Being scientific is not being stupid. Study and read more. Floyd is correct. The Random Olympic Style Drug Testing is the only solution to cheats like this. Sorry BHops, but no props to you for this one. :good
If Bernard goes to Heavyweight and knocks out Vitali then I'd say he's on PED's but I do believe all fighters should be subjected to random blood test.
Hopkins takes extremely good care of himself. And like Floyd he also conserves a considerable amount of energy during fights. I wouldn't get suspicious of him unless he suddenly started knocking out heavyweights, while eating 7000 calories a day and maintaining his 28 inch waist, and then denying requests for blood lol.
Tests don't always work. Yes they have been successful but not 100% of the times. It's sad to think so but we really don't know how many athletes have taken or still take doping drugs. People will try to break the rules anyway they can and I feel that drugs will continue to become harder to detect.
Takes extremely good care of himself my ass Hopkins needs random Olympic Drug Testing to prove he is drug free. My God he is not 35years old! He is not even 40 years old! He is 46 years old going toe to toe with a twenty something contender! This has never happened in the history of the sport. It can only be attributed to PEDS use which we all know is proliferating in our beloved sport. Be fair and think the best for the sport and not like a fanboy. :good
Hopkins has looked like a shell of his younger self lately. It's just that he takes great care of himself, hasn't taken too many shots, trains year round, and it doesn't hurt that Pascal (and most fighters at lhw) are mediocre and poor enough for an old crafty vet to take advantage of. He's not ripped like a bodybuilder either...and even if he was, that doesn't indicate steroid use.
if you think there arnt then you are naive, cycling is on of the biggest doping cheat sport and they have outrageous testing. But people still get a way with it. Have you ever heard of something called a masking agent, well this is what is used to disguise banned drugs and not all of them are on the list they test for. So people in many sports are getting away with doping. Aside from this, I dont think Hopkins is on PEDs, he didnt look nearly as ripped as he did we he fought tarver.
