      If only it was that simple. If the media wants to, they could point out to Valero's head injuries despite of which he was still allowed to box, which to some extent may have affected his actions.

        You're a dumb ass idiot, the news is already reporting **** saying that boxing is a violent sport and that is one of the reasons he killed his wife. They are already blaming boxing, genius.

                This is exactly what I was thinking. After Benoit's death, the WWE got real strict with there drug policy. Some **** called the Wellness Policy. Boxing might do the same to save face

                  Its sad to see a boxing champ pass the way he did. It was even sadder to see how he lived his life outside of the ring. As much as I loved his tenacity in the ring and his bravado to even have his country and president tattooed across his chest I hated what he has become. A addict that took a young mother away from her children for good. He killed himself and may Allah SWT have mercy on his soul.

                    What happened to Valero wasn't in any way related to boxing. If he would have died in the ring, then that might have been a different story.

                    Doctors said that years of wrestling and blows to the head could have caused Benoit to kill his family. Boxing is going to get a lot of bad press over this.

                      Strict?

                      They didn't change anything.

                      More than half of those guys are on steroids.Less than 10% are released from their contracts.
