    American boxing greats and their PED usage coverup

    1). Roy Jones: tested positive for steroids in 2000.

    2). Floyd Mayweather: tested positive for steroids but saved by USADA.

    3. Fernando Vargas: tested positive for steroids.

    4. Evander Holyfields: was ordering steroids and human growth hormone (HGH) to his house under a fake name.

    5. Shane Moseley: complicit in the whole BALCO steroids case. And he was exposed by Victor Conte.

    6. Bernard Hopkins: a serial steroids user and he refused to take a simple urine test.

    7. Shannon Briggs: notorious steroids user.

    These are just a few names. And isn't it shocking that none of them got banned apart from Shannon Briggs? America is the most corrupt country in the world and also the global PED capital.

    You can add more names.

        Another PED nut. That philly shell was a way to coverup all the steroids intake, lol.

          Lets not forget these guys were "unlucky" to get caught. The only time they were tested was post fight. They were free to roid as much as the want as long as they cleared their system for the test. There'll be countless more that didn't get caught and still is, because the US still does not have mandatory random drug testing. Truly bizarre for such a rich and advanced country. It's like they want their fighters to roid.

            I mean...as an American I honestly roll my eyes when as a country we accuse other groups or countries of doping...when we clearly have a history of that as well...and probably truthfully our athletes have more means to cover up when they test positive...swimming comes to mind recently.

            But yeah the UK is having some pretty big set backs lately...to be honest though I wouldn't be surprised if 50+ of the top 100 athletes in every sport were doping...just seems like to get that top edge you have to be doping generally.

              In boxing you generally see fights announced officially at the 90 days or fewer mark...GGG-Canelo 2 was officially announced just outside of that and perhaps was why Canelo got caught...all the best fighters who are doping have their ways to work around the system.

              Just by looking at when fights are officially announced I think you can get a good idea of whether or not one or both of the fighters are doping...the testing can't officially start until the fight is announced...and they can cycle off before that 90 day mark...the roids will be out of the system and the athlete still gets the benefits on fight night.

                Feel bad for UK fans now Only 5 UK world champions and 3 of your biggest fighters have tested positive/cheated. Saunders Fury and Whyte. Hopefully it’ll get better for you

                  Whyte was cleared to fight after taking a ped test and yanks still have a problem with that.

                    I don’t remember any of them getting caught using steroids before a fight and a state athletic commission just allowing the fight to go on without reason.
