It will take Russia 100 years to catch up with the US in doping scandals...
That's a whole different topic though
The US is in a boxing dark age. The HWs we worshiped turned out to be feeble cannon fodder when the sport went global.
Can you imagine? Some dude like Eddie Chambers would be an A-list celebrity right now if this was the 1970s. He would be considered the baddest man on the planet next to his only rival deontay wilder. lol. We've come a long way.Last edited by ////; 02-23-2018, 11:08 AM.Comment

It seems like they intentionally made the one thing the Russians were taking illegal, but kept everything the North American stars were taking legal. How come only Russians got popped? We're really supposed to believe no North American stars use PEDs? Ward had unnatural muscle gains and acne all over his back for the rematch, but hey, at least we know Kovalev wasn't taking meldonium! That's what matters!! RJJ got popped for PEDs, but of course only after he stopped making the sport big money. Floyd is rumored to have had dirty tests for actual PEDs (manipulating testosterone/estrogen), but they were covered up. Yet we have Russians being banned for trace amounts of a substance only months after it had been legal, well no **** they still had some in their system.
The whole game is corrupt, and drug testing is now a big part of that. Everyone knows USADA cant be trusted. Now, I hope some writers start shining the spotlight on VADA, because there have actually been more su****ious things happening with VADA recently than with USADA.Comment

Roy Jones Jr did it. Shane Mosley. Floyd is rumored to have done it. BHop never did extra testing so it's not official, but it doesn't take a rocket science to figure out that his 50 year old self going 12 rounds with Kovalev was on ****.
My theory is that ALL the top guys are on ****, but the drug testing organizations are used to limit what certain guys can do in certain fights. They are used to give the money maker, the A-side, an advantage, to make sure the A-side will win. Everyone is allowed to do what they want as they build themselves up, like Kovalev coming up, because they WANT Kovalev to build himself up. They want him to become a name. Then once he's a name, he can be used as the B-side in a big fight vs an American A-side, Ward, and THAT'S when they will ban vitamins the Russians use, or find other ways to limit what Kovalev takes, while, in my opinion, possibly overlooking everything Ward is on. That way, they can make it look like the A-side, Ward, is better, not that it actually worked out that way, and create a new star, and make more money.
After all, I'm sure you'd agree, it's all about the Benjamin's to these people, right? So, that would make sense, because it's an easy way for them to control who wins big fights, and therefore make more money. Just imagine if Mike Tyson never lost to Buster Douglas or Holyfield, how much more money they could have made off his career. Well, I'm guessing they've been imagining about that too, and lately it seems like they've figured out how to make sure the guys they want to win never lose. Just think about it, when is the last time an A-side lost a big fight? Floyd won every fight (officially, anyway). Ward "beat" Kovalev twice. GGG beat Jacobs. Loma beat Walters and Rigo. Canelo got the robbery draw vs GGG.
In fact, the last time an A-side lost a big fight was Pacquiao-Marquez 4! And guess what, that was the ONLY big fight of the last 5 years that didn't have extra drug testing attached!Comment
