And you found out for an absolute fact that all top fighters were on peds and there was just no way to be competitive 'naturally' - would you also take them? I probably would, I guess.
I would just call out Mayweather and Ali and take a dump on them for ducking me. I'd call myself "the Gauteng Gommie" and claim that no man born of his mother could beat me. Then I'd crush 36 of the worst cans I could find in one year and put the footage on tiktok. Fight an exhibition with Floyd, make a couple of million by losing in a boring fight and retire. Wait. What was the question?
I honestly feel as though doing LSD once has left me with more brain damage than years of boxing did.
I wouldn't use PED's but I would load the hell out of my gloves. I'm talking brass knuckles, a roll of pennies, rub ointment to burn the opponents eyes, remove filling, you name it, I would it to the gloves. LOL
Nope. I'd blow up the entire sport with that scandal. Collect proof, blow the ****ers out the water in indictments and lawsuits. I'd name names and sell my soul if that was the case
I am not a cheater, not in games, sport, relationships or any aspect of my life, it's simply not how I was raised and not who I am. I would also refuse to believe I could not win naturally. Boxing isn't a sport purely about physical superiority it's a heavily skill based sport with a big strategic and mental aspect as well, in fact physical excellence maybe the least important of these attributes. Plus there are plenty of examples of fighters who lost and were then caught doping, PED's do not guarantee victory, they give you an edge no doubt but one that can easily be negated via superior skills and boxing acumen. Even in sports where PED's would have a greater impact on performance like cycling there are examples of clean athletes beating ones that were cheating. The American cyclist Greg LeMond for example, won the Tour de France in 1983 but was then shot in a hunting accident and missed two tours and was struggling to find the form he had prior to being shot and so his team PDM which was one of the best teams at the time wanted him to start injecting testosterone like the rest of his team, he refused and left one of the best teams to join ADR which was a small Belgian team of little repute or success. Le Mond went on to win the Tour de France in 1989 surround by athletes who were known dopers but because the sports doping policy hadn't caught up with the then growing problem of doping they were allowed to ride. I think it was Delgado who was caught using a masking agent that year but because it wasn't banned yet he was allowed to ride. So despite coming back from being shot and against guys like Delgado who were doping as well as his previous PDM team mates he won. Le Mond won the 1989 Tour De France during the last time trial setting a record that nobody would beat until 2005 some 16 years later. During those 16 years there would be a revolution in the sport and bikes became much lighter and faster and more aerodynamic and drugs like EPO were widely used to enhance performance. Despite all these cyclists with all these technological advancements and cutting edge PED's none of them could beat Le Mond's time when he was clean, the difference wasn't the PED's or the technology it was the man and his sheer will to win and ability to put himself at a level of physical pain and sustain it longer than anyone else in 1989 or the next 16 years.
