Nothing personal, But the Skinhead type crap, is different story, Call out a person, not a culture. I couldn't care less who gets caught on roids, But my Ethnocentric pride gets a little shaken, when I see some something written on a board dedicated to Armwrestling that sounds like a "Cold War" is still going on. Every country has problems with roids , Take that eye patch off and maybe you will see that. Actually, I did call out a specific person. If you would've taken off your shades and started the thread on page 1, maybe you would've seen that. I erased the specific post with the person called out, although I'm sure you'll find it quoted a couple times. I have the right to take cheap shots back at whomever fires away, but to answer your question, now it's a war of generalizations. Specific or general, you just can't satisfy anyone this day in age. This thread and pissing contest is old, take care.

Haha, omg.... why did you change that.... I liked what you said earlier, so classic! That's why I didn't, Too many Russian speakers, for Romanized Cyrillic name calling on the board ;D That's good you can read Russian. Even though some might disagree I hate to argue with people about this stuff, We are all armwrestlers only oceans and opinions keep people apart.

The funny part is all the kudos and PM's I'm sent for the original comment...all of those comments such as..." I couldn't have said it better myself..." For all those who jump on the other side of the bandwagon publicly, you know who you are. Look up the definition of "Hypocrite". Do not worry, your hat tricks remain safe. Sure this turned into a silly pissing contest. As for offending an entire culture, look at his last post. Overweight people of the world, you have been judged. I know I Pm'ed you, but It was early on and it was before it turned to the cold war, Russia sucks and it went to just you and Alexendar

We should all drop this, I agree, it has gotten really silly...I am sorry to the World. I believe most of you would have a difficult time making it through an episode of South Park. Peace.

I guess all Legends must have a Herculean Physique??? Right on! I do not believe I am saying this, but I agree 100% with you. Being and physical monster means very little. Heart, integrity and respect may serve as a solid foundation to build upon. I remember a couple of years back watching a video of a US event. In that video Chris Chandler was walking from the table after losing a match. Frustrated, he looked into the camera and said something like this: ' I guess all this buffiness and muscle I put on means very little at the table'. And right there that young man, in my eyes, became a 10ft tall 300lbs monster of a human being, capable of thinking rationally. Going back to Arsen, I honestly believe all that physique and strength feats have little to do with his performance at the table. Going back to the handshake, I mentioned a million posts earlier. In my opinion, Arsen has very small and even soft hands. Unfortunately for many, once he goes into a grip, he becomes a solid Wall. Couple that with his drag racer's reaction and speed which he managed to import from his teen years, and you arrive at Michael Phelps of armwrestling. As far as Russia vs US. We all know its just childish. Lets not forget that Mr. Gorbachev did bring the wall down putting and end to the Evil Empire. I am looking forward to seeing your teammates in Italy next month. Gotta run. Have bears to trap, vodka to drink, kiss my babushka wearing wife goodnight, while wearing my flappy ears fir hat. ANd of course play a game of chess to stay warm on these cold summer nights. Peace. Russia out.

And no, it is not easier getting steroids here. You either have to find a corrupt doctor or find a black market dealer. Plus working with kids, whose parents put their trust in me, I will most definitely face serious criminal charges for endangering the welfare of a child. At 53 I have never seen the inside of a prison cell, and it is not on my list of things to do before I die. And take my word, if a member of a Russian team fails a test, as shameful as it is, I would be in the from row cheering for people moving up the ladder and our sport moving slowly in the right direction.

I don't know how easy it is there but I know in the UK is seems to be very easy to get and is the 2nd most common drug used to canabis...most of the guys in the new gym are openly on it and say I could almost double my strength in a month!

Its time to change the gym. I think we have better chance of seeing Bigfoot armwrestling Jimmy Hoffa on the back of Loch Ness on their way to the city of Atlantis, before we see Steve yield to the temptation of doubling his strength the easy way. From what I have heard, you do not smoke, drink alchohol or use any other mind altering substances. Keep it clean man.
