After the recent revelation that Tiger has been closely associated with PED'S , would it really surprise you if Lebron is using too?Rashard Lewis has already been suspended 10 games this year for using a banned substance
I am watching the Cavs VS Suns tonight and Lebron is making the most athletic plays I have ever seen, even for Lebron . Even the announcers mentioned he is now up to
271 LBS more than once tonight, it seemed as they were hinting at something. I have to agree, there has never been a player in league history , that big and that strong to be able to move like that and look like that. Something smells fishy here , especially with that tumor on his jaw earlier this year
EDIT This article from SI in January of 2009 makes me wonder even more about Lebron and PED'S.

And just how big is James, exactly? Well, that is a matter of intense speculation around the NBA. He came into the league in 2003 weighing 240 pounds and is listed at 250 in this year's media guide, but that number is clearly low. There are whispers that he goes 265; one report recently had him at 274. "He's at least 260, right?" guessed Jackson, who added that D-ing up James is like "guarding a brick wall."
In an attempt to settle the matter last week I brought a scale to my interview with James at a ballroom in San Francisco's St. Regis Hotel. He laughed, but didn't get on. "I can't let everybody know everything about LeBron," said James, who more than any other star understands the value of mystique. He did joke that he'd "gotten fat" -- this from a man with 5% body fat whose raised veins run like tiny interstates up his arms and calves -- then hemmed and hawed before confiding that he had gained eight pounds this summer "even though I was trying to lose 10." That said, a Cavs source puts James's weight "between 265 and 270
Why would James not allow the public know what he really weighs ? What is he trying to hide? And how do you put on 8 LBS when you are trying to lose 10 LBS?
And then this......
This is sure to exasperate scrawny teenagers toiling in weight rooms the world over, but despite his bodybuilder's physique, James has never really lifted. At least not the way a normal human would to develop such musculature. (Think heavy weight, low reps, lots of grunting and Metallica.)
Rather, James began working out seriously only last June. "He just messed around in the weight room and got by on raw strength his first few years," says Cavs trainer Mike Mancias, who oversees all of James's conditioning work. Even now, James eschews what he calls "iron-man championship lifting," such as the bench press, for core exercises, dumbbells and, starting last summer, yoga -- not that he was an easy convert. "I had to start with poses he wouldn't think were too goofy, if you catch my drift," says Mancias. Still, there was James at a hotel in Los Angeles last summer, busting out some downward dog by the pool in front of his fellow guests.
That James has gained weight is as much a mystery to him as anyone else. He doesn't gulp protein shakes or pound down extra carbs, instead eating three square meals (such as oatmeal, chicken, salmon) prepared by his chef, with the occasional candy snack in between. "It's kind of crazy," James says. "My body's, like, reversed."
A human body doesn't just get that big naturally . He only started working out heavily in the past year? NFL players bust their asses in the gym on a daily bases for years to get a body even somewhat close to that . This article makes me think he is definitely on something...
