    true .... carl lewis tested positive shortly before the ben johnson scandel which handed him the gold.... i guess he was a much more neccesary star than johnson
    The thing is, steroids weren't illegal when both athletes took them. Maybe they were banned substances by Olympic standards, though.

    not in terms of general public usage you mean ? they were definatley illegal in sports....

    thing is the word 'steroid' covers so many different drugs... some are illegal some arent.... some stuff used to be illegal and now isnt... ripped fuel is one example i think

    there are also supplements used now that will probably one day turn out to be banned so hard to say what was and wasnt illegal at the time

    EPO, HGH, or some other designer steroid that doesn't stay in your blood for past 72 hours. Whatever. The specific substance doesn't matter.

    The most of important part of this thread, is to highlight the fact that using the drug during training will give you an unfair advantage on the fight night. It doesn't need to be in your system on fight night (or on other fixed date blood tests) to give you a seriously unfair advantage against a clean fighter.

    Olympic style random testing prevents this. I can't see why so many people are defending Manny for this. If the roles where reversed, and it was Floyd trying to prevent any possibility of being tested fairly, every fight forum on the internet would crash due to the number of people posting about it.

    Manny shouldn't be allowed to cheat, just because he has convinced the general public he is a humble likable guy.

    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    before this whole fiasco most of us are boxing fansf, some fanboys of any fighter and some just annoying. after mayweather sr. said pac was using PEDS some of us evolved from being boxing experts to steroid experts. how credible could loudmouth mayweather sr be besides the fact the he was busted for drug trafficking before?
