why should peds be banned at all?

[jamamb]

just curious. theres already plenty of unbanned stuff ppl are taking to help performance

and of course its not like guys with more financial support to afford pricy stuff arent already getting that

[jamamb]

wouldnt peds take the sport to the highest level for who is competing?

Often looked at for what the PED user can inflict, how about what they can take? Give them superhuman reserves of fitness and stamina and they will soak up ridiculous amounts of damage from another supercharged human, except the brain will not be enhanced and the drugs will allow them to take punches they shouldnt, deaths would be more commonplace

Imagine what youth football academies, for example, would be like.

I used to be in the allow anything these blunt instruments want to take camp. They're only there for our entertainment anyway and if they want to fornicate up their health for the chance of a few quid now, fornicate them...

...but when you take it down to grass roots, and factor in youthful determination with extreme naivety; and then consider greedy, simpleton, vicarious pushy parents and under pressure coaching staff and it's an ugly scene.

Professional sport is horrible already, why make it worse?

2 great posts on the the spin there from tobyh5 and Sklar.

If anything testing needs to be improved and punishments need to be more servere.

I think they should be allowed. I want to see gladiators at the limits of medical science battering seven shades of sh-t out eachother.

Because it's dangerous, if you aren't any good, then you just idiots that take just as much drugs as they can, thinking they will become good. Bum Stiverne almost died, he was lucky Wilder doesn't have such a hard punch.

your lover povetkin was absolute dyanmite to watch after the wlad fight until he got caught. a massive step up on the previous version. ultra explosive and exciting and destructive.

from an entertainment perspective i think it would be amazing if we saw that type of transformation and super charging of all the top fighters, although i know the argument for/against goes well beyond this

I don't care about Povetkin that much, he turned out to be innocent btw. Meldonium got less positive effects on a boxer as a cup of coffee. Povetkin has always been an extreme talent and still, to the day of today, has never been KOed, unlike nearly all of his opponents.

Yes lets turn boxing into "who has the best doctor" competition

[jamamb]

i mean isnt there already lots of support to boxers from specialists? and would good peds be unafforadble to most?
