Does hot weather affects steroid user?

[RD2191]

No, but it does affect people with a huge amount of muscle mass.

the one where he was sitting there helpless when tony knocks down the big 3 pointer... made me crack a shameful grin.

Steroids also affect muscle mass

I wonder if Wade's chin started cramping up.

[vander]

I was surprised it was LeBron and not Wade that went down from the heat. I thought wade was the juicer

[Pako]

May be wade did not took his medication....

[barbacoataco]

Lance Armstrong used to always have bad days in the heat. Strange coincidence
?

[KL2]

Well he did grow up in Ohio, probably not used to the heat/humidity, years of me working outside has gotten me used to it, I'm sure the Spurs are the same. It's probably been quite a while since he hasn't played in an air conditioned facility.

[Biernutz]

The media is putting a *asterisk on this game.....

[gospursgojas]

I asked myself this as soon as he started cramping. HGh prolly

[ducks]

james has history of this
get off the steroids that is why he does not play baseball

[spurs10]

Apparently.

... I hate to post ANYTHING here, because of all the dumb- responses. But here's the deal.

The heat affected LeBron more than the other players. If it is because of some substance, it's most likely from using a diuretic - either as a masking agent, or because of fluid retention (especially from HGH.) A lot of diuretics cause potassium loss, and THAT will make you cramp up like a . If he's already running on the low side with potassium, being on an unexpectedly hot floor would really make it worse, and make it hard to get the potassium level back up quickly.

There are potassium-sparing diuretics, like spironolactone, but those are the things they are looking for in piss tests, for obvious reasons. None of the undetectable (or less detectable) masking agents that I know of are potassium sparing. Also, HGH causes fluid retention. If you take a serious amount of it, it IS going to cause you to retain fluid, and you pretty much have to take a diuretic. And, once again, the potassium-sparing ones will get your ass busted in a piss test.

I'm not saying LeBron is juicing. I don't know. But if he is, it would sure make sense that he would be taking a diuretic, and would get -hammered from the abnormal fluid loss tonight. It might also explain why he seems to have recurring problems with cramps. If he's not juicing, he should probably have his kidneys checked.

[dav4463]

Serena Williams can't handle the heat anymore either. Coincidence?

[Malik Hairston]

The more lean muscle you're packing, the more likely you are to be affected by cramping..

It's a combination of Lebron's body type + Miami's over-reliance on James all year..

[hater]

Le3roids blood was probably boiling. good call

thanks for the info

[TJastal]

Cripes Leroid's eyebrow is even bulging out of his forehead. Looks like its about to burst too.

[hater]

I think so. It sems to have affected all 3 leroid wade and birdman

[Hoops Czar]

Nah. I thought Timmeh was the best player on the floor.

[Knoxxx]

I like these Chinese-sounding thread starters (non-English nativers)

[phxspurfan]

Yes, b/c steroids dehydrate u

[phxspurfan]

A lot of diuretics cause potassium loss,

Hence my assertions that a simple banana would have solved crampgate for LeBron. Too bad Bruce Bowen also owns all the produce markets in the area, along with being the only certified electrician...

[heyheymymy]

pretty sure lebron is juicing at this point.
