I think the sports community is just so jaded by years and years of PED scandals/rumors that we actually assume most of them are doping one way or another. Lebron and Oden for example both looked 40 years old in high school, it's easy to believe that's not natural.
James was more developed than any HS player I've ever seen, including 5 star defensive ends.
Nah. I am going to bag on him every chance I get, because I am a sports fan and proof is unnecessary for any narrative I want to believe.
I think it's over the top to toss around accusations about Lebron's kid since we really know nothing about his situation. But with the claim by the fighter that he was on the same drug regimen as Lebron plus the fact James looked middle aged and had a fully developed game as a teenager in addition to what he's been able to do so late in his career, speculation and suspicion seem warranted. Even though none of that is proof of wrongdoing on LBJ's part.
That's just not sports! People in general in all categories will be trashing other people now days. I think it's because we got used to posting anonymously online, and now our filter is broken in real life, too!

Oden looked so old, he must have been doping on Milk of Magnesia.
I think Austin Rivers speaks for a lot of players that have remained silent about the new CBA.

“This is why our CBA deal that we just signed and I don’t even want to get heavy into that,” Rivers said, “don’t even get me started on that deal that we’ve got going, because it’s top heavy. That’s why you’re seeing all these teams right now, where you either make $50 million of two. And it’s the most lopsided contract.
“I mean it’s a joke, bro. I can’t tell you how many mid-level guys are signing for vet minimum around the NBA. It’s laughable.”
Veteran point guard says Lillard-Heat situation is ‘bad for the league,’ as James Harden chimes in
Longtime NBA guard Austin Rivers vents on Damian Lillard-Miami Heat gambit on trade market.
It really is crazy. The Jalen Brown contract is the latest example. The richest contract in the history of the league for a guy who is not even the best player on his own team. This should have had lower top-end deals and higher vet minimum scales, especially escalating for years in the league. Whoever negotiated this on the players union side should be fired.I think Austin Rivers speaks for a lot of players that have remained silent about the new CBA.

Yeah, one of my buddy’s cousins was a top DE ASU recruit a couple decades ago and he was a beast.
Yep... probably PEDs too
Naw not all of them. We had a kid in my high school, 6’4 and built like a tank. Played center for our basketball team. Definitely not PEDs. You could see his transformation easily over four years. Nothing unnatural about it. But he was a man out there. There are occasional anomalies is nature.
With James we have people who have come out and said he does and his physical changes over the years looks like PEDs.
In one study I just came across by googling, more than half the respondents started using PED's before they were 16. Another article I came across at NIH said that 11% of teens (11% overall, not just athletes) in 2013 admitted taking human growth hormones, usually to gain an advantage in athletics or to improve appearance.
