Just say it...


Steroid re-up?


Never taken one in his life, but that is funny how people think that about him. At 40, he still plays at an extremely high level. What some don't see is that he spends over a million on his health every year and is a billionaire so he can afford to do so. Father time is a little behind schedule with Lebron. Same goes for Tom Brady, spent a fortune on his health and diet and look at how that turned out?


We don't know if he is or if he isn't. Probably will never know for sure. Most likely he's not but it's possible. I have plenty of reasons to think that way about him, I don't think it's funny or outlandish at all. Same way a lot of athletes probably do it/have done it.

Brady and Bron are not the only athletes to spend millions on Nutrition + their body. Plenty have and do and still aren't able to pull off anything close to those 2. Those 2 are just the success stories.

Got some really winnable games coming up if we can get Hayes and Rui back...

OK. But also

Quote:
JJ Redick on Hayes/Hachimura/LeBron, possibly returning within the next week, whether it’s two days or 7: “They’re all very close to returning.”

https://x.com/lakersreporter/status/1900700902765568229?s=46&t=6-sxM4NpvzeWdNMn3aVCqg


and I didn't think it was worth posting but Chris Haynes posted that LeBron is going to watch his youngest play tonight in Sacto. So he must not be doing that badly

LeBron's does EPO, growth hormone and TRT thats what he does. Just to clear the air there.

There's plenty more athletes that do similar in the NBA currently but it won't ever be exposed or talked about. LeBron's not the only one. But it won't ever be exposed, and if it is ESPN will never talk about it. They bury enough stories about him as it is.

I don't know either way, but I'd like a little of this-here thing called evidence before I condemn the man.

It literally says there wasn't ANY EVIDENCE in that exact article?

Quote:
But because both had a relationship with James, their involvement in the investigation caused investigators to look at whether James might have been involved in any activity related to PEDs -- and they concluded that he was not: "There was never any indication that LeBron James did anything wrong," the lead DEA investigator said.


Quote:
"I can tell you that we looked into everything just because we knew this day would come ... She wasn't getting any supplements, anything like that. ... There was never any indication that LeBron James did anything wrong."


How about on a Lakers board we don't assume Bron with no actual legitimate proof actually did any of this. I understand other team's message boards ignorantly calling him out but it's really weird so many try to bring it up here, especially an article from a Year and a half ago which says he's innocent from the thorough investigation they ran.....

100%. It's crazy that Lakers fans are the ones bringing up this (bleep). People are so weird about Lebron, and because there's enough of a crackhead community online that will indulge and encourage the nonsense, it gets thrown around in the echo chamber and regurgitated as "facts" worth talking about. Get a life, it's really not that serious.

You can see it's NBA wide. I'm not blaming anyone for it, but when both Lebron and Curry (and lesser extent Butler and co) average higher stats than in their prime, you know everyone's on the juice.

And it won't ever be exposed because NBA viewership is in decline and these guys drive viewership and merch, and people like to watch superhuman performances not human performances. When they cut drugs out of cycling (or tried to) by introducing a biological passport monitoring your levels year round, it made the sport really really boring. Picture everyone just riding together in a big pack because nobody has the energy to attack levels of boring.

It's very suspicious that Lebron disappears every couple of weeks in March FOR SURE. That being said I have no doubt the NBA is as drugged as the NFL (Even QBs like Brady well into his 40s? Sure)

Not so crazy. And I'm sure there is already a few chompin at the bit for Luka stories.

I tend to think he is a genetic freak and doubt he would risk his health. but who knows.
He has to be one of the most disciplined players in the league to have lasted this long

I remember as a kid being envious of people who were well off financially. Then as I grew up I noticed how much work those well off people were consistently doing to increase their earnings.

Look at LeBron the child in high school.. his body composition never looked like it needed drugs .. has he been on them since high school?

Back in the play-in once again.

Makes sense. Not only the schedule eases up, but his agent already said he was worried about an AD/Dallas situation where he comes back a bit early and aggravates it.

If we play defense with Hayes/DFS/Goodwin around Luka/Reaves (and eventually Rui is back too) we'll be able to win at least .500 of the remaining games without Bron. The WORST part is over.

I think we'll hit 52 wins this year. Lebron likely comes back with 3 weeks left.

Not sure what “boring” cycling you are referring to? The pro cycling racing season is as entertaining as ever. And I doubt the passport stopped performance enhancing to any degree. It just got more sophisticated in how it was used, how it was masked and new advancements that are not in current testing. Arguably you can add “legal” methods that are utilized today that the richer teams are able to afford but lesser financially supported teams cannot.

Do I assume James enters into that murky area of performance enhancing methods in all the millions he spends annually… most likely. Do I care… no.

There has always been a holier than thou mentality when it comes to PEDs. The crucifying and stripping titles from Armstrong was comical. Especially while endorsing the MLB home run excitement or the size of NFL players. For fun, research how many 300 lb olinemen were on rosters 20, 30, 40 yrs ago. Just good diet and training or more?

I have always thought it would be amusing if the NBA or NFL adopted the same rigorous drug testing that cyclists endure. Year round testing, 10% of every game, and top performers of every game have mandatory testing. Currently they can’t even avoid getting caught when they are warned in advance by the leagues when they will get tested once a year. lol

PEDs are a part of any sport that nobody wants to think or talk about. Because it tarnishes our sporting heroes. It is so much easier to just cheer with our heads in the sand.

You're a funny person. The days after clean cycling came in, after the Schleck and Contador battles in the Tour, Contador being a known doper btw, you had almost a decade of boring Sky Trains. The sport is only just starting to recover and I believe it coincides with a return of doping. But when a guy with no acceleration like Cadel Evans would win the Tour you knew in those days the racing was mostly clean.

And then hilarious boredom.

Meanwhile Armstrong Pantani duels were legendary (both dopers and nobody cares). Pogacar is saving the spectacle of the Tour imo, Pogacar vs Vin is so much fun. But there's no way Pog is racing clean

I think he just proves the actual science right. I think they say in long distance running you don't loose a whole lot of until you are 70 if you take care of your body. Of course, loosing 5% doesn't let you win the olympics anymore. Strength training is the key though.

Pair that science with LeBrons not average body, work ethic, the ability to pay for whatever massage, treatment, personal chef cooking for him...
