The build up will be too good. I think it would do numbers. ESPN probably isn’t willing to get swindled again either.
So it ok to use your “God Given” advantages over an opponent but not ok to use modern medicine? F that.
That's sport, and everything else in life. Some people are just more equal than others. Some are more athletic, some are taller, some are more attractive, some are richer, some are more intelligent... some have it all. Some try to overcome their shortcomings on a natural way. I couldn't so no life as an athlete for me. Some try to become the next "Captain America" (America's hero is a doped up to the brim originally scrawny dude), but that's not competing human against human, but human vs medical experiment.
Agreed & i am in the same boat as you in the athletic department. But if it is human vs human & there are medical experiments dwelling among them ... why not let them ALL dope? Strictly speaking as a spectator medical experiment vs medical experiment would make quite the spectacle!
Because nowadays you can't full on dope when you fight for big money, against big names. Many of them still do, but usually micro dosing, things they can get a TUE for, the lighter stuff. There aren't many Miller type "everything goes" walking experiments around anymore like in the 80's and 90's. The main issue is that if you free it all, the ones that care about their health and refuse to use their bodies as experiments are left out in the cold. The "don't care if I get cancer 10 years from now" and "I look like Bob Sapp and don't care", as long as I keep winning crowd would rule boxing.
I would say the majority of boxers / fighters aren’t too concerned about their future health to be honest. I don’t know the answer but high profile names (too many too name past & present) seem to have either been accused of dopeing or have been busted doping. Maybe let them micro dose, just let them fight if they choose to or not. They are all grown men. It is after all the entertainment industry & the show must go on.
