Steroids in boxing.

You have to remember that boxers walk around alot heavier than when they fight, they loose weight for the fight and then dry up for the weigh in.

Yeh but i doubt he walks round anywhere near 30 pound heavier. But i see your point.

Why are they testing for weed in the first place? That is retarded--spend those resources testing for performance enhancers--it's totally irrelevant what other drugs anyone has in his system (except to the extent it might actually *hurt* his chances of performing).

The fact that the drug is illegal and this is a proffesional sport that is watched by millions of people, and alot of these guys and especially Mike Tyson is looked upon as a guy people look upto and see as his idol.

They do drug testing that will bring up whatever drug you have in your system, you cant go taking illegal drugs no matter what your opinion is on Cannabis is, and expect to get away with it if your in a proffesional sport.

Mike Tyson is looked upon as an idol? I think the whole rape thing (or the being crazy and biting people thing--take your pick)messes up the idolotry a lot more than smoking a joint.
