Thread: Longer bans for doping cheats

BBC Sport - Minimum ban for doping increased from two years to four

4 years is very long if you get caught, career ending no doubt

All proven abusers should receive a lifetime ban That would fix the problem if the testing is done independently

People make mistakes and learn from it though, a longer ban is a good deterrent I think.

I'd support a longer ban but some of the culprits seem to get it swept under the carpet Guillermo Jones, Toney fought 6 months after the Ruiz fight etc

Shorter bans for tax cheats

Jon Jones who's supposed to be the best UFC fighter and their p4p #1 tested positive for cocaine a couple weeks before hes fight last month and was not punished at all and was still allowed to fight.

Looks a little window dressing like. Like to know how they plan on instituting to enforce. There are only about 3 labs in the world capable.

I suppose the threat of being busted somewhere down the road and losing all might be deterrent enough should they impose real random testing.

Nothing like winning a couple of world titles only to have test come back over a year late proving you were hot when you won them.

That kind of shame is off the charts.
