Poll: Where do you stand on PEDs in boxing ?

Taking steroids is not normal
Taking steroids make you a loser

 

Reading the thread I see more people seem to be Pro-Steroid/PED than those opposed.
It's just my opinion, but acceptance of artificial enhancements seems to be connected to the level of integrity and morality of the person, but that's just me and the way I was raised.
IMH, it's like lying and stealing, or cursing in-front of one's mother.

I'm 97 years old and the world has changed.
Genetic manipulation is an abomination. If it weren't, there wouldn't be so many unpredicted side-effects. Best to live life the way God planned then to become demonic.

 

Totally agree 100% cause re morality what gets me is how the big sports companies who sponsor em know what's going on but at the first whiff of a scandal they throw their athletes under the bus as do their fellow athletes but it's all for public show which truly shows something about their morality I think.
I'm not pro PEDs but when I say the athletes themselves don't view it as cheating I'm not condoning it just stating a fact.
The dangers in boxing with PEDs make it particularly shady

 

Jack Johnson didn't use PEDs.
Joe Louis didn't use PEDs.
Sugar Ray Robinson didn't use PEDs.
Jake Lamotta didn't use PEDs.
Muhammed Ali didn't use PEDs.
George Foreman didn't use PEDs.
Larry Holmes didn't use PEDs.
Sugar Ray Leonard didn't use PEDs.
Marvin Hagler didn't use PEDs.
Lennox Lewis didn't use PEDs.

Draco. He used PEDs.
Vitali Klitscho. He used PEDs.

 

None of those fighters you mentioned underwent WADA caliber drug testing. They didnt start testing for steroids till the 80's, and in boxing till the 90's.

 

There were rumours Ray juiced for the Hearns rematch.

 

its not political, it improves blood flow in the heart. improving blood flow in the heart is not political. except perhaps to you.

I cant understand how you can be so badly, oppositely flawed in your judgement. I find Cheatapova utterly repellant, as I do anyone who sanctifies such a person or champions cheating. She makes me puke, can we move on or I might actually do this? Thank goodness her putrific face has been removed from advertising boards for the future so that young children are not exposed to her "be a bytch" advertising slogans.

How utterly terrible that the last Winter Olympics were opened by a drug cheat. Russia should be ashamed and distance themselves from her as far as possible, as should any moral person.

 

36 people are obviously morons, let people who punch each other for a living increase the potency of their weapons hmmm good idea ..... Zero tolerance is the only way.

 

that you judge female athletes almost solely on looks, like peices of meat dressed up for your se.xual needs is pretty shocking. You are lucky few women use this board or you'd be torn apart for that.

 

Boxers aren't the brightest bunch as a general rule, I can easily see youngsters being misled and not really understanding the implications of what they are putting in their bodies. For first time offenders under a certain age I'd go with a 2 year ban, after that it's life.
