Kid Galahad back on ggg v brook bill I hear...

This. Brutally.

 

Nope. Nowhere near harsh enough. Lifetime bans and records struck from history.

We need to send a message that drug use won't be tolerated in boxing. Considering some of the pretty nasty stuff you were suggesting about CEJ post Blackwell then I thought you'd agree.

 

His defence was terrible. "Oh, me and me brother fell out so he spiked me protein shake."

Remember, just because he got a reduction on the ban it doesn't mean that he wasn't guilty in the first place.

 

Len this isn't an accidental consumption of a ban substance from a protein bar. It was a family member putting steroids into this supplements. He got his punishment and his career has took a hit but don't justify what he done as a "first offence". It's a lot more serious than others and he should know what he is consuming

 

Interesting article would never have thought they would still help years later.

 

If you actually believe that story then God help you. Jesus...

And it is irrelevant if it was a minuscule amount in his system. For all we know he had only been using it for a week or two. Bottom line is he used winstrol clearly in order to make weight without losing strength. The entire Ingle camp is at it.

 

This is true. Also lets not forget how many careers theyve spoiled through there cheating and taking undeserved wins from opponents whose campaigns theyve put back.
It takes long enough as it is for fighters to get belts without having your cateer stalled because you got beaten by someone whos been caught for doping.
All the fighters kid beat on his record they wont get that time back that its taken em to get back up there.
If someone is found to be intentionaly doping especialy with meds like winny whrre you cant claim it came from an otc product, they should be banned for life

 

Theoretical, and hopefully it doesn't happen, but.......

What would happen if one of Galahad's opponents got seriously hurt?

There was a lot of finger pointing after Blackwell v Eubank - would it still be the opponent/trainer/referees fault? The Board would have some tough questions to answer - could they be held liable?

 

The onus is on the athlete to protect himself.only buy products from reliable sources
That rule is already in place and quite rightly. Otherwise its easy to claim you were spiked.
