Plaster Vs. Steriods

[Onix]

Saying "cheating is cheating" is like saying "commiting a crime is commiting a crime". You wouldn't lump a shoplifter with a serial killer would ya?

Steroids are cheating, no doubt. But I think using an illegal object to cause more damage goes even beyond thats. Its absolutely criminal.

I am one of the people who is of the opinion that the large majority of top athletes are using performance inhancers, but that aside I think we can draw a clear distinction between steroids (which can be used to heal up a nagging injury) and doctoring your gloves.

Ask Barry Bonds, Mark Mcguire, Jose Canseco, Lyle Alsado (spelled wrong) Arnold Shwarzenegger (spelled wrong)

If all they do is help nagging injuries. I agree with you you cant lump up all offenders and put them in one catagory. But, a cheater calling out a cheater? If I had cheated and then caught someone else cheating I would make sure the tables are equal come time for competition (which they were) then stay out of it and let the officials decide the others fate.

Never said that "healing nagging injuries" was the only use for steroids. I just think there is a clear distinction between using banned substances to enhance your body and taking a foreign object into the ring with you.

Also, on the subject of a "cheater calling out a cheater", I have yet to hear Mosley himself call Marg out on it! So far its been only Nazim, the press, and fans (like me) who are disappointed and upset that one of boxing's toughest, hardest working fighter would do such a dispicable thing.
