Comments Thread For: "Fighting Words" - Antonio Tarver Twice Positive, Doubly Done-in

[sicko]

He is already suffering financially with Child Support or whatever. Can't blame anybody but himself.

I do think Steven Cunningham had great idea of suing guys who test positive. You're putting other fighters career and even LIVES at risk when you're fight with that stuff in your system.

Also finding stuff after fighters is the dumb thing ever. WTF is the point of testing if the fight goes on no matter what and the Positive test are not reveal until after the damage is done

Maybe I'm reading this wrong. Is this saying "hey look, there's some T that gotta be from an external source...I mean, the ratio isn't out of whack, but it's just gotta!"

Because if the ratio wasn't out of whack to indicate a banned substance, on what grounds do you punish a guy?

Assuming this is what the writer intended, that basically means one cannot take anything from GNC that purports to support "healthy testosterone levels" despite them all being 100% legal. And that's a scary thing.

Imagine a world of boxing where everyone looks like James Toney.

A substance which supports healthy testosterone levels helps your body raise its own test levels. Tarver got busted for taking testosterone derived from a source outside his body. The guy's just not a cheater, he's a dumb cheater in that he got busted twice.

Notice how Tarver makes a statement like, "....there's no factual basis for their claims." instead of saying he absolutely did not take any banned substances. He just admitted his guilt with his ambiguous argument.
