    Steroids in boxing

    With the mlb scandal (not a huge fan like i was 10 years ago) i began to worry about the boxing world. are the athletes in boxing more tested than other sports? is there a possibility that boxing has a problem yet it has not surfaced? i know vargas got caught but was he a loner in a clean sport? i love boxing more than any other sport for the reason that i belive, regardless of nationality, all boxers prepare their bodies and minds to the fullest before any fight and all it's done cleanly.... hope i'm never proven wrong!!

    RJ and richard hall got caught too, depends who you are whether it gets swept under the carpet or not, plus with vargas it was so obvious whether its gear to get stronger, recover quicker or lose weight easier its cheating so **** the steroid monkeys

      This has been talked about before, so I'll say now when I said then...using steroids does not make you automatically an evil person. There's a lot of pressure to use, and one person alone cannot take a stand against it. It's hypocritical that we put so much pressure on these guys to win, and make it a situation where they'll either make millions of dollars or be thrown out on the street, and not think that they'll be tempted to do anything to boost their performance. I'm not saying steroids are safe, or should be accepted...what I'm saying is that it is not a black and white situation.

        I've been thinkin alot about this lately. As far as I knew, its harder to get away with in boxing because it's on a more indivisual basis

        It really wrecks your world to find out someone you looked up to is a phoney in certain aspects. I keep my faith in boxing, although I wouldn't call it a clean sport anymore. There's a lot of things about boxing and fighters today that really piss me off
