I put the undecided in coz I dont know 100% what I belive my self.
I think what a lot of people dont realise is when you are 100% dedicated what you can acomplish.Dont forget Evaneder has been dedicating his body mind and soul to being the world champ since he was 8 years old.
Most people cant stick to a diet or quit smoking or give up drink for more than a week or so but he is 100% dedicated,most dont even understand what it is to take it to that level.
I reckon he probably has but he's one of my hero's so I voted no. If he can convince himself that he hasn't then I can convince myself he hasn't too.
To be honest what's important to me is not the actual truth but what Evander says.
As long as he swears he's innocent then he can join Lance Armstrong, Michael Jackson and O J Simpson.
All innocent in my book
Ive gone with the undecided too but what you said does make me think. Being 100% dedicated and all. Would that not include doing everything it takes to be at your absolute best .......... and if everything it takes means using steroids ...........Quote:

I assume that a significant percentage of athletes in all sports use some form of banned performance-enhancing substance.
Athletes will do anything to get an edge. If Holyfield did use a banned substance, he won't be the first and he'll hardly be the last. I'm sure he fought opponents during his career that were using banned substances as well.
Personally, I don't care if athletes use steroids and/or HGH. I understand that there needs to be testing to make it look like it's wrong, and I know it's dangerous for kids to think using substances is necessary to succeed.
But I just accept steroids/HGH as something that will always be a part of sports. There's lots of money at stake, athletes are going to do whatever they need to do to be the best. It's just the way it is.
I don't care if Evander took something, and I don't care if he didn't either.
Nope I don't think he did
I dont know if you can change it now but I think it might be interesting if you were to add an 'I dont care' option to the poll. Just a thought.
