    Clenbuterol isn't ****.

    Yes, he should not have been allowed to fight. Big **** up there.

    He was given credit for the fashion of the knockout I believe. The fight shouldn't have happened, but I'm assuming it was a rematch clause somewhere?

    Clenbuterol (also called: Clen, SuperClen, Clenbuteroil) is not a steroid but it is widely used by bodybuilders and athletes. This drug helps you eliminate adipose tissues or excess fats due to its thermogenic property. Clen helps increase the metabolism of the body, and process the conversion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats into useful energy. This drug is known to boost muscle growth and suck out the excess fats caused by some aromatizing steroids

    Cheating is wrong....but EM has given the sport so much that his desperate efforts to extend his shelf life is almost "swept under the rug". It's painfully obvious EM has finally hit that wall all fighters hit at different stages of their careers, but Morales is beloved within this sport for a good reason. This **** stain on his career won't hurt his overall legacy....not to diminish his wrongful act in cheating....but most aren't going to over emphasize the negative vs the positive.

    Morales got no pass he was suspended for 2 years, a pass is a guy like Mosley or Peterson

    Now I don't go as far as calling him a disgrace. He broke the rules and got caught. My only issue is because so many said he's old now and it's ok because he's trying to hang on. I don't condone Tito hand wrapping at all. Bro Nazim called it out and they re wrapped.

    It's not about getting a pass, i'm a big a Morales fan as anyone on here but when the **** broke I made a thread about it saying how it was unnaceptable for any professional athlete to not know what they were putting in their bodies and Erik was the focus of said thread but i'm still a big a fan as I ever was of his despite what's happened.

    The problem is each fighter will be treated differently and people saying 'what if Judah failed the test' or 'what if Floyd failed the test' simply don't have a clue because Judah and Mayweather don't have close to the love and admiration Erik Morales has from the average fan that's why the perception of what he did is different and people are less harsh in their criticisms.

    And talking of Barrera

    Exactly, if you think about it Morales got punished worse then Toney did for failing multiple tests for actuals steroids nevermind Jones who got no punishment, or Peterson or Tarver or Mosley or Berto.

    This **** right here. Roy, Mosley, Peterson etc. All got a ****ing pass. But Jr gets suspended and fined for nearly a year for marijuana and Morales for a **** drug that didn`t work on him and gets ko and gets banned for 2 years.

    Let's get something straight, Morales did not get banned for 2 years. He was sanctioned by the USADA. Remember he voluntarily agreed to their tested and thus voluntarily agreed to follow any punishment that would come his way should he test positive. He can still fight in the US if the governing bodies decided to ignore the USADA's sanction.

    Erik Morales is completely out of prime and cannot make weight and is destroying himself further by draining himself. He seriously needs to retire.

    yup exactly, the entire career of those two should be questioned, not Morales.
