"In 1988 I have received an invitation to participate at Worlds Strongest Man contest.  I was very pleased, because I have felt that faith has chosen me that path what to follow since birth.  The reason why I can make this statement is due to the fact that since my childhood I have been in contact with strength.

What ever happened to me in my childhood, it was destiny.  I was way better than others surrounding me regarding strength.
Strength was inside me.  I was destined and I felt that I will be capable of making a statement, doing big things in life.  It happened, because I have been representing a great nation in this sport discipline. I am happy that I was born Hungarian.

In 1989 I have become fifth in Spain, meaning that I have been the fifth strongest man in the world.  I think all Hungarians along with me shall be proud of this!

I knew at that time that I want to become The World’s Strongest Man. Since I was a student in general school I have been training and I have been determined to be “Clean” regarding my career as a sportsman.  This is who I am.  Unfortunately, I have to find out that the world is not the way I would like it to be and there are different people attending those contests and they do not think the way I do.
These competitions are not meant to be given the equal choice to all of the contestants regarding the cleanness of the sport.

I was born to be strong, there are others just wanting to be. These people are the ones taking performance enhancement drugs.  These are the same people playing roles, even to themselves.  They are blaming others.  They are talking bad things about others instead of recognizing the superiority of those who possessed that thing called natural strength. If they are not recognizing the fact that normal people are just laughing and making fun of them, as they are fake.

Unfortunately there are lots of people on all the fields and domains of sport in Hungary. I am very pleased that I have become several times a champion of the world in this sport and I have been silver medalist in team contest.  We have become second-place winners in 2002 at the European championship.

In 2003 I set a world record in Atlas stones with 232.5 kg stone on the stand of 130 cm.  To prove that I am clean, and that I don’t use any performance enhancing drugs I have asked for a steroid test right after the contest.  Certainly the results were negative.
To prove a point of training and competing clean, without any medication I have tested myself several times a year.  It happened several times however that I had become second to athletes with obvious signs of forbidden relationships to steroids.

During my carrier as a sportsman it happened several times that athletes spoke about what they are taking in order to become stronger.  They also advised me what should I be taking in order to become even stronger than I am, certainly I have never taking their advice. I’ve got all the information from them about where and how much these medications are, how wonderful I would feel after achieving awesome results. And of course I have never taking these advises, never even thought about trying anything besides food.  If I would have been competing in competitions where there are drug tested competitors, I would have been World Champion for at least 20 times since the beginning, from 1988.

The main reasons I have quit being a member of that federation is this.  They have been unable to guarantee the conditions to compete under clean circumstances.  The worse moment of my life as an athlete was the denial of the gold medal from my son and me in 2006 at the World Championship, we formed the Hungarian team!

In the year 2007 the Worlds Natural Strongman Federation was formed. All members of this federation are athletes claiming the same vision that I do; they all without any exception participate in all the drug testing. All I am especially pleased that all the athletes competing in this federation have better results than those of other organizations.
We are in good terms with several organizations of strongman from all over the world. All of these partners are especially happy to hear about athletes intending to train and compete without anything damaging to their health.
In 2007, 2008 and 2009 we have organized The World Championship of Strongest Man in Hungary. After each and every competition the organizers have checked the athletes for illegal substances. I am especially proud that even in these conditions, competing in contests where there hasn’t been any drug testing, I have achieved first place results and I have been twice World’s Strongest Man.

In 1994 and 1996 we have organized the World’s Strongest Man contest in Hungary, where the actual World champion and best athletes have competed. I have become first at these competitions.
It was a great pleasure that the world champion had the great words of recognition about me.  He told me that he was very pleased to finally meet me after hearing so much about me.  He would’ve never thought of that I am this strong.

I was very happy because he knew that I have never taken anything prohibited, and I have achieved this great result with a clean body!

EPILOGUE

Proud should be anybody who has spent nearly all his life being the ambassador of strength of a great nation. He has achieved World known results.  He should be proud that in his own country people want to overdo his results.

Honor and cleanness!

You should be proud as well that the largest part of his country’s population pays him respect and likes him because of his achievements.  He is also very disappointed that there are lots of on a invaluable people trying to make a statement by using his name.  Destiny has punished these people.  These people have never gained knowledge of the fact that there are naturally born strongmen and there are wannabes.

I am strong because I was born this way, proven by my age and cleanness!
