I don’t think diet and exercise are the reason, or mere time off. They’ve had time off of the road numerous times in the past, plus diet regiment and exercise are a regular part of the lifestyle of athletes - something these guys have been for nearly their whole lives. But when athletes suddenly hit their physical and athletic peaks in their mid-30s, it’s steroids.

There is simply no way you can be as on top of your diet and exercise on the road as you could at home. If they were so inclined, they could have definitely improved upon their routine during that year. And it's not uncommon for men to reach peak muscle mass in their early 30s. A bit quick to assume it's drugs is all I'm saying.

Sure, but as I pointed out in the post you're responding too, this is far from their only time off the road; and very far from their longest time off the road. Their latest time off the road also wasn't a year, it was two months. And as I pointed out above, these aren't just dudes who started exercising later in life and achieved muscle peak in their early thirties, these are guys who have been athletes for decades and (especially Montez Ford) suddenly gained a lot of muscle and athleticism over a very short time in their mid 30s. And I don't think I'm being quick to deduce PEDs at all - I'd go as far to say that these guys couldn't be more obviously on steroids even if their names were Lance Armstrong and Ben Johnson.
