(Horsemeat is a helluva drug.)
In an interview with MMANews.com‘s Chris Howie, Alistair Overeem flatly denies that his growth spurt over the past three years is attributed to the use of performance enhancers such as anabolic steroids, testosterone or growth hormone.
The Dutch-born K-1 standout, who made the jump to the heavyweight class in 2008 fighting just over the minimum weight and now tips the weigh-in scale at approximately 255 pounds the day before his bouts, says that his increase in muscle mass is a result of his diet and weight training regimens.
“People will always speculate” says Overeem, “I will be tested just like anybody else and like I’ve said before I weighed 235lbs in no time when I did not have to cut weight. Gaining 10lbs a year by lifting weights isn’t a big problem. Before I would cut between 22lbs-26lbs to get to the 205lbs weight limit. It was crazy. Now that I can eat and do not have to cut anymore(with his move to heavyweight division) it was easy to put on the extra muscle weight. I feel great.”
Set to defend his Strikeforce title for the first time since defeating Paul Buentello to win the strap in 2007, Overeem chalks the drug accusations up to jealousy. He says that there will be no problems with his pre-fight drug tests ahead of his May 15 Heavy Artillery main event bout with Brett Rogers and asks why no one has put as much attention on UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar who used to work for Vince McMahon’s steroid scandaled World Wrestling Entertainment organization.
“I don’t see or hear any of these types of accusations towards Brock Lesnar, yet he is even bigger than I am. They can test me all they want. I’ll be in the states soon and I will prove everyone wrong.”
Ubereem also responded to the recent allegations by M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelchtein that Alistair has obviously realized the benefits of steroids horsemeat to his strength and fighting career.
“Vadim has apologized to me for his remarks and stated that M-1 would agree with the athletic commission rules and testing and they do not want me to do all the extra tests. Sounds promising (for a Fedor fight).”
At the rate Fedor is fighting at these days this fight is unlikely to happen before 2013, but since "The Demolition Man" will likely grow exponentially by then, unless "The Last Emperor" moves up to super heavyweight, it likely won’t.

commentsAnd I know, adding ten pounds of muscle is easy, I do it every time my cock gets hard.

Screw Overoids.
no, i meant steroids, he could be on hgh though
if he was smart enough he would be
steroids swell the head and feet,
here this will help
think of hgh as weed,
steroids as a heroine
hgh has not been proven in the lab to increase the amount lifting. it has a greater effect on muscle definition than muscle strength, And it doesn't seem to help much with cardiovascular fitness.
steroids on the other hand,
give the muscle a bulky or bloated look to it, and a texture of skin that may seem.. awkward
but i wouldnt put it past him on doing both and cycling between
example of cycling for him would be;
just faught, cycle steroids in,
fight coming up, get on hgh
30 pounds of muscle in 3 years is an attainable number for anyone with a little get up & go, for an elite athlete it should be little problem.
10 pounds a year is only a 1 lb gain every 5 weeks. Eat lots & lift heavy, not impossible, even for you lazy fat asses.
Overeem will show up clean as a whistle in any tests he's subjected to prior to the Rogers fight, or him and his team are some of the stupidest people on the planet.
The burning question is: Who gives a fuck?
I say let 'em go for it. Neuter them like geldings and juice 'em up to their eyeballs like race horses for all I care. I kinda like the idea of 300lb gorillas tearing chunks off one another.
I don't know if Overeem is juicing or not, but i put on 42 lbs of muscle in under 2 years with no roids or supplements at all, so i see no reason he couldn't have done the same.
Overeem by knees to the body
I assume you mean HGH, not steroids.
