          hmmm......

          wlad was part of that soviet/ex-soviet olympic athlete system. remember big bro's ped admission? same system.

          marquez seemed clean for most career but then he hooked up with memo.

          hopkins growth hormones, hgh.

          floyd and his IV and TUE.
          Unsubstantiated, false rumors, everyone wearing a tin foil hat. Especially when there guys loses, the one's who beat them become PED abusers.

                  Performance enhancing drugs.

                  Marquez willing to drink his own pee to get an edge, you think he would balk at a banned substance? Klitchko is basically drago... and Floyd .... I been thought he was on something for years.. this whole clean up the sport routine was too tryhard.. reminds me of a saying....

                  He who protests too loudly....

                    peds are a necessary good,

                    not evil.

                    its time people and more importantly, sports fans start realizing that.

                      PEDs, healthier diets, and knowledge of our body.

                      I'm pretty sure Gene Tunney didn't know wtf carbohydrates were.

                      Although pre-1960 I think most guys averaged 60+ fights before 35.
