    It's happened for decades, including heroes of mine. Weird how it's a big issue now; VADA and co testing probably. Never gave a $hit and still don't TBH.

    When did Spence Canelo , Jacobs become English?

    The list I did involved more British fighters due to the fact it is easier to get away with doping not to mention that I know people in the industry that work with some of these fighters along with other info which hasn't hit the mainstream that you're likely not privy to.

    Would be quicker to make a list of fighters who haven't used. None could be quite as stupid as Miller though.

    Fair one. In which case that was some top tier genetics.

    Everyone's on PEDs and Miller's wet slap on the wrist means absolutely no one should be in fear of getting caught.

    Yes. He’s totally ruined it for fat fighters and their fans now who before Miller was caught, could point to their totally unripped and out of shape bodies and question how anybody could possibly suspect they were on PEDs

    I'd say it was more of a light shouting at

    Haven't bothered reading the thread but it's far better to play the game "fighters you think are genuinely clean".

    Just some elite fighters off the top of my head:

    - Bellew. Absolutely no sign of hormone use. His progression as a fighter coincided with him moving up in weight and no longer starving himself at LHW. He developed some power, and became a stronger all-round fighter, his IQ increasing in line with experience. No outstanding athletic qualities.

    - Khan. Was always lightening as a kid. Sure he worked with Ariza which is a little suspect but throughout his career he has relied on his speed alone. His power has remained pretty average-to-poor. Stamina is nothing special. And a steady decline with age.

    - Golovkin. Hits hard as **** but power is not indicative of drug use alone. Same goes with punch resistance. Otherwise no outstanding athletic qualities, just very technically sound boxer. Steady decline with age.

    - Kovalev. Same as above really. Stamina has always been poor. He's declining with age and relying on his boxing abilities to win fights now. Physique of a footballer really. Absolutely nothing about him screams drug use.

    I could go on but I should be working right now so I cba. Generally the key indicators are physique, dramatic improvements in athleticism and whether the fighter declines with age. The latter is the key one - naturally your test levels drop as you get older. If a fighter suddenly becomes more ripped or has better stamina as they age and then attributes it to dietary changes like eating steak for breakfast (*cough* Kell Brook *cough) then they are on drugs.

    And I'd qualify the above list as well with my general belief that any elite fighter would be stupid not to take drugs.
