The powerlifter from Armenia, the guy who just failed his third straight attempt at snatching 441 pounds. Yeah, he also had a super heavy weight bronze medal taken away from him for using some 'roid or another.
And guess what? He's testing clean but, here's the catch, he's no longer as strong as he used to be when he was juicing.
People seem surprised when previous cheaters are made to play fair (or fairer) and they don't do as well. Duh! If they could do that well without the drugs then why would they be using them?
Of course they're not going to be as strong without the juice. Only nobody's talking about it. They talk around it but never actually go at it straight on.
One other nice thing about the Olympics and all the scandals for doping and cheating, its giving guys like Barry Bonds a little much needed break from the media scrutiny.
Then again, seeing an enormous Bulgarian go after 457 pounds is pretty damned cool. Especially when he rips it too.
I need more power rods on the Bowflex.
