Not Canes Specifice, but Still Interesting

Can't imagine how frustrating this must be for this kid. Sheds even more light on how murky the PED debate is, and how the NCAA picks and chooses where it makes its moral stands.

Interesting story, but I am going to call bs on it.

If the issue is he had what were essential "puddles" of steroids from the injection, that were injected into fat and thus "trapped", why is it showing up on a blood test?

If it's showing up on a blood test, it must be getting into the bloodstream, and thus would eventually be cleared from the body.

Fat is metabolized over a long period of time. Water soluble drugs clear the system quickly. Fat soluble takes time. Both will be in the blood stream though, but the quantities of each change depending on a number of factors.

It still smells more like BS than BBQ.

Interesting......

A steroid injected into fat would take years to clear the system? Legit question

Not sure it would take years as it may be case specific, but typically injections should be delivered to the muscles rather than fat (fat has much poorer blood vessel distribution in comparison). Just think of the times that you have gotten shots and where on your body the injections were made. Typically it's on your arms, legs or butt where there is a lot of muscle.

Deca can be traced back about 1.5 years or so. Injections are given IM so it appears as though the Doc did a subcutaneous injection. I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around this because even when injection mistakes are made, i.e. not using a long enough needle in the glute, the gear still makes it's way into the bloodstream eventually, it just takes longer. Someone please explain to me how this gear never made it out of the fat tissues?

Exactly, hammer.

HoutxCane, thanks for that.

Also, the common use for deca (the common name for norandralone), is for anemia. I don't really see how it's use would be appropriate on an 18 year old, except to aid recovery, which IMO could be seen as a competitive advantage in itself.

One thing is fact though which is it takes 18 months for the body to fully clear it.

Seems like one of these half truths stories.
