"Cooper Tests Positive for Anabolic Steroid

LAS VEGAS -- Dewey Cooper, the runner-up at last month's Battle at the Bellagio K-1 tournament, tested positive for a banned steroid immediately after his championship fight, according to the Nevada Athletic Commission.

The results of a urinalysis showed the presence of nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, in Cooper's system, according to a complaint the commission filed on May 11.

Cooper, at 202 pounds, is one of the most undersized K-1 heavyweights in the world. He beat a 240-pound foe in his first-round fight last month, then toppled a 280-pound opponent before falling short in the championship fight as boxing legend Muhammad Ali watched at ringside.

Cooper has the right to contest the results and appear before the commission, though a date has not yet been scheduled."

if this is true.dewey should ask his dealer for his money back.

Remember that steroids don't just make you big - depends on the type, dosage, training, etc....and nandrolene is a naturally occuring substance and something that has caused debate amongst testing circles....look at Mark Richardson, Linford Christie....

dewey has put out a statement denying he ever took any steroid,
you can check it out at;

Vitamin D is a Steroid. He never took that?

what a Shame, I do Like Dewey, people call him and he is the Lighter Smaller Guy and i respect and Admire and Big Up that !
I Dont However Appreciate Drugs of any kind, and Not to sound too Hypocritical,
I can see why he poss: ? Did ?
To try and Keep up with the Bigger Guys ! And its True to say im sure a Load of K-1 Guys `Have` and still use them To get that Big !
Esp: on their Rise Up !
Im "Not" Condoning it though !

Also i saw the Dewey Fight V Wots his Name? ( sorry Memory Blank )
about a year ago !
V the Rising Younger American ! Dewey was well Ripped Off !
What a load of Sh*t`n`Sh*te Judging and Moving of the Goal posts that was !
But thats another issue !

He's gonna need more than Steroids to beat our Raph Tai

Sandy Holt, I sure can't make much sense out of your post, but it sounds like you might think he's guilty of juicing to make 200 lbs, so I think you should read the statement on his web-site.

Sandy what drugs to you take to keep you small hahahahahahahahahahahah!!

Mr N Rich what do you take to be so funny???

Sandy, what the hell is your first language? :)

This is a good example to all of those people who think steroids are so rare in sports, and that steroid tests work. He was on steroids, he has skinny genetics. Laddy freaking dah. He's also far from being a monster. If you want to put pressure on these athletes and act like they're gods, dont' be surprised when they do things you consider drastic to perform better.

I think its Quite Simple what i was saying
Breakdown:- "Ref: Steroids"
For those that Dont Understand English and Sandy McThrapper-`Ese` :-p
1. I Dont Condone Drugs,
2. hes Light For ( U.S.A. ) K-1 Heavyweight !
3. I can see why he did it ? didnt ? To try to match the Pumped up Bigger Guys
( I dunno if he did or Didnt )
4. I Believe All the Super Big K-1 One Guys Have More than likely Taken them on the way up and / or Still might be ?
5. I was refferin g to his Fight on Last years American K-1 Fight, with Fellow American,
I Thought Dewey was Ripped off !
( = Dodgy Desc: )

El Comprehende'
Mai Khawchai ?
Capiche ?

Apparantly his retest returned a negative - he is clean.

Sandy, dont' take my joke seriously, like others have :) I was just commenting on your obsession with the exclamation point, that's all.

I agree with you with just about everything. But I really, really, really, really do not care about steroids anymore. If you do them with your head on straight you will not have any health problems, and most athletes who make money, and even a lot of people who don't, are taking them. like the "drug war" here in the states, it's very debatable as to whether or not it's worth the money spent to test athletes, especially when there are NUMEROUS resources available to athletes to hide the fact that they are using them. Most records in modern sports have probably been achieved with the use of performance enhancing drugs. I, for one, have serious neurological damage from having a herniated disc that was misdiagnosed for 5-6 years and have to take what would be classified as narcotics according to most athletic commissions, and I wouldn't be allowed to compete after taking a lot of drug tests. (actually, I could if I cheated, but the principle is the same) I think it's time to accept the fact that athletes are using drugs and deal with it. (Trust me: I saw enough in less than a year as a head trainer at a commercial gym to realize this) The more you persecute something like this that can't directly be affected by persecution, the more dangerous it becomes. It's hard to argue that a junkie would be breaking into a house for drug money when they could buy it at a drug store; likewise, it is hard to argue that an athlete would get steroids, taken from horses or cadavers, (and often from a veterinarian!) from some scumbag at the gym when they could get them from a normal doctor. Let it lie, and let athletes who want that extra edge do it without endangering their health by going to criminals instead of responsible doctors, is what I say.

i don't care either.


smiler,
my post was more sarcastic than anything.

that being said.i thought winstrol v was the steroid of choice for most fighters?

