    Probably Roid Jones Sr. back in the 70s but it was swept under the carpet just like it was when Jr. pee'd dirty.

    Interesting topic but I think your dissertation might suffer from lack of accuracy if you rely on info from here.... lol

    Big John "the Johnster" Johnson in 1648.

    He was caught mainlining Witches' blood to gain a strategic advantage over William "Large" Nelson, who in his previous bout had knocked out a horse.

    There are several articles if you just search for 'history of doping in sport' on Google Scholar. Doping has been a thing since ancient times, but was not illegal.

    Ali for the Holmes fight.

    Aaron Pryor against Arguello.

    Not saying those were the first ever.

    Nope, Rocky Balboa purchased a stock pile of Steroids and needles from Mejico to use on his training camp in Siberia, Drago was simply leveling the playing field. Apollo Creed taught Balboa how to use PED’s.
