Comments Thread For: Olubamiwo Discusses Punishments For PEDs in Boxing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ahead of Larry Olubamiwo’s return at Prizefighter on Thursday night, the heavyweight contender expanded a little more on his recent ban for using performance-enhancing drugs in an interview with BoxingScene.

Do you feel there’s a discrepancy with the bans that are issued to boxers and is it unfair to certain fighters?

If you get an athlete in any other sport, athletics for instance, they get banned for the same amount of time. It seems like in boxing you get different treatment. In the US, and let me give you an example: James Toney, for his first offence was banned for 90 days. He’d probably take that time off anyway.

He's got a bloody cheek, he was a walking drug lab and admitted to having used a variety of PEDs for years. Personally I think the minimum you should get is a 12 month ban, but that's neither here nor there.
