its because a lot of people here hated Margarito already before this whole scandal so now they use this to add fuel to their fire! i'm not downgrading what Margarito did in any way but the amount of hate he gets especially when at the same time they preaise Mosley like a hero is very hypocritical of them! BTW i got nothing against Mosley im just talkin about the people that hate on margarito and praise mosley!Comment

Think about it.
Why would Tony cheat if hes a 4:1 fav?
He probably even cheated with Cotto and OTHER fights before this one.
Yea he used Steriods, but he admitted it didn't he? Just for that one fight. Tony's corner is denying that **** and why on earth would he use PLASTER on a fight that was suppose to be a TUNE UP!Comment

Cheating is cheating, but in this fight Sweetness was on point. Sugar was ripped and lean, you could see he felt good pushing Tony around the ring and giving him the beating of his life...

Using this moronic logic I could also assume that if Mosley was caught using roids once then I could also assume that he's used it many times before. I mean if he used roids against Oscar the 2nd time then why wouldn't he have used them in their 1st fight where he was a much bigger underdog right?
And another thing, Mosley isn't exactly admitting he used roids, in fact he's trying to sue people to try and clear his name because now he's all of a sudden alledging that he didn't know what he was taking. What a lying ****.Comment

Thats the point I've trying to make in all the threads that some people are hypocrites and should try to be objective.
If people start questioning Margs boxing history because he cheated, they should also question Mosley's, or any other fighter whose controversial.Comment

Interesting article about this whole thing here >
A BALCO client, Mosley was subpoenaed in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative investigation and testified before the grand jury in 2003. He had always denied doping and has never tested positive.
But Mosley on Friday confirmed that he had unknowingly taken some banned substances.
He said that his former strength and conditioning coach, Darryl Hudson, convinced him to take substances from BALCO, and that he unaware of what they were.
"Unknowingly, yes, some of the substances they are talking about, were being used as part of the workouts," Mosley told ESPN.com. "I didn't know what the (heck) it was.
"I didn't know anything about that stuff. It was something given to me, pushed up on me. I'm a health freak-type of guy. I like to have everything organic, natural."
He had said earlier Friday that he was upset that the matter had come up again.
"I'm disappointed that this is coming out again, four years after I've been to the grand jury and gave my truthful testimony," Mosley said in a statement issued by publicist Debbie Caplan. "I even took a lie detector test back then to let everyone know that I wasn't trying to be an unfair fighter."
According to SI.com, evidence seized during the BALCO raids showed Mosley had blood work done to measure his hematocrit level, the volume of red blood cells, at 44. In a calendar with his file, the date of July 26 was circled, accompanied by the word "start" and the letter "e," the website reported, and the boxer's level increased to 52.2 by Aug. 8.
"Most men are in the low 40s," Dr. Gary Wadler, a member of the World Anti-Doping Association, told SI.com. "Anything over 50 is considered off the charts."
According to that same calendar, Mosley received a final dose of EPO, which stimulates red blood cell production, on Sept. 8, five days before the fight, SI.com reported.
Victor Conte, the BALCO founder, was released from prison in March 2006 after pleading guilty to selling designer steroids.
"We went out there and I left him (Conte) a check for $1,500 with my name on it, and from then on I never saw him again," Mosley said Friday. "But from the beginning I had them contact the Nevada State Athletic Commission to make sure there were no problems. They got the banned substance list and I was told that nothing I was being given was on that list.
"I was upset because I didn't even need to go there," he said, meaning he didn't feel he needed any help for the matchup with De La Hoya. "I already felt that I was the better man and the better fighter. I wondered why I had to get in the middle of this type of scandal. It was kind of crazy and I felt used."
Blood doping has long been an issue in cycling and running, where athletes have boosted red blood cells to increase the capacity to carry oxygen to the muscles.
Mosley is scheduled to fight Miguel Cotto on Nov. 10 in a WBA welterweight title bout.Comment
