Forget about doping bans. Boxers Take PEDs should do Time

[D4thincarnation]

Let's forget these doping bans, that are none existent in Clenelo's case.

If you are caught using PEDs for a boxing fight you get charged with assault with a deadly weapon just like Resto did for loading his gloves.


Should this be the law?

I agree. If they test positive they should be locked up and that will stop doping pretty fast

[satiev1]

That's absurd. So if you have a garbage fighter taking ped's he should go to prison regardless if he sucks and can't hurt a fly. Ummm no.

[lopetego]

No, they shouldn't

a lenghty ban is more than enough in case of PEDs, and only if there's real evidence

no need to take things out of proportion

Trying to KO someone that could change their life while on PEDs should be a crime.

Nothing to worry about if you're clean.

You cant make arbitrary laws like that

PED use is rampant in combat sports, specially in the lower levels

all this "strict PED testing" culture thing, you only see it at the world level

there are countless bums, C, D level club fighters in box and MMA using PEDs and nobody cares, nobody will pay to VADA test them either.

It'd be unfair to be jailing world level fighters for something that plenty of ppl in the lower layers of the sport do and get away with it all the time.

Agreed. Same if you refuse to test. Treat it like DUI.

[boliodogs]

I don't agree that a boxer who test positive should do jail time. I also doubt any PED is so effective that they turn a boxer's fists into deadly weapons if his fists were not deadly weapons before taking that PED. Is there any scientific proof that any PED makes a boxer punch harder and turn his non deadly fists into deadly fists? There have been terrific punchers in boxing and many ring deaths long before any PEDS were around. Do any PED using boxers fighting today punch harder pound for pound than SSR, Joe Louis,or Marciano? What Resto did is not the same as using PEDs. I am all for strict testing and suspending boxers who test positive for banned PEDs. I am against sending them to jail.

[Rubber Ducky]

Doping in general should be reclassified as a criminal offence. France, Australia and Italy have already done so. Doping is fraud pure and simple, you are deceiving people for personal gain.

[DARKSEID]

I am absolutely for this. Send them to jail.

Using ped's in a combat sport can be disastruous for the opponent. It can be life altering or life destroying. Sometimes literally if your opponent dies. We've had clean fighters kill other fighters before what more with steroids.

There is no excuse for peds. There should be harsher penalties as a deterrent as well as fairness.
