The UFC has a serious problem on its hands. This is bigger than the usual problems like free agent fighters and repairing injury-riddled cards. The UFC is at a serious crossroads when it comes to PED use, and it is not coming down on a side that the public should be happy with.
LONDON: Dwain Chambers' lawyer accused the British Olympic Association (BOA) of "colonial arrogance" after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Monday ruled their lifetime ban on drugs cheats contravened the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code.

For any of you that have attended one of our Hoot’s Chalk Talk educational programs, please make note that this dealer was a) procuring his steroid powders (raw materials) from China, and b) mixing that powder with olive oil before putting the steroids into vials and selling them. This example is EXACTLY what we’ve been telling you and the public for several years.… Continue Reading…

“I’m honored to join the Board of this outstanding Foundation,” said Levine. “With the help of Major League Baseball, the Yankees, and other supporters, Don Hooton and his team have done more over the years to educate our kids as well as their parents and coaches about the dangers of these drugs than any other organization. Every young person they reach with their message is potentially a life saved. I look forward to being part of their efforts to drive awareness of this problem as well as helping them reach their goal of eliminating steroid abuse.”
“It’s not every day you have the opportunity to bring someone of Randy’s stature into an organization,” said Taylor Hooton Foundation Board Chairman Neil Romano. “His accomplishments as President of the Yankees for the past 12 years are well-known and considerable,” said Romano, “but his abilities go far beyond just the game of baseball. In the increasingly complex world of business and philanthropic endeavors, there are few people better than Randy to have on your team!”
“Having someone like Randy Levine join our Board is further validation of everything we’ve been trying to accomplish since this Foundation started over 8 years ago,” said THF Founder and President Don Hooton. “I’m absolutely thrilled that he’s agreed to join us, and excited to think about how much more we can accomplish together over the next few years with Randy’s help,” added Hooton.… Continue Reading…

I read with great interest this article about steroids being found in the home of some CSU football players. Based on my experience, I am certain that everyone involved with the program is expressing “shock” at this finding. Coaches and athletic directors are probably expressing surprise – and reassuring fans that this is an isolated instance – that they are confident that there are no other players at CSU that are juicing. That it’s just these three guys and no one else!… Continue Reading…
When adolescent changes appear to spurt ahead at warp speed, parents should consider whether or not their teenager is taking steroids. Unfortunately this over-simplification doesn’t always work, because kids mature at different times, at different rates, and sometimes even under differing social environments, with competitive sports and “looking good” often in the mix.… Continue Reading…
