Re: Peter McGrail versus Dennis McCann
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.keithmoonhangover wrote: ↑16 Dec 2024, 08:15We're not allowed an opinion?Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑16 Dec 2024, 07:59It's not up to fans to be alright with it or not.

Re: Peter McGrail versus Dennis McCann
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.

That’s another positive test for him after Conor Benn & he also has drugs cheat Tyson Fury as a client.
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.

Re: Peter McGrail versus Dennis McCann
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.

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.
