    Okay, I'll humor you.

    1) From a fan's perspective, why would you want drugs to be not only legal but encouraged? This is a sport. We watch boxers who train hard all their lives and fight their heart out in the ring. You want to diminish that with who has the best peds. Boxing is the sweet science and we should praise the effort, determination and skill of fighters, not a pharmaceutical company.

    2) Let's pretend we live in the real world for a second. Boxing is a niche sport. There are a lot more people that want it banned than those who don't. How many top sports have an open drugs policy? NFL? NBA? If Boxing is turned into a sham doping bloodsport, I don't think it'll be around for much longer.

    3) Peds have all kinds of medical problems. Boxers will damage themselves in the long run. But that's if they make it that far. Faster, harder punches combined with much improved stamina and ability to take punishment means a lot more shots to the head and a lot more brain damaged boxers.


    Honestly, how can you call yourself a boxing fan and call out for 'peds for all'.
    Kill yourself.

    There are not new drugs coming out all the time.

    Synthetic terstosterone and dianabol have been around since the 1950s

    It seems masking the drugs ala Mosley was something new however at the end of the day it was good old EPO which btw is not a steroid

    A steroid is a synthetic version of something your body produces naturally, like testosterone.

    The birth control pill is also a steroid.

    You'll never hear me debate that what er need is one commission. Steroids are given for so many diseases why then is it wrong for healthy people to take them?

    A good example is Anavar, the hardening steroid.

    Anavar was for people with osteoperosis, as it can strenghten bones, now however it is only legally made in the states,

    by that I mean given on perscription.

    These drugs are not death in a bottle ffs If our growth hormones levels were the same as when we were all 18 years old we would live much longer.

    You can purchase all of these drugs legally in Mexico , egypt etc right over the counter.

    First you say it should be fair play which would be taken care of if it was legal, then you go on to say that fighters don't even benefit from them, so why are you opposed?

    It's estimated between .5-1% of the American population use anabolic steroids, only anabolic mind you, show me a year on record where even 10 people died and ill show you a faulty statistic.

    No because we dont want our best athletes to be the ones with the best PED program, or the ones who respond more efficiently to the drugs.

    Apparently its a big deal if a sports person takes some testosterone for short periods and all types of health risks are brought up.

    At the same time if a woman wants a sex change they put her on testostrone all her life - no cycling off

    When Bush got anabolic steroids banned all the doctors that they hired to prove how deadly they were- DISAGREED

    still got banned though

    No, I think a lifetime ban should be introduced for anyone who pisses hot even once. If a fighter could lose his career that quickly and that permanently, he probably wouldn't ever **** around with it.

    1. Anyone who thinks that the guy with the best ped wins is an idiot. If you don't work hard everyday of your life towards your goal you'll never make it. Thinking the drug makes the man is not a strong argument.

    2. I'm not talking about just legalizing steroids in boxing but all over. If you think that in the future people won't be in to steroids you're wrong. People will gene dope and blood dope its going to happen, all we're doing is practicing prohibition against a wonder drug people will look back on us and laugh

    3. This ped medical problem stuff is bull**** every drug has side effect steroids do not kill anybody

    4. You should try making a point actually based on evidence and not just repeating arguments you've already heard because they sound nice. Also **** you for questioning my loyalty to this sport you don't know a thing about me and are just a jackass for insinuating something you clearly know nothing about
