This writer makes sense :good SIX TELL-TALE SIGNS A BOXER IS ON PEDS By Maverick Fantana: Recently boxing has been shook to its boots by allegations which have often been backed up with test results that some of its participants are using PEDs. Of course this is not acceptable, especially in a sport with such Christian morals (Thou shalt not low blow). Fans have been asking questions, questions that need answers sooner rather than later. It is an area not many want to delve into but they must if they want to find the truth. I think this comes down to two real reasons.. The first reason is no one wants to find out that their favourite fighter is on PEDs because they think it is cheating. The second reason is they dont know enough information about PEDs to fully understand the implications. As a real man, such as myself, with mightily strong and big arms (11.9 inch biceps) I can shed light into the matter where other people cant, in a non-gay way. Much like the main psychopathy reference list created by Ben Hare I have formulated a simple list which can be used to determine whether or not a fighter is taking PEDs. This list took extensive research; a lot of it was done via internet discussion groups where the information gathered was used to formulate the majority of the list. You may at first believe a list is a waste of time and that only urine or blood tests are going to prove anything but this would be the wrong attitude. Urine and blood tests fall short because they can provide false positives. It is a known fact that unless they are searching for particular substances in the blood and **** they will go undetected. This basically makes the urine and blood tests worthless, unless you have a fetish for playing with either blood or urine. But a list can be used anytime, anywhere, from the comfort of your own sofa as you watch boxing on the Television. So learn the list and use it to impress your friends with in-depth knowledge about how you can tell whether a fighter is on PEDS. 1) NOT BORN IN THE USA If the fighter isnt from America there is likely a strong case to be made against them for being on PEDs because as we all know only the very best fighters come from America. I have watched a lot of interviews where the disputed pound for pound king, Floyd Mayweather Jr, talks about PEDs and who he suspects is using them. It seems that Floyd believes if someone is from outside of America they are probably on PEDs. The reasons for this are largely unknown, but its probably because in other countrys they have got all that good **** as Floyd Mayweather Sr once said. Usually I wouldnt take stock in what a convicted woman beating criminal says, they are prone to lying and being dickheads, but in this case I think they are valid points and we all make mistakes. Heck, even my favourite president George Bush Jr was wrong at least once (man and fish cannot co-exist peacefully, it seems). 2) Fighter looks in shape Make no mistake about it, if a fighter looks in shape there is a major chance they are on PEDs. It is extremely difficult for anyone to have a shredded six-pack if they are not using PEDs. Things such as intensive training, calorie deficits and determination are not going to be enough to get you that extra lean look unless you are genetically superior (like me for example). A lot of these professional fighters may well have been training for years and years and years, but this may just mean they have been using PEDs for years and years and years. In fact as a rule of thumb it most definitely does. 3) He put a bit of weight on If a fighter has gone from 140 to 147 pounds increasing their bodyweight by 5% we have to ask, how? PEDs. No doubt about it, in pretty much all circumstances its PEDs. It seems physically impossible to be able to put on seven pounds of weight in any amount of time unless you are using PEDs or eating McDonalds. Forget about glycogen levels and the fact the body is almost entirely made up of water (at least 70%), PEDs are a likely cause of weight gain. In fact when you are on PEDs you dont need to have a calorie surplus because PEDs just magically makes you buff and ****. 4) They refuse intrusive and obscure non mandatory blood test This is perhaps the most controversial of all in the lists. Whilst on its own it is not a clear definite factor for being on PEDs, it is more than likely. Some say what happened to the innocent before being proven guilty motto, my response is this that motto is dead. We have learned that if you wont allow some unlawful searches of your private property by authorities who need to go through all your personal belongings than you are more than likely a terrorist. Likewise if you dont submit to random blood tests which are not mandatory then you are likely a drugs cheat. There, I said it. 5) Photographic evidence of head size gain There are many reasons why someones head may grow in size beyond what is deemed socially acceptable but to know the answers to that you would have to ask someone with a big fat head, like Steve Bruce. What we are looking at here are indicators of dramatic changes in the size of the skull, or even subtle ones. Now, these photographs do not need to be in anyway shape or form similar to each other, all we need is the same person(s) to directly compare. Forget about distance, lighting, clear photoshopping, these are irrelevant when matched up with the other four points listed above. It doesnt even matter if their hair style has changed, because we can always speculate as to whether or not the hair has grown due to PED use. It has. 6) They punch hard and fast Ever been punched hard, and repeatedly, by someone so fast you didnt even see the punches that were being thrown? If so, you either got a good clobbering whilst having a few too many or you were the victim of a PED induced rage attack. Whilst the occasional forum thread gets opened by people who state they want to punch me I bet these people are not on PEDs so I have nothing to worry about. If they were on PEDs however their punches are suddenly on average twelve times more likely to hurt, a lot. I gathered this information from Floyd Mayweather who stated I cant fight him if he might be on PEDs, I could get hurt. Obviously in any other fight where someone isnt on PEDs there is no chance of Floyd getting hurt. Good job the mother of his children isnt on PEDs. IN CLOSING A lot of the above is subjective and this may seem unfair, but life isnt fair and neither is taking PEDs. It is better to completely ruin an innocent fighters career and harm the sport of boxing as a whole by mindlessly accusing them of PED use for their God given talents then it is to let someone gain super powers taking PEDs who might out point someone or force a premature stoppage. Truthfully PEDs should be mandatory, hopefully then we would get some exciting match ups rather than the boring rubbish we are often subjected to.

i just saw this on the front page, that is hilarious, especailly the head size and steve bruce look at his book biography on amazon lol
As someone else has said, this is a joke of a satire. Isn't it obvious the guy is a nut hugger? Look at all the cheats who were suspected of PEDs. Bonds, Armstrong, McGwire ... NOT BORN IN THE USA? Far from it. Nice try. Stop sucking Manny's balls already.
u know what? in 50% of the time a fighter looks ing good shape, he is fighting at 70% because the reason he looks ripped is because of the weight shredding and dehydrathing. many boxers today looses even up to 25 pounds to reach their lowest weight, witch i find stupid and unprofessional. i get thath fighters think thei have an avantage in dropping down 20 pounds and then rehydrate 15-25 pounds after weightin. when a person looses thath mutch weight he should be able to fight 4-5rounds and the hel be totally gassed, but if u loose 20 pounds and still can punch without getting tired after 5-6 rounds,thaths when u can tell if a fighter is on steroid or not. i dont care what people say. even if u eat 100% correct and healty food, your body is not gonna have energy when dropping down thath mutch weight on a period of 1-2 months training camp. what makes the boxers so ripped is because they push it so low in weight thath they have no fat. and what happens when the body is so low in fat, it stops removng fat,and starts loosing muscles instead,and thaths what gets fighters knocked out.
