haha ben olsens chest hair looked hilarious . That is like 40 year old virgin .

[Diakonov]

lol at Benny's bald chest spots. Also shows just how damn fit these guys are.

Anybody know why FIFA is mandating this new testing? Perhaps because of Marc Vivien Foe in the Confed Cup?

[Hustletown]

Conrad seems a little too determined to have perfect teeth, lol.

Nelson, not sure why the fitness testing is being implimented but I'd guess just as an added security measure to make sure the players will be safe and don't have anything wrong with them they don't know about.

What about when Donovan asked the nurse if the "Lando Lovin" was good for her. Seemed as though she felt uncomfortable.:p

[aggiebird02]

I noticed that too, but she did get a chuckle out of it. also, it did seem as though most of the nurses were amazed by what the athletes were doing.

[brandnew_de]

this is slightly off topic, but it never ceases to amaze me as to how down to earth the USMNT is. Most of them seem like genuinely approachable guys.

health precautions and doping control: good noble aims.

also, the video at ussoccer is excellent.

anyone how doesn't take advantage of the in-depth audio and video available at www.ussoccer.com is really missing out.

fifa's drug testing is as piss poor as major league baseball....

you have to be a fool to get caught.......

designer steroids and the latest will pass what fifa does....

blood doping might be the most benficial approach, and even in elite cycling events, catching them via tests is hard...you basically have to test TOO fit, outside accepted tolerances which FIFA aint; gonna do...

and the nfl, christ thw carolina panthers got caught red handed in a sting and none of them even failed their nfl tests....

nick saban at lsu and michigan st has the best in getting his boys roided up...

and i'm sure his dophins are doing the appropriate cheating now, too

[lemons]

Beasley is hilarious.

[keller4president]

did we really need the footage of them getting blood samples removed?

otherwise, funny video. the nurse on Landon: "Your numbers were pretty good...actually, they were amazing."

And from this video and the ice-bath one, you can tell that Landon has the corniest sense of humor. I can see Dempsey secretly laughing to himself everytime Landon tries to act "bad-ass".

Actually, that nurse who thought the numbers were "amazing" was working on Pablo, not Landon. And that nurse was pretty cute, too. ;)

Favorite part was Olson's bare spots on his chest.

[dredgfan]

what you got against LSU and Nick Saban? Louisiana boys get natural roids from just living here and eating momma's food.

Didn't the DeBoers and Davids test positive a fewe years back in separate incidents?

Whoever said designer roids are undectable is correct. It was only by accident that the UCLA Steroid unit developed a test that cracked the Balco roids. The whole department at UCLA just plays cops and robbers...they actually brainstorm to create new roids, then develop tests that will expose their use.....a pretty tough process in that its expensive, time consuming and they have to guess correctly.
