While deep down i know nearly all of them are most likely on gear, If you never test positive or hide from tests then i can kinda embrace some ignorance and give you a pass.

It’s just a great shame that young boxers might feel they need to be on a cycle of substances like growth hormone and testosterone to compete in world class. Boxing is already a high risk sport, but with the side effects of anabolics the damage done to the heart, liver and kidneys, not to mention the suppression of the body’s ability to produce testosterone will be another health concern for down the road.

Jarrell Miller's reputation is in tatters due to his multiple failed tests. It's less about him testing positive for PED's, but more about his hypocrisy and hyperbole.
Re: Whose reputation has been ruined the most by peds?
I don't think Canelo's reputation has been ruined. His career is doing fine. The mainstream media wrote about the positive test in 2018, but nothing since then.

ATM, IMHO, Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller.
Re: Whose reputation has been ruined the most by peds?
I'm glad Miller's reputation has been ruined, unfortunately others got off with only a slap on the wrist...

Unlike baseball, the 90s-2000s boxers mostly got away with it
I think that "sports scientists" Wlad and Vitali benefitted the most, but like most, were never caught, other than Vitali's positive test that kept him out of the Olympics, which was so early most people forgot about it
