Does anyone else think we should just legalize steroids

I don't support the legalization of steroids but I do believe some of the changes are reversed when steroid use stops. Barry Bonds no longer has the swollen head he played with his last few years in the majors.

 

No. Thank god tards like you are not in control of the commissions.

 

Yeah let's start an arms race in which boxers seek out new better ways to dope, that'd be great. Absolutely ludicrous idea. We'd never know who was truly the best, it'd be like F1 where the 'engineers' are the real talent behind the scenes. Also, we all love boxing but we should also all hope no one gets seriously hurt. Giving people unnatural strength would no doubt have long term health implications for fighters just because the level of punishment they were giving out would significantly increase. Some fighters have loaded their gloves in matches, should we let all fighters load their gloves and not bother checking? It's the same difference- allow everyone to cheat because we can't be bothered to enforce any rules seems to be your attitude. Enough salient points for you?

 

Legalize **** please.

 

No. Why not take the stuffing out of gloves to increase hand speed and power, too?

Supplements and steroids aren't magic, anyway, but this is not like a "natural" test booster, this stuff is instantly flooding the body with 10 to even 100s of time the normal levels on a molecular level - the human body was simply not meant to be in balance with that, and there is a reason bodybuilders and WWE have such a high young mortality rate.

I would rather have stricter enforcement than endanger the lives of my heroes.

 

Quote below my comment ?:huh What are you talking about ?

 

:deal

Also, we know the all mighty dollar rules, but we should be unforgiving to fighters who use and abuse performance enhancement drugs in any way, shape or form. This is the hurt business, this is not swinging a bat at a baseball, this is a sport were only the strong survive.

Fighters careers are cut short due to vicious beatings, these administered beatings should not be a product of performance enhancement drugs.

 

There are side effects even for people who are being treated and doctors let their patients know the side effects so patients can decide if it's worth taking the drugs. Sometimes they are only given because the benefits outweigh the costs. That doesn't mean people would want the negative side effects if it was possible to avoid.

The main problem is still inequity. If anything we need one commision standardizing training, salaries, health care benefits, glove brands/sizes, ring sizes, weight classes, rankings, tournaments, and championships. One belt per weight class and back to regular cable.

 

Erm no. What are you saying to the public by doing this?

At some point we lost a founding principle of sport which is FAIR PLAY, this has been forgotten, I am not stating there has never been cheating that would be stupid, however the driving force behind this is too much money in sport making people take risks with there health.

I know younger people will just look at the short term gain of looking ripped, the fact of the matter is people DIE prematurely. I have lost count of young athletes dying of heart attacks in there early 20's and countless problems later in life. There is always a cost to doing **** your body was not designed to do.

I would also add that the increase in this **** has actually decreased the skill set of many modern fighters. With the focus on physique rather than technique we have guys that look good in there underwear, but these ****ers gass after a few rounds and clowns on here trying to tell me that fighters are better/stronger today.

No, they LOOK better than fighter from the past, the reality is other than people like Floyd and guys at the low weights I doubt any fighters today could do a 15 round fight.

I do find a lot of Americans have a casual attitude as it is in nearly all there sporting institutions, with the cop out excuse that everyone is doing it.

This is ****ing horse **** spouted by people UNABLE to think for themselves, in a deluded corrupt system.

I have moved away from following a lot of sports because this **** is as real as WWE.

I still love a good fight though despite this ****, I just don't follow it as much.

 

when is a supliment a supliment and not a PED? who chooses the line? Plus not all athletes have access to the same level of training facilities, suppliments, training partners, etc. At the moment some athletes are getting tested and others arre not and the tests are different also.

New PEDS are being created all the time and only the richest athletes have access to them at the moment. I say either make it mandatory that every athlete has to take a test for every fight - and the same test or make it easier and just legalize everything!!!

 

Worst idea ever, and a terrible example for kids.
