Dan Rafael says Berto has been tested positive for steriods?

[Althugz]

they aren't really risking their careers cause they're all on steroids or some performance enhancers!!!

Exactly

I really hope this is not true. Call me an old romantic.

You're not an old romantic. You're just not a jaded, cynical person. Neither am I.
Personally, I'm not into generalities... they're usually wrong.

Once you are actually inside the boxing scene, you see and hear some fucked up shit. It's not cynical at all - could be said it's just not being delusional. But hey I can concede that there may be the odd 1 or 2 elite that aren't using but one thing I can guarantee is they're few and far between.

I agree, Althugz. It's completely widespread. In fact, probably the majority are using for sure. Still, I'd like to hang on to the belief that there are those elite few, like you said, who don't use anything. I think two of them fought on May 5th, in fact.

Peterson and Berto both positive for Steroids


Are those the Standard commission tests?


or Special tests from private groups?

I am cynical and jaded and I'm normally the first person to say most boxers are on something -- I didn't believe pacquaio and his fear of needles for instance -- but I don't think berto did this deliberately. It's just come out that the amount in his system was absolutely tiny and consistent with him injesting it via some contaminated supplement that he was taking. Lots of athletes have tested positive for nandrolone in tiny quantities due to them taking contaminated supplements. And nandrolone is the last thing you would take if you're juicing as it stays in the body for eighteen months. I just think it's an unfortunate accident and that Berto is a clean athlete.
