What % of Top Boxers Are On PED's?

[Gino Ros]

Let's assume guys in the Top 20 in each division. Champions, contenders, and top prospects.

What percentage of Top Boxers are on any form of PED's?

Steroids
Testosterone
HGH
Clenbuterol
Diuretics
Stimulants
EPO
Etc

...all WADA banned substances

Well about 10% of MLB was on the infamous 2003 list of players that tested positive, and that was probably the peak. So I'd say 10-20% in boxing probably.

[Roman Moreno]

Very high.

[Gino Ros]

WHats considered a "Top Boxer"?

That is defined in the OP

That was misleading because tons of guys cycled off when the tests were coming

I think numbers about 50% would be way too high, and so would 30-40% to me. When MLB was at it's peak PED wise, still only 10% or so of the players in 2003 tested positive. That's rampant though, because it means over 100 something MLB players were using PED's. Now with top boxers, I'd say 10-20%. That's rampant though,think about how division there are and how many top fighters.

BTW thread is worded bad, not all of those are PEDs

WADA considers all of those as PEDs.
Are you more qualified than WADA?

At least 70%. I think it's that bad, and that easy to cheat the system.

I'd say 10-20%, could be 30-40% at the highest I think. Anything more would be shocking to me still.

If you are using MLB as the benchmark, think about how many are smart enough to bypass the system, which in MLB was very easy to do. Then think about how much easier it would be to cheat in boxing, where promoters will cover up major stars that test positive.

I think it's a crazy and disheartening number.
