Comments Thread For: Joshua Admits That Parker's Steroid Taunts Got Under His Skin

[Mr Objecitivity]

Fair enough, don't disagree regarding the testing standards, like you said before, not enough funding, I guess it's the age old 'the robbers get paid more than the cops' problem which always keeps them a step ahead.

You do seem to be saying something about B Sides being conspired against and A Sides being given leniency, I don't agree, but thats mainly because I don't see any evidence.

I'm not totally naive btw, I believe some fights still get fixed, I believe some back room deals get done on multi fight deals or step asides and money changes hands. I believe injuries or boxer issues definitely get brushed under the carpet and this insider info probably gets to the ears of some people that might benefit from it and not for general release. I think on the circuit there is also some things like PED use that are known about but again it's kept quiet. But, drug testing results being manipulated or focused only on catching the B side opponent and not the star...I don't think so, but hey, anythings possible I suppose.

Thanks for the consideration!

Well, the evidence is available, based on the fact that not a single A side boxer has been busted for PED when they almost always look more muscular with less fat but it's always the B side boxer who usually looks fatter and less muscular that gets busted for PED. if you're going to claim that 100% of all A side boxers who are more muscular looking with less body fat are always clean and natural whilst 100% of all boxers that have ever been busted for performance enhancing drugs have always been the fatter, less muscular looking B side boxers and also claim that such a result is accurate and that drug testing is credible and accurate based on such a result. Then all I can state is you're living in denial and rejecting reality.

You're denying the fact that between a fat, less muscular looking boxer and a muscular looking boxer. The muscular boxer with less fat is MORE LIKELY to be on performance enhancing drugs than the fatter boxer. When 100% of all boxers that have been busted for performance enhancing drugs have been fatter relatively speaking, then that alone disproves any notion of drug testing being a tool to clean up boxing and to provide an even playing field with consideration for athlete's safety.

All I'm stating is that you keep an open minded view / perspective and be ready to question status quo. Irrespective of how common or widely accepted certain views are.

I'm not criticizing Anthony Joshua because at least he isn't claiming other are on performance enhancing drugs whilst being on it himself. That's what Wilder is doing. My point is, a boxer being on performance enhancing drugs or getting busted for it in the 21st century means very little in the way of evaluating the quality / performance level of a boxer. If a boxer consumes performance enhancing drugs in the 21st century and becomes a world champion, then I haven't got any problems and will consider that boxer a legitimate champion provided all his opponent are allowed to take performance enchaining drugs too.
