    Pretty shocking stuff no?

    Just one thing...the Rios fight was scheduled for the start of 2012 but the article talks about 2009/2010.

    The concept of gamboa as a superstar is somehow more shocking than seeing he's on the roids.

    It's not shocking in the slightest. The sport is rife with steroids, I'd be surprised if any top fighter is actually clean.

    Is this a definite fact then? Shame if it is, he was/is one of my favourite fighters.

    More top level sportsman are juicing than aren't in my opinion.

    PED's should be legal anyway.

    So bouts cam be decided by who's got access to PEDS? What a great sport that'll be.

    How is it any different to bouts being decided by who has access to better coaching or better nutrition like it is now?

    Because it violates the spirit of competition.
