Did alexander karelin ever take steroids?

Question

ive been wondering bc he was from the soviet union(they distributed steroids) and i dont see how its possible that he would be 6 foot 4 without hgh bc his mother was 5"3 and his father was 5"7 that makes him 9 inches taller than his father which doesnt make sense so what do you think?

Answer 1

Ever study genetics? If any of his ancestors were tall on both his paternal and maternal family lines then his parents could carry a recessive gene for tallness. If he recieved two recessive genes for tallness then he'd be taller than his folks.

Answer 2

Parents don't have to be that tall to have a Tall Child...!!
