I don't think its fair to throw the fighter under the bus when imo many of the promoters know full well whats going on and no doubt also the governing leeches. In addition these conditioning coaches that have fighters take the B12 shot in the ass for certain periods of time. It may sound naive but based on the intelligent quotient of some of these fighters, I'd be willing to bet many do not even know whats being injected.
