Is this proof that Roberto Duran was using PEDs?

[Luilun]

You cherrypicked the phrase that made it sound as bad as possible, while omitting the words that contextualised it

A well known journalistic trick.

He would be good on Team Obama

I heard he was given horse tranqs to weaken him so that odds on his next fight would be massively against him at which point they took him off the tranqs, which returned him to normal killer levels

Yes i just pulled it from my ass

[New England]

Yeah i forgot about Boldenone/Equipoise...it could be that too. Plenty of MMA and boxing guys have been caught for it in the past IIRC.

If i wanted to get yolked I could just go into my horses's medicine cabinet

horses, huh?


that's pretty cool, man. i'm not very familiar with them, but they seem like very cool animals.

He took PEDs and probably had a bad reaction, it happens sometimes when taking illegal substances.
Whether he succeeded or not he tried to cheat and who is to say he didn't try other injections.
Well he that right hand he caught from Hearns cleaned him out anyway.

i could be wrong, as i have not looked into it specifically, but i seriously doubt there were drug tests being administered, or sanctions against what we call "PED" use when duran was a lightweight. that was 30-40 years ago.

if it's not illegal it is not cheating.

I'm not too bothered about this but,

Firstly, No one seems to have considered what the banned list of substances was at this time to be cheating it would need to be on this.

Secondly, their have been many cases where athletes have confessed to doping, thinking they have received PED and actually the Dr /Team have been giving them a placebo.

You beat me to it! haha

If you don't know what the drug is you can't make accusations of cheating. Energy drinks improve performance so technically that's a PED, Caffeine was a banned substance until 2004.
