Ward still under PED su****ioun.

What do you think about Ward's camp seeing that Kessler was stacking his gloves, using excessive amounts of tape and gauze and had to rewrap them?

Why not make a thread about that and adress the topic that is in this thread instead of trolling it?

So you have no problem with Ward employing Conte?

Of course not. I think Ward is smart enough to find out exactly what he is putting in his body. I think its smart to affiliate yourself with someone as knowledgable as Conte and being he is under heavy scrutiny it would be unwise to go down the same dreadful road he once did, he was doing the right thing for a number of years, but went wrong for a few years. Banks and even the FBI employ past criminals to catch others because they had the knowledge to undermine their restraints in the first place so as long as Ward remains smart about the whole thing I have no problem with it.

Ok so he is with Conte but I have no reason to believe Ward is on anything. He's always been a very good boxer, He didnt just start off ordinary and then all of a sudden become extroadanary like Pacquiao.

All I want is a level playing field. Untill there's random testing before world title fights fighters will be under the microscope and Ward looks bad here.

It could simply be that CONTE really is that good and knows the human anatomy that well.


I mean he knows contes history so to me WARD doesnt look su****ious, as it would be obvious to think hes using when he stated personally hes behind mayweather in clean fighting and better testing.

Andre Ward still enjoys the services of ex-con and former CEO of BALCO Victor Conte aka the godfather of PED's in the US.

So earlier reports of Conte being fired by Ward was false.

PS: Thanks to Burner for directing my attention to the article. Unfortunately I cannot respond in his thread because he, for whatever reason, has me on iggy.

Sounds su****ious. Great post!

him and every other boxer out there. Until they have a real testing program nothing surprises me and none of these guys are above su****ion. It is simple human nature to seek an advantage, but as the article from Frank Warren stated the guys caught cheating, even Mosley whom I like, should not go into the HOF.

Just curious how many years before boxing tries to implement a real system?

My guess it ill take a very public tragedy to force a change and even then that may not be enough.

I don't think a tragedy is needed. The keys are the broadcasters. If they suspect the sport isn't pure and the public doesn't want to see cheaters they will refuse to broadcast.

That was the road taken by major networks in Europe in the wake of massive PED scandals in cyclling (Tour De France). So now there is a groundbreaking system in place with where-about-schemes and random testing. It's not bulletproof at all, but we're getting there.
