I just don't understand why so many athletes test positive for things like nandrolone and boldenone....why would you take the things that have metabolites that show up for the longest period of time after use?!?!

I'v eoften though the same thing, sureley, propionate, then test suspension would be better. Stupidity I guess, remember these are the ones getting caught, the others may be cleaverer

i wonder sometimes if these test are so sensitive that it actually makes them inaccurate.
