Chad didn't cheat he took topical steroid for skin problem
Wouldn't that be a cortico steroid, as opposed to an anabolic steroid, though? I can't see how cortico steroids would improve performance at all. If it was a synthetic testosterone cream he took, on the other hand...
No but if USADA suspends for DHEA anything is possibleWouldn't that be a cortico steroid, as opposed to an anabolic steroid, though? I can't see how cortico steroids would improve performance at all. If it was a synthetic testosterone cream he took, on the other hand...
Chad Mendes tested positive for GHRP-6, a peptide that releases more growth hormone then what would be naturally available. He blamed his positive test on a psoriasis cream, but upon further research its not an FDA approved drug and its not on the market so his source had to be through the black market. He never went to a doctor or the athletic commission and applied for a TUE, because he knew it was banned.
This is why USADA gave him 2 years, as opposed to the 1 year for a contaminated supplement defense.
I am glad he is back, but do you think it was a one off or a regular thing during his career?
Peptides and gh secretagogues are powerful PEDs. If that's what he tested for, then hell yeah he cheated.Chad Mendes tested positive for GHRP-6, a peptide that releases more growth hormone then what would be naturally available.

Well damn. Don't know what to say about that one.
Growth hormone-releasing peptide 6 (GHRP-6) (developmental code name SKF-110679), also known as growth hormone-releasing hexapeptide, is one of several synthetic met-enkephalin analogues that include unnatural D-amino acids, were developed for their growth hormone-releasing activity and are called growth hormone
Full camp = psoriasis creamBut but he'd have beat Conor if he had a full camp.
Haha, sherpocrisy.
