But he is, therefore the best thing you can do (if you can afford it) is have a guy like this personally monitoring your data and adjusting things down to a science.

    Everything they're doing with oxygen manipulation is designed to emulate the effects of EPO. Will it be as effective? Absolutely not, but will it be effective? Certainly, and it's legal. As untrustworthy as he may be, that's all I think Conte is doing with SNAC, using his valuable expertise to enhance athletic performance within the legal constraints of the sport.

    I say this because many of the high profile boxers he works with (Crawford, Haney, Mikey Garcia, Claressa Shields) show no signs of PED use. As someone who has done steroids myself, once you do, the signs become incredibly easy to spot in other people. That doesn't necessarily mean people who do not exhibit the signs are guaranteed to be clean, but it does mean that those who do exhibit the signs are guaranteed to be dirty.

    Point being, I don't believe SNAC is just a front for supplying undetectible PEDs like BALCO was, so since it's allowed, top tier athletes who are able would be foolish not to make use of it.

    To borrow Breadman’s words, “Whenever subjective assessment is the topic, CONTEXT is the number 1 thing that has to be taken into consideration.

    So let’s do that. Boxing is a dangerous and unforgiving sport. We’ve seen boxers injured, corrupt judges, and BS score cards as well as outright ducks so when Conte is still thriving after going to prison for doping big name fighters, it is insane to have him around the sport.

    This would be like having a teacher who is a convicted pedophǐle come back to teach kids in school just because he served his time. It is asinine.

      I don't go by the Alphabet belts. I know who the best fighters are in each division , the Alphabet Soups are corrupt and don't even follow their own rules half of the time.
      I just don't get how the author came up with two undisputed because if by going with not losing them in the ring, it will be three and if considering email strip, it is one and there isn't a way to get two regardless.

      Granted given the lack of quality writers here these days, I'd guess it is likely either that the author either forgot about one of Inoue or Usyk, or remembered Usyk getting stripped recently but forgot that Bud had already been stripped last year.
