    Yeah but that was Floyd he's a law in itself. He lived by a separate set of rules. Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating :angel2: ROFLMAO

    It's a grey area, blame the testing agency and lack of a league or commission. If you claim they passed because of a corrupt doctor, then that's conspiracy. You have no proof, just speculation. I can't be the type of person to condemn a fighter on speculation or conspiracies, nor do I take everything at face value. Plus, no one really complains about their fighter doping, usually the opposite.

    Unless you're a doctor or a fighter, no sense in crying or listening to those that do.

    it is, to be allowed to use trt your doctor has to diagnose you with low testosterone, are you telling me at a 20 something old athlete like peterson who is ripped to peaces and hasn't an ounce of fat has dangerously low testosterone levels? a doctor allowed him to use trt.

    at least thats how it would work in any country, i dont know what its like in america, can you just walk into some clinic and pump yourself full of steriods without a medical reason?

    i complain about all fighters doping, i don't have fighters or athletes who i defend over doping, i take it on a case by case basis. the fact is fighters such as peterson and hopkins and many more have abused trt to legally dope themselves to the eyeballs.

    and no one complains, its insane, they are doping in front of our eyes and everyone gives them a pass

    I don't see how TRT is different to other forms of PEDs or doping or whatever you want to call it.

    it isn't. the difference is some fighters are abusing it to openly dope and no one calls them up on it

    hopkins was praised by the hbo commentary as some freak of nature fighting into he's 50's and how amazing he is ,but no one brought up trt or how hopkins never gets drug tested or how he makes he's opponents sign contracts to silence them so they can't talk about it

    Pretty sure it's been clamped down on in the past few years.
    I know for a fact its not allowed in MMA anymore.
    For a non athlete, older guy I think its friggin awesome.
    Every guy over 40 should do it. It's practically a youth elixir!

    TRT is basically a way to revive the career of these older fighters who have plenty of experience in fighting and great technical skills but their rapid physical decline can't keep up with that. TRT is a way to stop that decline and become a fighter who has both old man's experience and technique and a young man's body.

    It makes you wonder how different boxing would be if they just allowed everyone to use whatever they want, we'd probably see a lot of cases of fighters in their late 40s still schooling everyone.

    But Russians should be allowed to box even if they're on "heart medicine" meldonium? They have serious heart ailments and should be banned for their own safety.

    That fact you are comparing the effects of trt to meldonium shows that you are completely insane.

    They should ban aspirin if they are banning meldonium they are fairly comparable.

    This is seriously unfair, they levels of try they are using sent monitored and they are doped up to the eyeballs...

    What you are basically suggesting is that once boxers reach a certain age we should allow them to dope to compete.
