    Exactly!!! Am sure the guy has been in boxing for atleast 15 years so you would know what to take and not take, And if he has any medical reasons why he need to take anything then he can provide the NSAC with certificates to that effect.

    The guy is just a steriod freak and him getting caught has nothing to do with a mere inhaler thats required to treat asthma.

    Steroids and other anti-inflammatory drugs can decrease the symptoms of asthma. Learn more from WebMD about how they work.

              If Pac wasn't in the "situation" he's in right now people would be bashing Briggs to hell right now. The fact that Pac is on the topic, he's being defended. Crazy world.

              again, "The System" ALWAYS works until it fails.

              Random blood/urine work would have stopped or "corrected" the situation so we don't get this kind of bad publicity in boxing. Even if its legit or not.

              Bad timing for Pac, no? Especially since he's in court "fighting". Maybe this is why he wants an apology instead of "fighting" in the courts.

              Bad bad timing for Pac, no?

                i had asthma but outgrew it. yes asthma medication involves alot of steroid. i came up hot on a piss test back in highschool when i played football. results, were positive because i used an inhaler that was a steroid.

                  So ****ing what. It's not the same steroids used to enhance muscle growth nor the same kind they test for.

                  What a JOKE!

                    Oh yeah? He's a known asthma victim, how the **** has he fought for this many years and not popped a test before?

                      You don't know what he tested positive for.

                      The reason I don't think it was intentional, is no one needs to steroids to beat Marcus McGee. He generally tumbles over when the wind blows or loses an almost shutout decision when he steps up against anyone half way decent.

                      I am willing to bet it was an innocent mistake. I am not going to convict the guy without further information like some seem to do.
