    You do make some good points that i am not qualified to answer. I was writing a long post when i realized that i was just translating the article that you won't read in it's entirety. Everything is in it in terms of context, i don't feel like translating it as it is quite a lengthy text. From his childhood to the name of the small time gang he was a part of to it's affiliation to how he met the girls, the age range of the victims and how the situation went downhill. Prison,what happened to Guy Langlois, court and post prison with footnotes at the end with his accusations. I feel it should answers most of your inquiries but i will leave that up to you. Let's just leave it at that because in the end we both would like for him to pull through in the best possible condition.

    Do you know what caused the ban and why they brought it back?
    I can't recall if there was any specific fight that prompted the ban. I just assumed that too many boxers were getting hurt/ brain damaged, or killed.

    I also don't know what led to them re-instituting boxing. I expect that it was probably due pro-boxing advocates and the knowledge that the rest of the world were still doing it. Could be that the current maximum 12 round fights are viewed as safer than the 15 rounders that they had back in the 70's and early 80's. That may have given the boxing advocates some ammunition as to why boxing can be consider safer now days than it was back in the past.

Tonight there were ring doctors talking about shortening fights from 12 rounds to 10 rounds. They mentioned that Sweden only allows 4 round fights and both Norway and Sweden had actually banned the sport of boxing for 35 years or so at one point. Between 1970 to 2007 for Sweden ..if I recall correctly...and Norway banned it between approximately 1982 and 2014.

    As for enforcing **** it would require to prove the victims expressed to the gang specifically that they wanted to stop. By the accounts i read the girls were each in love with a gang member and knew what they were getting in to, of course manipulation played a part but i don't know how much weight that holds legally.

    There still is one issue IMO RE the inmate who A.S. kicked in the head. If he was one of the attackers then it is self-defense to knock him out. But I know at least here in the US, if the guy is down and apparently unconscious he is no longer a threat by law. What I read indicates he may have been defenseless at the time. So at that P.I.T. to kick him in the head is not justified by law. indeed if what I read is accurate, he was first charged with attempted murder. That charge was dropped to, I guess simple assault and he only got 1 more month sentence. This to me is part of the oddities or favoritism as I doubt that that would be the usual thing since the guy had severe brain trauma and was comatose.

    Has anybody found what long term effects that guy suffered? The KO is well justified, but what state was that guy left in for the rest of his life?

    Likewise for the women, who apparently all wanted to stop. I believe that actually is **** if they wanted to quit and were forced to continue "prostituting" themselves against their will, the enforcers are involved in ****.

    Again the more I investigate or ponder this the worse it seems, and the more favoritism I sense.

    This is a really bad look for the sport of boxing, or at least it should be. Sad that boxing is so small time in the United States that the sports media doesn't care about the safety of its athletes. This would have sparked a national discussion about concussions and brain injuries if something like this happened to an NFL player.
