The only problem that I have with a fighter being on it is that it is a violation of the rules, that's it.
    These are my sentiments as well.

        its almost as though your dismissing it put it this way if it were that ineffectual then people would'nt use the stuff would they especially with the penalties it carries if you get caught ,it goes without saying that if your a bum then even steroids are not gonna make you SRL pretty dum and weak analogy actually

        its aslo crazy to deal in absolutes only a fool would suggest all Shanes wins are down to steroids but you cannot dismiss the fights where it has made a huge difference it is called a performance enhancing drug for a reason the clue is in the title

          I kinda disagree with that first statement, yes no matter what you need skill to win. But steriods increase power and aggressiveness, both those thing can be huge in a fight, especially if its close.

            not only power and more agressive, add to that a lot better endurance, and when your tired, you tend to lose concentration and the last percentages of the sharpness needed to win..

            so by enhancing your performance with roids, it effects your game immensly, otherwise why the **** use it..

                i think its a very high likelihood that a lot of fighters are or have messed around with steroids. way more have done it than have been caught, im certain.

                mosley getting mixed up with that stuff did nothing positive for him though, and his losses all came afterwards.

                i honestly think part of why mosley has looked better recently is because his body is back in sync from all the ****** **** he was taking

                  Fact is at some point wether he lost or not he must have gainded an unfair advantage from taking them ,that is wrong which ever way you look at it and

                      It's ****** as hell to take roids. If you wanna be a cheater, go ahead.
                      If it's my life you're playing with, I'll make sure to stomp hard on your balls for being such a weak ass ***got.

                      I've fought against a guy who was on some kind of roids once, in the final in the national championship.
                      Knocked him down in the first round and he gave up.
                      Couple of weeks later, he got banned for using steroids.

                      Maybe he didn't get any better, but he sure was strong for those 20 seconds or so it lasted...
