    Fighters who have been accused of steroid use.

    I came across an article from a while back about how Evander Holyfield accused and named dropped Mike Tyson as having used steroids.

    So i started researching a little.

    Mike Tyson
    Evander Holyfield
    Shane Mosley
    Roy Jones Jr
    Manny Pacquiao
    Floyd Mayweather
    Vitali Klitschko
    Amir Khan
    Juan Manuel Marquez

    All top tier level fighters have been CAUGHT or Strongly suspected of using PEDS.

    Is our top fighters of our sport juicing? Whats your say?

    Amir Khan? no sure he belongs on that list, neither does Pacquiao truth be told.

    It's the guys who have failed tests or cheated tests (Tyson) who are most suspect, Holyfield didn't fail or cheat but iirc he was associated with a delivery of PEDs.

        Ah ok.Whats this lidocaine that floyd injects? I know its a pain killer,but surely he can't inject it on fight night?

        Vitali admitting using steroids early in his career took me by surprise as well

        I think it was just the Mayweathers accusing Khan of using roids.

            If its true, then you would have to think they're covering up for the biggest name/face in the sport as not to hurt his earning potential and thus everyone elses percentage of that. Plus a cheeky bribe never seems to hurt.

            I think both those factors (plus industry-wide intimidation) were how Lance Armstrong managed to get away with it for so long.

              He pays off USADA and Kenny Bayless along with Joe Cortez when he was still a ref.


              Floyd is doping, pays the judges, ref and never fights outside of Vegas.

                    Surely it would only hurt Floyds earning potential,not every other boxers.But i know exactly where your coming from and speaking of,like a domino effect right?

                    I found that weird as well.Surely he could get paid the same amount of money fighting elsewhere.Hell he could make even more money fighting elsewhere,which he loves.
