he is passing the test but lance armstrong passes 11 million tests before he got popped.after watching icarus think pretty much all the top athletes in every sport are on something.just because you are tested doesnt mean you are clean.its not like these guys are popping d-bol tabs .they are on the next level shit with a doctors program made to beat the tests.there is not one fighter or athlete in any sport that would surprise me if they were using PEDs

Stann's small hands aside, how old do you think Ngannou really is?
No idea, but when manute bold was brought over to play basketball, they had no idea how old he was and neither did he, so they just said he was 19 since that was the expected age for college ball. In a recent interview, the coach that brought him over said when he was in the nba he was more likely in his 40's and 50's.

PEDS aside or not, the guy is a freak of nature. It's crazy to think that there are still humans out there that can still send you to the shadow lands with one punch, even after training your whole life. He's legit with or without peds imo.

I'd say he's natural if what people are saying about his time training is true. You can definitely go from skinny, but still laced with lean muscle, to what we see above if you have high T, which I'm sure he has. He's 31, if he started training seriously when he was 24 he would be at the prime age for building muscle.

Steroids aren't always the reason for being incredibly jacked. Sometimes it's just hardwork and dedication.

We have to remember the dudes also a total monster in terms of frame.

Who knows though.

This got me searching. I found this for anyone interested:
Manute Bol may have been 50 when he played in the NBA

fun quote from the article: His son, Bol Bol, is a star 7-foot-1-inch center in high school

I can't think of anything negative about the guy, but looking at his old body frame, specifically the thickness levels of the before's and after, it definitely at the very least looks suspicious.

You can tone your muscles, build them as well, but as an adult to look that thin and a few years later be as thick as he is now, not talking about muscles talking about thickness, it just doesn't look natural.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but he's 31 and a physical specimen, what has he done different from the first pic if it's not illegal roids?
Maybe he just works out with Royce...

Normally I'd agree but you have to imagine he's probably eating a lot more now/getting better nutrition than he was over in Cameroon.

So comparing a picture of him when he was likely a teenager...pre moving from Africa (unlikely 3 hearty meals a day) to France (and living on the streets) and both pre him finding a gym to workout in.

Gotcha

You look at that picture of him and immediately assume he's a teen in that pic?

There is something fishy about the UFC brining in fighters to their personal center for special training and nutrition.

One would think if a company in desperation due to falling ratings and short on stars they would look to manufacture their own super stars by giving them special "treatment".
I have said this before and will say it again.
Its a conflict of interest.

I knew about Bol Bol being a top HS prospect for basketball, didn't know the thing about Manute Bol's age.

Bol Bol is currently 7'3 and 18years old

Seems more athletic than his dad, but won’t be an impact player in today’s NBA. Nobody cares about big men in the current b-ball style of play. He needs to be able to guard a fast guy on the perimeter. He would be a huge liability in defense his two blocks and 8-10 re kinda per game would not make up for getting scorched by players on the outside.

I have my doubts on him being natural. Too much cheating in sports in general, it really does pay to cheat. Also more suspect when athletes from poorer countries are at the top of their chosen sport. That documentary Icarus even shows how the 3rd world countries give out gear like it's a health supplement, and they are desperate to give their families a better life, so it's worth it to them.

He's 100% legit in my eyes until proven guilty. I naturally will always have my doubts due to the history of sports and cheating.
