Brian Cushing popped for PED's

[ATZ]

Those of you who follow NFL / Defranco's training will know that Cushing (one of his feted gym guys) got done this week for drugs. The story goes he tested positive for HCG rather than steroids, but we all know what HCG is used for...

From pro football talk:

The bizarre case of Texans linebacker Brian Cushing took another turn toward Cuckootown with a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN that Cushing "took and passed a lie-detector test" in order to prove that he didn't "take a PED." This 140-characters-or-less item from Schefter on Twitter raises a lot more questions than it answers.

Defranco's response:

Friday night I was eating dinner with my girlfriend and 2-year-old niece at a Jersey Diner when I see Brian Cushing's name appear on ESPN's ticker for violating the NFL's steroid policy. I was shocked! But, my first reaction was NOT, "Damn Cush, what the hell were you thinking?!" I immediately looked at my girlfriend and said, "There is NO FU#KING WAY Cush failed a steroid test! This is DEFINITELY a mistake...I gotta call him ASAP!" The reason I KNEW Cush didn't fail a steroid test is because I know Brian Cushing, the person. And I know FOR A FACT that he does NOT take anabolic steroids (even though I just saw it on ESPN). In fact, in all my years of training Cush, we've never even talked about steroids!

Obviously in my opinion, being 265lb and ripped he's definately 100% Natural, it's just Defranco's super sekretz training at play...

shame...he is a beast of a player and I'm a Texans fan.

Well to show how weak the policy on drugs is over there he's only been banned for 4 games!

Hell, i wish they'd just come out and legalize drugs in sports like NFL, then we could see just how sick these boys could get...

[madcap]

4 games is a quarter of the season mind... And I don't think he can be named in any team of the year type shiz now

But I agree, they're all on it, so they might as well make it legal in the NFL. Then again, it is a felony in the US.

[Dave284]

To be honest if he is using then he is just unlucky for getting caught. Drug use is rampant in all top level sport so unless they test the shit out of everyone all the time then they may as well not bother. James Haskell was roided up to the eye balls when he was at uni, wouldnt surprise me if a lot of other top level rugby players weren't too.

Interesting, that fact or hearsay about Haskell?

[Dave284]

Seems to be fairly common knowledge although I have no firm evidence for it

Shame, I do enjoy some of the Defranco vids he's in. A fecking beast that guy.

He has rather perky nipps on that 1st picture Al - assume that was before he did any weights

I reckon he was on gear in the first pic aswell - Plat you're right mate, definite gyno there.:veg:

That pic has been discussed at length - is it teen gyno? Is it AAS enahnced? The jury is out...

Apparently Cushing hit last year combine at 250lb @ 15% BF, which is ridiculous already. This year he's quoted as being 265lb at the same BF, which if there is any truth to he deserves to get banged for substance abuse, idiot.

[FAT SAM]

I had gyno as a kid, it went away when i was 15-16 then came back when i got fat. I think the AAS is going to make it worse.

My guess is that, like myself, he is prone to it and that pic was taken after a cycle.

Teen gyno normally resolves itself and he is what, 19-20ish in that pic?

Do they test BF for the NFL? Or is this just a reported internet figure?

[plateau2]

Apparently after the fail he was tested every week for the rest of the season and passed.

also he retained his rookie of the year award after a revote

[JumboTron9million]

He failed for HCG yeah? Plenty of that in pregant womens urine - maybe he just has a wee fetish (see what I did there?) that he doesn't want us to know about?

[ATZ]

Very interesting take on the situation:

[plateau2]

Most bro-science says that HGH without AAS doesn't do much.

So guess he (and the rest) would be using a new AAS that cannot be detected yet too?

[ATZ]

HGH helps recovery not necessarily muscle growth.

[chi]

it has to be utter bullshit, surely.

That's the lamest excuse I've ever seen amyone try to come up with.
