    "You're going to see, at least for the next few years, a lot of injuries occurring in training to those fighters who were raised in the Soviet system," Arum said. "The reason for that is, as young athletes, they were fed steroids and their bodies are breaking down from the steroids. That's why I'm not surprised at Maskaev's injury. I'm not surprised every time Vitali Klitschko gets injured because that's the worst thing that a kid can do is take steroids. They have an effect later in their career and certainly later in life."

    Thoughts?

    He could be right, but I think the fighters are just playing games with Sam Peter and they can get what they want from the WBC.

    Not by Klitscho, he tested positve for steroids before the 96 Olympics(which is why he didn't compete)
