    I think there's a lot more cheating in the olympics than anyone would want to admit.

    Oh please not with this bull****, with all those Euro's getting caught doping every year you're gonna tell me the USA is the only country taking advantage of performance enhancers? :rofl

    Tom Zbikowski. Now a safety for the Ravens. Could have been a decent professional 75-15 as an amatuer, but gave up boxing for football.

    Yeah of course "**** off" when I actually provide cold hard data. Balco? What about every tour de france winner since Lance Armstrong retired for the first time? Hell I typed in steroids rugby in google and first thing that popped up.

    i didnt say euros wernt on roids, but im pretty certain the cutting edge stuff comes from the usa, balco was feeding athletes roids, stuff unavailable elsewhere. I know two pro rugby players myself that were takeing the stuff (2004), i know an mma fighter who takes it, but why havent you responded to my photos of dwayne wade or whatever his name is. i wouldnt for one minute doubt the usa has more roid users than anywhere else, personally i think they should all be allowed to use them, that way its a fair playing field. the people taking the cutting edge stuff (mainly americans) dont get caught because its out of their systems so fast. James Degale has beeen a pro boxer for two years....hes not yet taken a single drugs test according to himself. The unfairrness comes when some are on roids others arnt.

    If a guy makes the choice to play football or some other game then that is his sport.You cant say he could have been a boxer if he never tried it.It dont matter how big he looks.You could say the same about most countries.For example Martin Johnson would have been a heavy had he boxed.But he never did,he chose rugby.

    what i do find amazing is that according to michigan warrior....only americans can play nfl because they are a special breed of human and not one single foreigner could possibly play it because they dont have the american special dna. Even though their are ex-rugby players in the nfl, look at the samoans in the league, their are nearly 30, everyone has his roots in rugby.

    The ONLY inferiority complex here is you MW, you are the one that CANNOT accept that at this momet in time America is not top dog in HW division. Instead you are trying to rationalise it and find some excuse to ease your mind. Helping you to think ahhh ok thats why we not winning, we could if we wanted! ect ect

    That article was written in 1998!

    Rugby is one of the cleanest sports in the world. 2 year ban for a doping offence whether it's recreational or performance enhancing.

    What's the length of ban in American sports? I bet it's slap on the wrist and a few games :lol:

    Again, if they are good enough to go to the NFL, or other American sports, they would leave their original sport in a second. And in this case, even their country (UK rugby players or Samoan athletes).

    Im sure not every athlete in the world in wishing they could play american football or basketball, id say lots are very happy where they are!! Take a poll of maybe the all blacks or some other rugby team and ask them would they like to be playing gridiron instead of rugby for their country and id say zero or very few would like to change sports, would you disagree?

    Most of the top athletes in the most popular sports in the world are all millionares many times over anyway
