I miss the days when you had to have proof to accuse someone.
Wouldn't the proof be:
1) Him losing a lot of muscle
2) Him looking younger since prior seasons
3) Cramping in hot temperatures which happens with someone who takes HGH
4) Receding Hairline
Now you could say these are all circumstantial and that there are other reasons for these events happening but it isn't a stretch to say he took HGH.
That's the very definition of circumstantial.
I'm not even saying he doesn't or hasn't, but people throw that out as it's fact. Using the same reasoning, one can argue that the majority of NBA players use HGH (the stakes are too high not to) and that Lebron still stands out as an exceptional athlete even given that baseline.
Ridiculous? Sure, so is all speculation to a large degree.
You do have to be careful about making assumptions in some circumstances, even if most people suspect it already. One of these days some random poster is going to get dinged some money be a celebrity who finally decides to flex his legal muscle. Brian Burke tried it and has seemingly failed, but one of these days it will happen and a celeb will win one.
With all that said, for years random posters on the internet just assumed Lance Armstrong was on drugs for all his TdF wins and they were eventually proven right.
