up to or been caught “doing” – HCG use, synthetic testosterone use, DHEA use, T/E ratio between 4:1 and 10:1 – we can posit that Manny is either a heavy user of steroids, a long time user of steroids or both.  This stack is so old school that you can wonder if it has been the preferred cocktail of choice of Manny for quite a long time.

In this day and age every meathead bodybuilder wanna-be with access to a computer and an Internet connection knows that there are better, undetectable ways to build a better body so it strains credulity to make the case that Manny got caught the first time he used a drug(s) that could be detected by the most primitive testing protocols.  Guys who experience success with a cycle over time tend to stay with what they know best and what works for them.

HCG is used by steroid users to jumpstart their testosterone production because their natural production shuts down.  Long-term, heavy use of steroids can result in endocrine system problems and sexual dysfunction.

Just as in the ARod case, you have to wonder if Manny Ramirez also used human growth hormone (HGH).  Since drug screening cannot detect HGH use there’s no way to know if Ramirez used but, given what we know about baseball players, the question still needs to be asked.  It hasn’t been.

As the story develops more details will emerge and the big break could be the identity of Manny Ramirez’s Florida doctor.  The bottom line is that the Manny Ramirez story is yet another indication that elite athletes use drugs to produce remarkable results.

So, Manny Ramirez allegedly tests positive for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). What a meathead. I’d love to know who his personal trainer is.

This represents sports doping at its worst. I’ve never used, never seen these drugs, but for God’s sake if someone asked me what to do I’d know better. For all of the money, and the privilege opportunity to work with the best and brightest, Manny has obviously worked with the worst and dumbest.

Just a little lowdown on the female hormone that Manny said a doctor gave him for his personal health issue. One word, “crap.” But since one word answers like “crap” make for short careers as successful bloggers, I’ll give you a little more grist.

While HCG influences ovulation in women, it also produces androgens such as testosterone, that nice hormone that makes big strong muscles and helps with recovery.  It also will give a guy erections that are known as “Purple Steel.” Sorry about that, but it’s the truth.

HCG injections – not pills, injections – can increase testosterone levels by as much as 300% over normal. So while HCG is used to help guys on heavy steroids cycles kick start their natural testosterone production, used alone it can raise ”test” levels enough to make a huge difference for an otherwise healthy competitive athlete.

By the way, “natural” bodybuilders use this scam to claim that they are natural.  Since they aren’t injecting testosterone to increase their levels, they can say they are natural because the increase in testosterone levels is not from a direct, external injection of testosterone, but from a naturally occurring substance that stimulates testosterone production.  You can never believe bodybuilders.

I’ll be on XM channel142, Fox Sports Radio, Friday morning May 8 at around 8:30AM on the Steve Czaban Show, Fox’s national morning sports talk show. The show repeats and the segment will be replayed at around 2:30PM. Check in with the show if you can.
