Michael Johnson Stroke

Long-term effects of steroids.

Yes one side effect is narrowing of the arteries.

f you look at him he looks fantastic compared to a typical man of his age. In the recent docs I have seen him in about the speed gene and Usain Bolt his family is way overweight. I wonder if any of them have had any strokes?

This.

Folks, this isn't the first time. He had a heart attack years ago and was in the hospital under an assumed name. Why would he hide this and pretend he was surprised about this current stroke? I think we know why.

Any evidence of this?

MJ is full of crap from the get go. annoying

Man you yanks sure stick up for your national sporting icons. Pondweed on this forum.

Having to put up with the awful Colin Jackson and Denise Lewis commentate on BBC, it is absolutely great having MJ show them how its done.

MJ was rarely pushed in the 400. I saw him run in the 43s many times in which he eased up well before the line since it was not the final. At his best and pushed I believe he could have done 42.8 or so.

Your mom feels sorry for you.

MJs kids, family & friends wish badly for you.

Certainly, your douchiness is the reason your mom feels sorry for you.

Can't blame her though.....She still has to justify to your daddy why she shouldn't have aborted you and now she has to go argue with him again.

C'mon, man. That's not needed.

Be nice. His mom MIGHT feel sorry for him.

I always used to say, a sprinter that looks like he spends more time in the weight room than on the track is on steroids - MJ, Burrell, Johnson, Crawford, Gay, etc.

Take a look at Christian Coleman and his 15-year old girl arms and note the difference. Noah Lyles included. A minimal amoutn of muscle.

...or they actually do spend more time in the weight room than the track! Not uncommon.

Still, I will add Wayde van N, Andre DeGrasse and Donovan Bailey to the "lean and clean" list.

i know a guy from the mj camp with the report, off the record ...

the very worst PED people are those who perpetuate the crime for ever, to this day. all that nonstop BS on BBC.

this guy is total garbage.

the telltale signs of roids and a sprinter is the extreme development of muscles that have nothing to do with sprinting.

with the women, you can look at photos age 16,17,18, ...21, 22 then boom, morph to bodybuilder, training pretty hard all the while.

then you wait for the bust.

which always comes, except when they protect you, = flo joe, lewis, bolt, etc.

speaking of bolt, roids and sprinters, noah lyles could very well be the fastest, least PED enhanced 200m ever.

then again, you got the switch to peptides, and that was what? 5 to 10 years ago.

no clue what else they're doing.

and the info comes from where? the athletes, duh.

and so goes the saga of PEDs, and the never ending string of suckers who think their hero is clean,

and the hero lies in the sick charade.

bolt i believe is a natural 43 400 man, probably the only one, but that 100m is complete fiction, one thousand percent.

That’s the first invitation to a party being hosted by the grim reaper.

You know almost nothing about either MJ or myself.

You may find me equally pathetic, but that doesn't change my impression of MJ, nor make it any less valid.

He has always been so guarded, so secretive, so suspicious. I have never trusted him an inch. He always seems as though he is on the verge of coming out, coming clean, but never does. I get the sense that it has worn on him. He set expectations too high for himself, overcompensating for something in his life. The types of goals set by his personality type are ones I find neither laudable, nor interesting--just pathetic.

I get the impression that he has never actually lived his life, so to speak.

Also, you can give numbers for 50-yr-old blacks to prove that it is common.

"not uncommon" does not mean "common" boob.

A 50 yr old black male suffering a TIA would not be statistically unusual within the scope of the happenstance of TIA occurrence.

On the contrary, that is PRECISELY what it means.

Of course now you have chafingly backpedaled from "not uncommon" to "not statistically unusual within the scope of the happenstance of TIA occurrence", whatever that means! It sounds circular to me.

Please elaborate and reason to your conclusion that it is "common".

Why are you asking for facts when you're the first one to doctor the facts in order to make them suit your needs. See your topic about Sus progression. Cherry picking athletes that have a "dubious" progression while going as far including people that have never tested to anything to make your list bulkier is probably the least scientific method possible

Hello moran, I never claimed it was a fact, I said it was something that I felt was a signature, and I have been adding to the list of examples. Not only that, but it was I who made sure to point out those examples that have not yet received an adverse analytical finding.

OTOH a specific claim to a fact was made here, that it is "not uncommon for people (guys) of his age who are not PED users".

Unlike the half-second-over-1-or-2-years improvement among many of those who have tested positive, there is a TON of epidemiological research on TIA. I could find it all myself in a few minutes, but I needn't. I didn't make the assertion for which support, if it exists, is easy to find. Whole armies of people do the research all day, every day.

Numbers, please, or STFU.

This is just a bunch of uninformed conjecture masquerading as something factual. It's good creative writing but nothing else. Your imaginative life is a rich one.

"Over an average 6.8 years follow-up, 301 of 2,993 participants with a previous stroke at baseline had a recurrent stroke, while 818 of 26,689 participants who were stroke-free at baseline had a first stroke. Among those stroke-free at baseline, there was an age-by-race interaction (p = 0.0002), with a first stroke risk 2.70 (95% confidence interval: 1.86–3.91) times greater for black than white participants at age 45, but no racial disparity at age 85 (hazard ratio = 0.91; 95% confidence interval: 0.70–1.18). In contrast, there was no evidence of a higher risk of recurrent stroke at any age for black participants (p > 0.05). The association of traditional stroke risk factors was generally similar for first and recurrent stroke."
