National interest seems to be focused on "1 on 1 Elite Personal Fitness", operated by Kelly Blair in Pasadena TX. Already connected to Yankee pitcher (and HGH user) Andy Pettitte, Blair also sports other interesting connections. (like Richard Hidalgo, see below)
Apparently there is connection between Blair and bodybuilder/jailbird Craig Titus. Titus awaits trial on charges of murdering his female personal assistant. (TItus and fitness model girlfriend Kelly Ryan allegedly murdered Titus's assistant). Titus reportedly supplied Blair's gym with 'roids and PEDs.
A look at Blair's website reveals photos of Blair with various athletes (MLB unless otherwise noted):
- Pedro Borbon (Angels)
- RIchard Hidalgo
- Eric Dubose
- Danny Bautista
- J.C. Romero
- Hector Carrasco
- Kelvim Escobar (Angels)
- Javier Bracamonte
- Donnie Elliott (Padres)
- Andy Pettitte (Yankees)
- Chuck Clemens (NFL QB with Jets, and Eagles)
- Mike Standley (PGA)
- Shaun Helmle (golf)
- Chuck Liddell (UFC)
Simply going to a gym, or posing for a picture with a gym owner doesn't convict anyone of PED use. However, it appears this gym is gluteus deep in PED use.
Blair himself seems to know a great deal about 'roids:
Blair spoke authoritatively about steroids in September 2006, for an article in Pasadena's local newspaper.
"People that use steroids suffer near-constant joint pain later on down the line," Blair told the Pasadena Citizen. "I've seen 30-year-old men that have the joints, tendons and organs of a 70-year-old. ... I've seen so many (athletes) suffer from depression when they have to cycle off of the stuff, and it's not something that's really talked about. From what I've seen, it's one of the worst."
Hidalgo generated an uncharacteristic and incredible year in 2000 for Houston:
44 HR 122 RBI .314 AVEHe never approached those numbers again in his MLB career. When did Hidalgo meet and train with Blair? 2000?
What? No post about Hank Steinbrenner's comments today?
The reason the NFL implemented steroid tested 20 years ago was because THEY NEEDED IT 20 YEARS AGO!!! That is how far ahead of the PED curve the NFL is, and always will be. There is no practical test for HGH yet in existence. By the time steroid testing started in the NFL its players had allready moved on to the next wave of PEDs, which included HGH and designer steroids that were not originally detectable in urine tests. By the time a useful HGH test comes into existence NFL players will have allready moved on to the next wave of PEDs. Here in lies the rub. The science/players are always ahead of the game.
It so totally figures that when someone with some national profile FINALLY speaks up and talks about something that no one wants to admit he'll just be painted as an old kook. But we all know that he is right.
This is not just a baseball problem. It is a sports problem. It is a societal problem.

All indications of the players/athletes you mentioned have been removed from the "1 on 1" site. Interesting.

if feds investigate one to one then all the gyms across the country should get their attorneys because steroid dealers are in every gym across the country.
