PEDs means inflicting more brain damage. You're alright with that?
It's not up to fans to be alright with it or not. But if I was a pro boxer and I knew my opponents were nearly all on PEDs and barely being tested, I'd certainly consider jumping on the train too, if only to protect myself against being the one getting the brain damage.

Of course fans can have an opinion, but end of the day they're not the ones getting in the ring and potentially facing a PED enhanced opponent. If boxing ever cleans up its act and takes PEDs seriously, I'll be the first to criticise anyone still cheating. But as it is, they're all bloody doing it.

Victor Conte reckons about 60% of boxers are on PEDS,. If that is accurate then the Usyk vs Fury card could in theory potentially have 7 fighters who are on something, and that’s using a lower figure of 50%. I would assume the higher up the ladder you go the more prevalent it is because that's where the moneys at. To be honest none of the positive tests shock me now, it's a money making business at the end of the day.

Everyone who is a client of his are dopers in my eyes. You don’t go & work with him if you’re a clean athlete.

I’d like to hear Liam Smith’s thoughts on it. He was outspoken about Fowler working with him before their fight & now he’s got McCann as a gym mate.
Liam's gone public saying Josh Kelly is juicing.
Why does no one ever go public saying AJ is juicing? He’s the most blatant case there is
so how come he gets tested by vada et al and has never had a fail :lol:

You actually believe that? The users are way ahead of the testers. Masking, cycling, using PEDs that are not yet testing for? How naive are you? :OhYes:

Listen to Victor Conte podcast where he talks about it, if you know what you are doing or are getting the right people helping you won’t get caught.

Maybe times have changed, maybe I was naive, probably the likes of Holyfield were on it, but in the 90's I didn't think anyone was on it.
Saying that there was barely any testing then, I never got tested in 54 fights.
I think it was only championship level fighters that were.

Probably because they screwed up, he done a recent interview with Tris Dixon, interesting listen, explains how they use methods that aren’t even being tested for

The kid is covered in "hard man" tattoos and got beard transplants. That tells you all you need to know about the mindset.
What the bloody hell is a Beard Transplant? Do you get someone else's beard put on your face? Can you choose whose you get?

Can I get a Beard transplant on the back of my head?

Nor did ‘Evan Fields’… or Andrew Golota or Tommy Morrison who admitted he’d been juicing since 18. Oh Lance Armstrong never failed a test either. People who believe in testing and laughably naive.

I just hate all this PED shit. One day someone's gonna get killed in the ring and the guy standing over him is going to test positive.
