    Depressing as it is, they're all at it aren't they? To varying degrees. Some get caught, some don't. Most deny it.

    Every single fighter has been on gear since Ali's era. It always makes me laugh when people play the holier than thou card when some bloke fails a test. Nobody cared when the likes of technicality limited George Foreman went in no time, from a a street thug to putting on a pair of gloves and juicing and suddenly becoming a big puffy D-Bol and test wrecking machine as he leap frogged to the elite level of the sport.

    Why? You would be an absolute mug if you decided you wanted to be a professional boxer and not take gear. Stay in the amateurs if that's your mindset. People watch pro boxing at a high level to see elite performances from men built like Greek statues pulling off super human feats. If you can't deliver that then you're in the wrong profession.

    100% all boxers are not on gear that's a very untrue and offensive statement

    Fair play to Frank, this is how you should handle it, confirmed it's multiple substances. Also - good on the interviewer, very direct questions.

    To tell the truth I see modern boxing fans who spew that the majority of boxers aren’t juiced up out of their minds the exact same way as their WWF counter parts who think the same. Sure Hulk Hogan said he takes his vitamins and sleeps well to reach his level. Loooool

    The whole system is broken.

    They might not have tested positive but we can all point to fighters especially from eastern bloc countries that almost certainly are cheating especially those that train in dagestan.

    Reality is unless we have year round testing, after fight bloods and a bloodwork passport that follows people around we will never know whose cheating.

    The problem is it's now just a competition of staying ahead of the testers. In 1998 after the world cup where players were openly having injections from a french dr pre matches all the samples were destroyed and that's still going on today even more so at the top level.

    Then you've the "italy" scenario 2020 and 2021 where a country that had zero testing for almost 2 years because of the labour capacity all of a sudden went on to be world beaters at almost every sporting event for 2 years then fell off a cliff.

    It all stinks.

    Yeah, Cycling with the biological passports is the best system, and even then the doping organisations can still get around it

    That's just not true..I've known loads of fighters on the British scene and I can say that most I've known aren't on gear.

    I know that Enzo Calzaghe trained 3 world champions without any gear or cheating in his Newbridge gym.

    Old school hard graft training and shrewd boxing tactics result in boxing achievements 1000 times more pleasurable compared to the cheating PED scumbags.

    Would also bet proper boxing men and trainers for example Billy Nelson and Arnie would never be associated with cheats.

    They're all on gear. Espeically fellas like Froch who constantly makes a big fuss about 'drug cheats' all the time. I remember one time on Sky Sports he went on a big rant about some fella failing a test even though he was literally standing mext to Anothy Joshua. :roflmao:You couldn't make it up. It's all a big dog and pony show. It's nonsense. Don't forget Tyson Fury went on the exact same way about the horrors and evil of taking gear before he got caught himself.

    Tbh the 1% who don't take gear are complete mugs and don't belong in pro boxing.
