Where is the proof that PED taking boxers are "dangerous" ?

Oxford University actually did a study on whether PEDs allow boxers to create more head trauma due to unnatural punching powers or stamina allowing them to land an unnatural amount of hard punches in a fight.
The additional head trauma did seem to be linked with increased risk of coma, brain bleed and the like.
But the scientists had to admit that there was no proof this jeopardised anyone's life because life is what you make it.

 

Being punched in the head repeatedly with or without steroids is pretty dangerous, give a guy more stamina to be able to punch a little harder, faster, longer.....

Doesn't take any studies, common sense should prevail here.

as a boxer you wouldn't bother taking them unless you believe they make you more dangerous.

they are not performance enhancing unless they make you more dangerous. right?

 

you obviously have too much free time, so why don't you make your own solid facts?

f.e. punch yourself in head before and after taking PEDs, and bring the results here (and videos as proof).

Thank you in advance for your noble work.

 

Common sense?

 

The sport itself puts the fighters life in jeopardy. The fact that every fighter knows and understands this, yet will take PED's speaks more of the morality and character of the fighters and the sport by allowing it to happen. Is it as dangerous as loaded gloves? No. But taking an illegal substance that allows a fighter to throw more punches, harder for a longer period of time can be dangerous.
