Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Concerned About Reputation, Legacy After Drug Ban: 'I Don't Want to Be Remembered for This'

[Phase III]

Legacy? His legacy is three fold. 1. He’s a cheat 2. AJ ****** his woman. 3. His jaw was made of Jello. He made lots of money while fraudulently cheating the public. What a bloke!

perfect example of giving too much fame and fortune to a boxer too early before they deserve it.

same thing happened to gamboa.

I don't know what he's so concerned about. Being remembered for a failed drug test is better than being known as a guy who constantly got ktfo.

Oh, don't worry, it's just boxing, no one will care.

Sadly, the one sport where it could actually kill you is the one people care the least about :shrug:

When they test positive for tiny amounts, such as Jon Jones, it doesn’t mean they were taking a tiny amount. It means they took a **** load during camp, and then screwed up when cleaning out their system. I could juice put on 25 lbs of pure muscle, then cycle off and a month later I’m clean again. Trace amounts of these substances shouldnt be there period. There is the odd case of contamination so it is possible he’s innocent of knowingly taking anabolics. But ignorance is not innocence. An elite athlete should not be taking random contaminated pre-workouts off the shelf.

Both Jones and Canelo amount if an athelete testing for that amount now it would not be a pos test anymore. Regarding Khan if you read the statement he had 3 tests, it says he was fortunate to have a test 1 week before the fight that was negative (3 in the month before the fight), and then failed the sample taken on fight night, so they did ban him strict liability but that was the argument that it was unlikely he took anything intention as it could only have been on the week of the fight and the micro dose was 1000th of what would be needed for any performance benefit

His reputation for being the best stanky leg will never diminish.
They were all natural.

Fighting a roider is safer than fighting a natural boxer.

Texas did a random pre-fight drug screen for my last fight. I knew I'd fail for marijuana, but I didn't know my migraine medication would pop for barbiturates. I know it was that medicine, butalbital, because I took two before my fight, and my levels for barbiturates were two times the limit.

Had I know that medicine was prohibited, I just would have taken some Tylenol, or just waited after the fight; the medicine has ABSOLUTELY ZERO performance benefit. And, marijuana is marijuana; if anything, it hindered me, because, although it was in my system, I was not high during my bout- and I train high all the time. So, if it wasn't in my system, I would have been more prepared not having any during fight night.

I don't want to be known as a cheat, either, but I'm making zero excuses; I know what was in my system, how it got there, and why. And, I accept responsibility.

Khan- and anyone else who pops dirty- needs to do the same.

Uh….little bit of a drama queen…don’t think he knows he’s a bit irrelevant at the moment. Don’t endorse cheating, but seriously, nobody cares.
