Comments Thread For: Algieri on Benn's Positive Test: Not Surprised, I Heard Rumors He Wasn't a Clean Fighter

To think winning comes in a bottle.

Well the fighters obviously do, otherwise they wouldn't be cheating.

Interesting perspective. Mine differs.

Steroids work otherwise there wouldn't be so much usage by athletes and why would they risk it.

So, whether they win or not, it's certain that the fighter is stronger, faster or fitter than had they prepared for the fight without them.

This is boxing, not running, swimming or cycling. That fitter, faster , stronger fighter is going to punch another fighter in the head with the benefit of contractually prohibited drugs.

It should be considered assault not some kind of "sport" and punished accordingly.

Again, roiders don't hurt opponents nearly as much as natural fighters do.

Testing is going on
Ways to get around it is going on
People still get busted
Druggies are not instant winners.
Druggies have yet to seriously injure their opponent
Maybe, just maybe, the sport finds a way of allowing AND controlling it ?
Like how weed is now legal in most states ?

No one can convince me a guy is going to win a fight because he's taking PEDs.

Just saw an interview with Liam Smith and when asked if he was surprised about the positive result he said he wasn't because he'd heard rumours about it in the past. This isn't Algieri being salty, seems like it was already known.

All is ''known'' after the fact.

the WBC and canelo is a prime example .....golovkin warned the world about him and here we are and he’s still being proclaimed as the worlds number 1 fighter....a fighter that couldn't hurt a journey man 154lber but now walks around like a tank breaking 168lbers arms......that the worlds number one boxing cheat right there folks

[no.1P4P]

[moochi]

Become popular before getting caught, get caught, deny it or blame others... you still remain popular and still fight on after your 6 month suspension lol.

Just ask the rest, they did it and it worked.

[BodyBagz]

Yes, I get it.

The reality is that the "piers" in the sport don't care; don't want to spend the $$; don't want to stop it.
