It would not be possible to perform the level of training required for elite competition these days for most boxers without drugs. Sickness, injury, fatigue and a degradation of muscle tissue would result.
I do agree with short bans and I do agree with testing of course. I am not preaching that drugs are good for the sport but they are a fact of life now and you can't have an array of top boxers careers terminated because they didn't beat the test and others who did remain.
Yeah that's all true, I know people would be absolutely shocked if they knew all the boxers who have or are using some type of PED.
Most fans like to live in the fantasy world that it doesn't happen, or only "bad guys" do it. It's a big problem in all competitive sports and has been for quite a while.
