Thread: An interesting article on steroids

http://www.thering-online.com/ringpages/ringupdate.html


From the ring website. Ive been thinking along these lines for a while now.

As regards steroids, what tests and by whom a party with interests no doubt wheres the white paper from the medical council

Legalize them? It would never work!

Let me just refer to boxing in this situation

Boxers come from many countries around the world and fights are held in many countries around the world. It would need the whole world to give the legalisation of steroids the nod for that to work and I can never see that happening.

Steroids are bad for you in the long term and there are boxers who would NEVER take them. So what do we get then? We would have double the amount of weight divisions in boxing for a start (steroid welters and welters for example) because non users will not want to fight users of the drug for obvious reasons.

lets put it this way, if steriods became legalised then every kid would take them because they would want to be like their hero's...
Its a bad example for the kids

I love the Ring and read the Online colume every week, but I think this is stupidist colume the guy has ever written. If steroids were legal, then competition itself would necessitate everyone using them. It would be a race to the bottom.

Don't thing the guy was serious he was just trying to provoke a good arguement.

Nobody in the right mind would suggest that HGH or Steroids have a place in sport or should be misused .

Shame they are though .
