    I think it will taint his legacy... He is a professional and doing things like that is cheating.. What if something wrong happen to Goldie on that fight... Boxers are pro they should act like one... fighters lives are on the line when they step into the squared circle and fight.

    This case has been ongoing for years.

    Shane initially admitted to affiliations with the company Balco.
    This company is famed with steroid users such as Marion Jones....Mosley claimed that he requested supplements that would allow him to gain size and strength, but specifically refused steroids.

    He did however, admit to injecting the "supplements" that Balco provided him with and said he himself suspected later they were steroids.




    Although I do have a soft spot for my man Shane, I have to say that if they fought at LightweightShane kills ODLH.
    The only reasons he had to take these "supplements" was beause DLH was at Welter and wouldn't facilitate a Shane fight at 140, so Shane had to mkae the unnatural jump to 147

    IMO, yes. How is it any different to Tim Montgomery or Marion Jones? Their careers were only possible through the use of drugs. It raises the question, what fights would Mosley have lost if he wasn't using? In reality he could be no better a fighter than somebody like Collazo.

    I know, but it is news that the WBC is looking into it, I guess.

    The fight in question was actually at 154, but I guess that only makes your point stronger. But the fact that Shane might not have needed them at any lower weight, doesnt make it ok, right? If he were not capable of fighting at a higher weight without cheating, he should have just refrained.

    I'd like to know which boxers have and haven't been taking performance enhancing stuff during their careers. The list of those that haven't I'm sure is much smaller than those who have.

    I am in agreement here, I think it's extremely common. Why would boxing be any different than all the other sports?

    And you are extremely naive if you think it's not rampant at the top level of all sports.
