Should being caught using PED'S mean no HOF induction?

ripped fuel does not raise the bodies testosterone level 6 times above average.

 

I voted yes, but I have a question and a comment.

First the comment. The list of names in the original post included people who have been "suspected" of using PEDs. I don't think you should be kept out of the HOF unless it's been proven. If you've got a positive test, then yes. But you shouldn't be banned for suspicion.

Now the question. Is Holyfield one of those suspected, or did he have a positive test that I never knew about?

 

what about cheating of other types though? how do people feel about that? i biased because i'm a huge jones nuthugger, so this is a tough question for me to honestly answer. I don't think one instance erases an entire career. but what about other types of illegal tactics?

 

Outstanding post, that puts a final to the point.
Cheats shouldnt be treated as winners :good

 

PED is too generic of a term.

 

that's where i'm struggling to. but at the same time we'd need to take out guys like sonny liston (who cheated in his wins of machen and williams), fritzie zivic, roberto duran, possibly even jack dempsey. if ANY cheating discounts a career than many great of the past are out

 

great to see an honest response on here, when 99% refuse to discuss the topic

what other types of illegal tactics do you mean? got to admit that i fully agree with what the poster said about margarito, theres is no excusin what that ****er did, its sickenning. i'm a firm believer that cheats are very rarely caught the only time they cheat. someone who cheats once is very likely to have cheated many times imo.

 

in terms of illegal tactics in the ring, i don't condone it but i wouldn't try and stop someone bein inducted into the hall of fame through it. its the referee's job to cut that **** out and its not a hidden form of cheating, it is there for everyone to see, rather than peds or loaded gloves which are deliberatly hidden forms of cheating.
