Well if sport is a weekend hobby for butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers then of course I agree there is no need for PEDs.
But since it isn't, there is no reason to limit athletes when we ask so much of them.
Dumb guys from the ghetto being doped up and dressed up like clothes horses to shill other dumb guys from the ghetto to get dressed up like clothes horses, and corn/drug-fed rednecks thanking God, their parents, Budweiser and Doritos for taking them to the promised land, you think that's good? Fair enough if so but I don't like it.

You have a very negative perspective. It's also a bit curious why you're actually a member of this forum if pro sports are so appalling to you?

I disagree about cancelling the fight. Mosley had the opportunity of a lifetime to fight a declawed tiger with an artificially inflated p4p ranking for an artificially inflated payday, and acquire artificially inflated hype for winning. Margarito acquired a p4p top 10 ranking by using plaster handwraps, and Mosley acquired a p4p top 10 ranking by beating a Margarito who didn't have plaster handwraps. It's almost like if you beat Matthew Hatton and got the same credit as if you had beaten Ricky Hatton. By going forward with the fight, Mosley picked-up a super easy victory and was gift-wrapped a multi-million dollar payday against Mayweather.
SSM was given the choice to cancel the fight and possibly have Margarito arrested or at least a criminal investigation. He chose to go on with the fight. I'm glad he did.

Me too because he proved that Margarito isn't all that they made him out to be without his loaded gloves and then Miguel Cotto helped to further illustrate that point, notice the difference in the way Cotto's face looked from the first fight and the second.
I have no reason to believe that Margo wasn't cheating back then when he did that to Lujan's ear and the one punch KO of 6 Heads Lewis.
