If everyone can use them then there is no system to beat and it's a level playing field again. Where do we draw the line between illegal substances and substances like creatine.
As long as there is regulation there will always be athletes trying to beat the system in new ways to hit that next level. It's the only way that we can really say there is a level playing field. I know some people will say what about those athletes that don't want to take PED's. Well it's up to them, the same way not every fighter takes the same supplements.
If there were a way to completely eliminate PED's I would be all for it, but I'd rather everyone have an unfair advantage (thus making it fair) than just a select few athletes who cheat the system.
The real concern is health issues, but if boxing could gather itself and create a support network for reducing the health issues we could actually see a higher standard of boxing.
