Does anyone else think we should just legalize steroids

that vid is worth watching with the other docs critizising the WADA doc LOL

 

half of the HW's would walk around with a body like alistair overeem the other half would still be fat

 

My argument wasn't peds will be the only factor, it is peds should not be a factor at all. I don't want peds in any sport. I don't care if there is no bad side-effects at all.

Yes, I admit I pretty much know nothing about steroids or any other ped. There are different kinds but from what I've read/watched/heard there are some significant long term problems. But maybe new drugs that don't have those problem were made, I don't know, I don't follow the ped industry nor do I care.

Don't care who you are. Maybe you're a model citizen, maybe you have dedicated many years to boxing. Advocating peds in boxing or any sport is something that I am against and I think you're a ****** for being on the other side.

 

That goes without saying. It doesn't even need to be said because its commonsense. No one is arguing one way or the other that if you have no talent and dont work hard you can morph into some super human athlete, but who gives a **** whether they work hard. The PED allow them to train longer and harder and recover quicker. There is a reason Ben Johnson was coming 3/4th when he came off the PED.

I guess we should do away with the Police to? Cause we are never gonna eradicate dishonest people from society.

 

Yes, but not for sports. Who has died form roids, now who has died from smoking and alcohol? You can point out some people who have died from roids, but they had mental issues prior to the use. I know people will point to Chris Beniot. They work and if you cycle them like your suppose to compared to others that use them non-stop and stack the **** out of them, you will have issues. If you abuse anything it is bad for you. I have never had a problem with roids and now HGH. The only problem is that they work.

 

Fair enough. I'm going to take your word about the medical side of peds.
I just believe that all sport competition should be natural or its meaningless. it may still be very fun to watch, but its meaningless.

What are your arguments for peds, because I was just going off of the opening post where you argued that since it could not completely be prevented it should be legalized.

 

Well as far as the sports part. I mean, the Pacs and the Mayweathers would have total access to the best peds compared to up and comers or even contenders. It is like what Doylexx posted on that film which I watched and you should check out if you did not see it. The Russians were kicking the **** out of the Americans back in the day and a Russian coach got drunk with a American coach and confessed the Russians were using roids so the American coach went back and got a better and stronger roid that helped them when so many medals. Who has or can afford the better roid. So it still would not be a fair playing field. If energy drinks are not allowed in the ring, roids shoud not be either. I'm for the everyday person who is not a pro athlete. I'm open minded about it though. If a steriod could be use to just to recover and help with weight and it is allowed, then yes. Now, you know other countries will not abide by this and use something stronger which goes to what I was saying. This is my honest opinion on this. Baseball is mad because they feel their past legends are getting cheated yet they did not let black people play. Robinson was not even the best ball player that was allowed to play. Off topic now.

 

I also agree it should be natural. Does anyone know if other countries check for peds? I remember Mosley stating he could bench press 315 when he was a 135 champ. Hello.

 

No. Boxing will stop being about contesting the most athletic, hard working, and motivated and instead be about who has the best drug dealer.

 

Because it's dangerous. And that's a two-pronged argument.

A. Dangerous for the fighter's health. Steroids have been proven to cause cancer, and severe depression; often leading to suicide. Many of these problems have been documented in MIDDLE SCHOOL and HIGH SCHOOL kids. Legalization would result in top-name athletes, people KIDS view as role models, to start juicing up. Do you want your kid juicing? Why not?

B. Dangerous physically, during training and in competition. Especially in fight sports and other sports involving a lot of rigorous stamina training. In fight sports, the guy who juiced the best can have a HUGE advantage and someone could be killed.

That's why it's illegal NOW. And that's why it will never be legal. It's dangerous.

 

Sure. Why not? The impact of all this **** is way overblown anyway. Just let anyone who wants to take 'em to take 'em.