Eh?

Oh! Lol!! I see....its jsut that most people's misconception is that steroids just make you big! Sorry mate!

I'm not sure of the steroid of choice, I leave that to others who want medical problems in later life...

Mind you, I wouldn't worry about competing against someone on steroids, I recon' if they take them they are detracted elsewhere, like mentally, so I don't care - I'll do my best to beat them regardless!

As for drug of choice, how about ephedrine - seems to be pretty commonly used in gyms around the South....

Stay healthy, stay true to yourself, stay clean.

Smiler IS class,.. hes also clean from all that drug/steroid Bull Shit

Theres some ppl who say that Gary must be on gear just becoz hes gone so big,... theyre talking absolute crap! if anything Gary is ANTI steroids!

Now Gary shud take it as a complement becoz his physique is so sculptured!

Many of my students have said things about gary like
"he looks like a body builder/WWF wrestler" or,... " that gary turner is a right bruiser !" or "hes built like a brick shit house"

Yes, Smiler Commands respect...That is coming from an American that barely knows him. Never met him. Never seen him fight. Only read his posts on Ax.

How many of you guys smoke Tobacco????
Probibilly most of you as most kickboxers do!!!

Well here is something to think about!!!

Tobacco is more dangerous than Steroids!!!

YES, Just look at the number of people who die each year of smoking!!!
THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS WORLD WIDE!!!even people that dont smoke die of the shit being dreathed in by other smokers.

Now how many people die each year of Steroids???
Or more to the point!!!
When was the last time someone did die of steroids???

Alcohol is another Dangerous Drug & all drink shit loads of that and it kills millions of people every year behind the wheel of cars!!!

Steroids don't kill!!!they only make you bigger.

So what would you prefer??? to get bigger or Die of Alcohol & Tobacco smoke.

Dont Like Smoke nor Do it
Dont Like Booze Dont Drink it
Dont Like Drugs Dont do em

And Kickboxers Might Smoke?
Muay-thai-Boxers i'd like to Think dont !
:-)

Then Sandy!!!
your living in a dream world if you think that either Kickboxer or thai boxers dont do either
Real Thai Boxers in Thailand do nothing but Smoke & Drink!!!Shit loads
oh & they do Thai Boxing to

Not in a Dream World, Anyone whom Takes their Prof: Seriously as Most Thai's Do. and Most Fighters i Know in this Part of the World Dont ! Its usually those whom have Walked and Talked the "Hard" path usully end up doing one or the other or both, after a Tight Regime !

Re-phrase "this Part of the World Dont"
i meant Dont Smoke, Poss Drink, but thats usually when they are Not in competition !

sorry, but i will agree with you defo: re: Tobacco is a Drug !"

"I'm not sure of the steroid of choice, I leave that to others who want medical problems in later life..."

"want medical problems in later life?" BTW, we're all discussing a sport where we slam into each other with our fists, elbows, knees, and shins, not to mention absolutely annihilate our bodies in training, in case you forgot. You guys think you're not going to have health problems later in life from your hobby right now,and want to judge others because of steps they take to better their money making potential, sorry: you're absolutely full of shit. If you want to see the picture of health, I don't recommend you ask how Ramon Dekkers is doing.

Every top 10 list I see, there at least 5 people that I know for a *fact* that are on something. The hypocrisy about steroids among lower level athletes and fan boys is just hilarious. People juice. Big deal. Get over it. You got over Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, now get over your favorite athletes popping pills and sticking needles in their asses.

And yes, steroids and performance enhancing drugs do all sorts of things. The list of banned substances for competitions like dart throwing is hilarious because it's stuff that you'd never guess...like beta blockers.

Just the whole dick shrinkage shoul;d put you off
and man titiies...fu$k that!!!!!!

lol

Actually, if anything, your dick gets larger while on steroids. (Your nuts can shrink, though...big whoop. I think that's a bonus for athletes :)
