I haven't read all the posts...this thread is out of control. But here's my two cents on the whole PED/steroids issue:
Steroids and PEDs have infected the sports world at-large and will unfortunately be with us for a long time to come. Baseball, where steroids have gotten the greatest attention, has been irrevocably tainted by PEDs. No baseball player is beyond su****ion, in my opinion, not even the scrubs. The same can be said for boxing (or any other sport, for that matter).
I'm not saying Floyd, for instance, uses any illegal substances to gain and edge. But why should he, or anyone else, be considered beyond reproach? If there's money to be made, you better believe people will cheat. Hell, even if it's just for "prestige", people will cheat. It's always been this way. PEDs are just another way for people to do so.

He is just another journo with an agenda that suit his liking, Everyone seem to have something to gain and what was written here isn't facts but factual.

That said, I hate to play devil's advocate, but I do remember reading an article a few months ago about USADA throwing out samples during the lead up to Quillin-Wright bout. I was like "WTF"?

Too much money to be lost watching fighters shrink or all of a sudden look like crap. These networks rely on the promoters and even a non-promoter like Haymon does so much for them (getting them concerts for acts like Beyonce, etc.) that they'd be hard-pressed to put heat on his fighters.
In the end, does this surprise anyone here? I give Floyd the benefit of the doubt because he raised the issue and dammit it needed to be heard. And I'm so thankful he did because it's brought us here. But his reaction to that Montoya question...good Lord. That had guilt written all over it and it has stayed with me for the past few months since. And I'm not afraid to admit that--just like Pac fans shouldn't be afraid to admit that refusing testing is akin to guilt as well. The lid on this pot is shaking and I don't know if we're ready to see what's underneath it.
After Lance, everything's wide open.
Tho I have to admit Lance Armstrong's was a bitter for to swallow (into mountainbiking heavily before) and for someone who apparently singlehandedly lifted the sport thru the years, even establishing LIVESTRONG which prolly inspired more lives than any sport charity, after all those, damn!
Time to get 'em Ariza shakes checked

There was nothing really new in this article, but I'm intrigued by the next part. The worst is yet to come.
