    and be stripped of any titles they have previously held ?
    basically this should be the norm.any fighter that has an L on their records should have it changed to a W.
    it is what happens in athletics and it should in boxing.
    the likes of rjj and mosley to name a couple have been caught but how did they suffer ?
    what is to deter others from doing it ?

    The game is full of users.

    If you think otherwise, you're delusional.

    No, but they should be required to take random bi weekly drug tests while active for the duration of their career.

    These drug tests should be a requirement anyways.

    If they implemented front-end testing routines on todays fighters, the game would be barren.

    Just like if you had the olympics w/o PEDs, you'd never see world records, or people running sub 9.8 @ 100m.

    well do you think they should just let people carry on cheating then so we dont lose some star fighters that are cheating to achieve that status ?

    Each and everyone who gets to a certain level are phenomenally talented, either way.

    I honestly don't know what I want to do with regards to the PED's that are obviously running rampant in sports, period.

    You have a very obtuse view on how things are.

    I suspect 95% of all top level boxers to be/have been on something.

    Would I personally want to see all of them banned for life? Hell no.

    That's a bunch of crap.

    And for the record I love the Olympics, so I know quite a bit about them.... Olympic drug testing is very stringent. Usain Bolt the fastest man in history was not among the recent group of people who got caught because of the stringent competition drug policy. He also has offered to take random drug tests every month until the next Olympic games...

    The only reason a lot of these guys that do dope up is because there is no such policy and to compete with the dopers most are pressured into becoming one themselves.

    So you do believe Usain Bolt is 100% clean?:lol::lol::lol:

    His S/C coach is Angel Heredia, a man who boasts about having PEDs which are non-detectable atm. :rofl

    It doesn't matter what I believe, point is he's willing to take the tests, whats the problem?

    Look at the UFC they are willing to eliminate stars and up and coming stars because of failed tests, they're doing just fine....

    The question is mute.
    It's the same as asking if manipulation of human DNA should be banned.
    Although it's cheating and a fools paradise even if 90% of the world is against it, it will still happen.
