Anybody 36 And Over And Still Performing At A Higher Level Are Suspicious

Drugs are getting more potent. Just look at the PED users of Arnolds era compared to today where many guys are walking around like miniature hulks.

Hell, look at Shannon Briggs.

 

Rofl you think Floyd is @ his prime he's been on a steady decline for years.

 

No doubt, because most athletes decline in their 30's, depending on the sport. Pac still looked good against Bradley too. Fury looks 40 so we'll lump him in too.

 

This. I feel like he looked like **** in every fight post-Canelo.

 

You guys are fools if you think there's any champ who doesn't use PEDs. Getting all worked up about one or the other boxer testing positive is the ultimate exercise in futility and ignorance.

 

This is besides the point. Expose all of them, shame them, fine and ban them. The sport is dead when everyone is allowed to juice without limitations and to even compete everyone has to be on crazy roid regiments to keep up with the crazy juicers, it's far beyond the sport of boxing then.

 

Archie Moore would like a word with you.

 

atsch The sport has been dead a long time then Just imagine how poor or non existent drug testing was back in the day, everybody prior to 2011 was probably on some overdose of anabolic steroids And before steroids were invented they were probably using pain killers or some other substance to mask the pain or give them energy.

 

Didn't you know Mirko that back in the good old days, back when fighters where great they were clean athletes.

I mean just look at Evan Fields or Lennox Lewis's body transformation after his loss to McCall....natural I tell you.

 

Heck I was roided to the gills when I fought in Pride FC, but so was everybody else There were no drug tests for Pride FC, the Japanese loved seeing juiced up foreigners compete at the highest level :rofl But we all know athletes do not take PED's, they take Flinstone vitamins :!:

 

LMAO very true my friend

 

I wish you could just make a simple comparison like that, like the world was black and white, but it ain't. Look at the bodybuilders in Arnold's time compared to now.

And again, the point is going over you head, steroids and cheating needs to be shamed and fined, regardless of who you think is juicing.

How do you see the sport looking if all PED's were suddenly legal?

 

PED's have gotten much more effective, also better nutrition and living standards makes todays athletes much more powerful and muscular :deal

I agree, the sport should be hypocritically clean :thumbsup

Athletes use a variety of PED's today, despite them being banned, so it would be the exact same thing if PED's were all made legal. But at least they wont overdose :shock:

 

There's no way to regulate PEDs as long as money plays such a major motivational role in sport. All that ends up happening is the athletes backed by the most money (who can afford the best doctors) get more of an advantage over the athletes who can't afford to dodge the testing. All it does is further consolidate power in the hands of dodgy monied interests and make it impossible for boxers to be indendent of the Haymons and Sauerlands unless they amass alot of capital like K2.

If we want to regulate PEDs in a sustainable way, then we'd have to change the entire incentive structure of the sport. We would have to set it up as a league where all boxers get the same salary and the competition is about fame and honor (although athletes wouldn't be allowed to leverage their fame for advertising etc, but instead those profits would benefit all the boxers equally). As long as money plays such a major role, then the incentive to risk PED use will be too inviting to pass up.

Absent such extreme measures (which would need to be tied to a move away from capitalism towards socialism), I'd prefer legalization to the current testing farce.

 

Is it worth sacrificing your nuts?

That should be a massive deterrent to not roid.

I guess not though.
