    In the US, if an athlete is caught using Steroids, their careers are generally over, especially if they are African American.

    US athletes penalized for using steroids.

    -Marion Jones - Track & Field
    She returned her Olympic medals (3 Gold, two Bronze) and served 6 months in Federal jail.
    Track career destroyed by steroid use. she then turned to playing with the WNBA.


    Tammy Thomas - cyclist
    Busted for steroid use during the selection process for the USA team in 2002. She’d not only beefed up considerably, but had actually grown an Adam’s apple on her throat, and hair where there didn’t used to be any.

    Following the investigation, Thomas was banned from cycling for life, convicted as a felon, and left with severe health problems.

    UK would dominate the sport!? HAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

    Maybe if you keep hiding the UK's fake champions away from the REAL champions. *cough* Selby *cough* Saunders *cough*

    Then you can gloat about the UK having champions in irrelevant divisions like LW and hiding away their belts from real challengers.

    He should be burned at the stake! That would send a message to all possible cheaters that they best hurry and buy their own drug testing company like Floyd did. Now that Floyd is bringing a lot of his fighter to fight in the UK he will have USADA open and office up on Downing Street.

    Promoters, Managers & boxers should put an end to the blackmailing of the Masking agents sales men (The testing agencies)

    All PEDs are legal & normal to use, paying crazy $ for masking products should be banned.

    if you want to pass a drug tests you have to go through the products produced by the Test agencies (lab) <<< Assuming good faith

    Then ban 99% of Top 10 boxers, news you just banned all of the elite boxers. Most boxers take what the trainers/nutritionists give them & play self deception assuming its not a PED. So When old school guys swear they never took PEDs, they are not always lying :smoke

    also can we discredit RUSADA while we're at it, and USADA isn't exactly perfect either.

    If there was one iota of proof, not accusations by liars, that Antonio Margarito EVER loaded or tried to load his gloves then YES! I'd support a lifetime ban. But not one has provided any proof just allegations started by a LIE!!!!!!
    I DETEST CHEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!
