    I remember when Roid Jones got caught with roids in Indiana! El Pollo has been caught two times, but it's OK with the WBC, VADA cleared Povetkin, but that was not good enough for Haymon's WBC!

    Ive gotta admit i didnt realise Holyfield had never been caught. I honestly thought he had been at some point. But if the fact are he hasnt then NO, without something down on paper i dont accuse. Canelo on the other hand has been, blame the beef but what a load of bullocks. lol at myself.

    Honestly it's gotten to the point where looking for a clean boxer is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I suspect all the top 90's fighters were doping. Why wouldn't they, the testing until quite recently was a joke. So yes Holyfield was doping, but I honestly couldn't say for certain that Lewis, Bowe or Tyson were all clean either.

    Canelo is clearly doping, if you fail a test you are a cheat unless it can be proved he consumed contaminated meat. The burden is now on Canelo to prove his innocence until he does, he is a cheat, pure and simple.

    Holyfield clearly used, just from the drug lab investigation.
    And he did gain a lot of muscle very fast-when not just thin & light already.
    Also yes certain builds are more suspicious. There are more androgen receptors by the traps & necks.

    Many guys use.
    But I am tired of the constant unsupported statements that everyone uses.
    Some have integrity, some are afraid of being caught, some of health risks, often a combination of things.

    Just asserting a premise that virtually everyone must be using or have used...

    Is as unrealistic as stating that nobody uses, or only the guys that get caught are dirty.
