Should drug cheats be banned from HOF?

They're proven cheaters, so you've got a point.:think

 

Because their idols are cheaters.
I personally think a proven cheater should be banned immediately.

 

No every fighter pretty much try's to enhance their performance and most fighters use performance enhancing drugs today, especially at heavyweight. Most fighters of yesteryear would also. Anyone with a killer instinct will use performance enhancers with legal or illegal.

 

the right is no of course, but i got a thread on the D word taken off here , so watch your back. be afraid.

 

horse**** .

 

i think they should be allowed in
if u do the crime ,then u do the time and then your debt is paid

 

It'd never work because you'd have to kick out the performance enhancing drug users that are already in there. People love to look at Toney as the posterchild and might not realize that anabolic steroids were first used for athletics in the 1950's, and were involved in boxing by the 70's at the very latest, and quite likely earlier.

Too much of a double standard to start now.

 

I see what you're saying here; I'm just wary of the increasing vindictiveness of sports in general when it comes to performance enhancing drugs because they have been around for so much longer than the microscope has been on the subject and, though the methods are scrutinized and judged more now than 30 years ago, most fans demand any one of bigger, stronger, faster, or better conditioned athletes and vote for that with their dollars. Alot of people enjoy the fruits of juiced up athletes only to condemn them because they don't like what they see when the curtain's pulled back on some of the training methods. What's forgotten is that these drugs aren't used by lazy fighters, but by some of the hardest working ones because they allow you to train at a higher level for longer and reduce soreness and injury time.

Despite my playing devil's advocate, I don't like it because it's an unfair deal for truly clean fighters because PED's do work like a charm if not abused...but being completely honest, I don't necessarily blame anyone who wants to get every possible advantage possible in dog-eat-dog sports such as boxing.
