He could have at least gone clean until he landed a big fight then taken some A side meth and hoped for no testing or something.

Steroids isn't a career ender, just a showtime commentating career ender.

Hah true, just he's already 35 and is basically a prospect, might have trouble bouncing back from this. It could be the case that he's been using something for most of his pro career as well, if he's under the microscope from now on and has to stop, you never know.

Good point. You are making me think of poor Overeem in UFC.
