    No this is more like having 1kg of coke a couple kf years before cocaine becoming illegal and the police at that time and place having no business bothering you about it.

    Androstenedione is a **** poor PED that wasn't illegal at the time and Indiana had no authority to test for it.

    Considering how weak androstenedione is even the cocaine analogy is a hyperbole.


    I'm not saying RJJ is a lifetime clean fighter, I'm saying he's being singled out over nothing

    Floyd is the ultimate drug cheat. It’s not like he cheated and others cheated. He literally controlled USADA so that he could cheat, be granted TUEs for occasions he was caught for, whilst preventing his opponent from cheating to even the playing field.

    So at least Holyfield, Jones didn’t prevent their opponents from doing the same thing.

    Even more ridiculous, people pointing out suspicious cases or minor grey area substances as in the cases of Fury, BJS, Povetkin ... and pretend it's the same as hardcore PED fiends like Jones, Holyfield, Tyson who demonstrate visible physical exceptionalism that defies belief.

    People talk about Manny being suspect going up divisions. Jones and Holyfield fight at HW after massive bulking but oh well. Even more absurd is Mike Tyson, 220lbs lean and 'clean' at 5'10 but not suspicious. Laughable.

    If you're 5'10, I challenge you to get to 220lbs, lean, all while performing high intensity cardio. To put that into perspective, the average male at 5'10 is around 155-165lbs when lean, and athletes in non bulking sports clearly show that too.

    My friend is 5’9 weighs 220lb pure muscle, amateur boxer.

    Tyson has always been a big stock dude, since he was 14.

    When 115 world records got shattered at the D-Olympics in Bogota, Columbia, I knew we were heading into an era of out in the open use. :(

    Team Pacquiao is asking for equality here a fair go. This guy has been blasted but like OP said. A lot of Americans are or were taking Peds and caught and yet they are immortalize look at Clenelo, Roid Jones and real deal Holyfield. No words every one just sweeps it under the rags when it comes to their beloved boxer.

    He’s the worst as he prevented others from taking the juice whilst he had a professional team inject his hands and ass. Shouting about tests like the ultimate hypocrite. At least RJJ and Holyfield let others do what they were doing for an even playing field.
