Serious question about PED use in boxing?

If you found out Mike Perez was juicing for his fight against Abudusalamov, which gave him the extra strength and power the cause Magomed's injuries, how would it make you feel? :think

I ask because so many posters seemed OK to just accept that Shawn Porter might be juicing last week and called it as 'Brook fans looking for an excuse if Brook loses' and some disgraceful comments that 'Brook should get on them himself' :nono

When Paulie fought Porter, Paulie- normally a durable guy- commented that Porter "hurt him with every punch", with one looking at Porter's KO ratio should tell you Porter is no savage puncher, and along with that, Porter sudden increase in strength and stamina since working with Victor Conte should've raised red alarm bells and everyone should've been beating the drums for him to be thoroughly tested. Paulie, by the way, suffered a bleed on the brain in that fight, and had the fight gone on a little longer could've ended up like Magomed Abdusalamov. :twisted:

This isn't a bit of cycling or weight lifting folks. People's life's and long term health are at risk. Taking PEDs in the sport is boderline criminal in my view and stronger punishments need to be in place for those that are caught fighting dirty. You wouldn't accept loaded hand wraps to give the fighter an unnatural advantage, so why accept PED use? :-(

 

They don't even get a ban in most cases. Here would be my suggested punishment:

1. 18 month ban for caught users and any future fights they are involved in they are randomly drug tested if agreed in the contract or not- if caught again- lose boxing license permanently.

2. 'Once a cheat, always a cheat rule' once you are caught, all previous wins and draws should be changed to an NC, loses still stand. So for example, Berto would now be 0-3.

3. Absolute exemption from the Hall of Fame, despite what you achieve in the rest of your career.

4. If found cheating in the post match tests, your entire purse needs to go to the fighter you just tried mame with PEDs in you.

 

I'd like to hear the take on this by fans of the likes of Roy Jones, Shane Mosley, James Toney and anyone else who has been caught fighting dirty.

 

:good I wouldn't say I have 'no issue' in other sports but in combat sport I would be all for proven drug cheats to even have to do prison time under trying to commit aggravated assault.

 

A lot of people can have testosterone levels up to 4 times as much. I myself do, and turned up in previous medicals I've had, and i've never taken roids. It's not uncommon (unless it a tumor which I had to be tested for :-()

 

Unfortunately I think something like that will have to happen before people sit up and take notice that drug users are utter disgraces. :-(
