I guess I at least give him credit for admitting it, but I hope he comes out and now admits it on camera on 24/7 and apologizes. There's no excuse for this shit, this is a hurt sport.
I don't even know what it does to be honest, but really they could be injecting nanobots into their arms that turned them into actual terminators and if it made them destroyers in the ring who were exciting to watch I'd be all for it.

Same with sprinting. Let them take all the drugs they want, I want to see a sub 9 second world record!
The point is no one man should have an advantage over the other. But for me it ruins any sport when a man is not responsible for his own feats. Usain Bolt has revolutionised athletics by consistently proving he's legit.

EPO basically works by increasing the red blood cell count. This allows you to train longer and harder than your opponent, as well as increasing recovery times. All of this allows you to be that much more on point when you enter the ring.

So why is that banned? That sounds like a good thing? I would have thought the recommendation should be for everyone to take it. Why is that different from saying being able to hire the best trainer or the best sparring partner, or having access to the best facilities?

I don't get why some things are that improve a fighters performance are ok, like creatine, whereas another thing is wrong and illegal?

Is it an illegal drug outside of sport too, is that why?
