Why does Vitali get a pass despite being a proven drugs cheat?

I just couldn't get behind a fighter who would take an illegal substance to increase their strength in order to punch another man in the face. In my eyes it's despicable, reveals a lot about the character of a person and shows their true moral fibre.

In my eyes, if he's capable of doing it once then he's capable of doing it again - he clearly couldn't be trusted the first time round, so why should he be trusted again?

I think if you're caught taking PEDs then you should be banned from life. Vitali should be written out of the history books, as should other fighters who have cheated.

I started this thread to provoke a genuine discussion, and to find out why this man is respected despite proving himself to be a scumbag of the lowest order. However, I expect that instead we'll just see his fans rabidly defending their guy, offering up the same pathetic excuses that all athletes resort to when they get busted.

I don't want to hear excuses from his fans, he is a proven cheat - no amount of pathetic 'yeah, buts . . .' are going to change that. What I want to know is how can you support such a disgraceful cheater.

EDIT: I've just been looking at some pictures of Vitali, and it's pretty clear to me that his head has grown in size - particularly around the time of his retirement and comeback.

 

No Sunday dinner yet?!!! What time is it there?

 

In before a Klit fan says it was a medical treatment for an injury & not performance enhancing.

Failed. Steroid. Test.

 

18.15 - i'm going to have to start putting my foot down in a minute. That or call in a pizza . . .

 

how far ****ing back do you want to go in the guys life? when presidents of the u.s. admit to smoking pot in college and still get elected , someone who tests positive for something that could have been used in healing an injury as an injury 20 years ago as an amateur? .... guess my old man was a dirty cheat when they steroided him up for his cancer treatment

 

Feeble attempt at defending your guy:

Was the president smoking pot in order to get in the ring and inflict physical damage to another person?

I'm not going to comment on your father because it would be distasteful, but it's an equally poor analogy.

 

He really went there with his dad

 

Shut up you disgraceful nuthugger.

 

****ing ridiculous eh???

Are there any lengths they fanboys won't sink to.

 

An Alien sentence is not complete until it has one of two obligatory words: None or Nuthugger

 

You try telling me his head hasn't gotten bigger:

What substance was found? And what effect did it have?

 

Why do Roy Jones Jr, James Toney, Evander Holyfield, etc?

 

The Brittard butthurt Sunday!

Too much anger my lad.
Brittards soul very hurts by KLITs winning :|

No Champions in Britardistan :| NONE :-(

 

I don't know too much about this Vitali steroid thing. When and why did he use them?

And if we're mentioning Vitali, shouldn't we throw in Evander, Roy Jones, Toney, Vargas, Mosley, etc, in too? What's the story behind theirs?
