Drugs in boxing

[Dia bando]

With in a space of a week two fighters have proven positive for PHDs's , what makes it worse they were
fighters at the top of there game one current World champion and one former one.
I find it very hard for theses fighters to believe that pleading total ignorantness's, justified there the result
of a positive test.
When I watch boxing I want to see to fit natural boxer's fight, not Sted head induced fuck in idiots there
is a positive to boxers being tested if you cheat you will be caught.
I no I will upset a lot of you but the taking PHD's is rife in MMA, you only have to look at body mass there are many tell-tail signs, I don't want boxing to go the same way, Boxing is called the noble art let's hope it can be noble not full of cheat's.

You're wishing for a clean sport but will you like the results? A lot of your favourite athletes probably wouldn't have been as good without PED's and that's the harsh reality of it when you get to the elite level. The million dollar paydays or becoming fodder for the big boys? Which do you choose?

I mean look at the huge list of elite fighters that have been caught...

James Toney
Roy Jones Jr
Fernando Vargas
Andre Berto
Lamont Peterson
Shane Mosley
Evander Holyfield

the list goes on and on. Are we seriously still burying our head in the sand and expecting that MOST fighters are clean? It's crazy.

You're 100% correct.

Add to that list Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Omar Nino Romero. Boxing needs to be honest with itself and take the forefront with testing.

I don't live in La La land , but if these's tests are finding the cheats good I and other people don't want boxing to become sted head heaven. I never look at the World through rose tinted glasses, when
you see 350 pound monsters walking round and they tell you they are natural bollocks.
I know lot's of pro athletes Rugby players boxers wrestlers etc I'm under no illusions there is a saying
you can't bullshit a bullshitter my friend. When you get caught using Ped's your just cheating your self
and your fan's to boot, I no it's going on but I don't have to agree with it.

I know, I'm not saying you or anyone else has to like it or that anybody is wrong - In fact, most people don't like it obviously judging from the responses.

I'm just wondering whether you or anyone else would ACTUALLY like the sport cleaned up? I think you like the idea of it cleaned up like everybody does, but would that reduce the pace of fights? Would it reduce punching power? Would it mean fighters fight EVEN LESS often?? (Because you better believe that PED's help recovery) Would it mean your favourite fighters run out of gas early? Would it mean your favourite fighter would have never even existed and fallen short at world level?

Cleaning up the sport could be the very thing that goes ahead and kills it.

I'm not saying you're wrong or right..I don't even really know how I feel about the matter but it is definitely food for thought.

I get your point, the thing is taking Ped's you would still not have a level playing field, because you would have one man able to have ever Phd's available, that suit's his needs and the other not having
all Ped's.So what it come's down to fitness out of a bottle ok for some but not for me.

PEDs Dia

Short for - Performance Enhancing Drugs

They're rampant in all sports and easy to hide from boxing's extremely weak testing.
