It isn't a simple binary decision. If you want to say that all "cheating" is equal and deserving of the same penalty, you would have to consider a definition of what cheating is.

I would argue that a rich boxer with a good trainer and equipment could be considered cheating if he's preparing to fight a poor man with poor equipment.

It's a way to gain an unfair advantage, as are all other forms of "cheating". If it were a blanket ban, rich fighters would have to share their training with the opponent or be banned for life.

The subtleties make each case unique, and they should be reviewed on a case by case basis.

Fury took steroids too. Y'all keep that same energy when talking about him

I think the writer is saying that cheating is wrong period, where you do something blatantly obvious like remove padding from a glove or something more subtle like take PEDs. The connection is in the intent behind both, which is to gain an unfair advantage against your opponent

In one instance, equipment was altered. That immediately effects the health of an opponent. I can't think of a single instance where drugs injured anyone.

You wouldn't see it though, to be fair. You can't look at a man and tell if his strength or speed has been enhanced by artificial means, you'd just see the results on the beaten opponent.

You can see an opponent being hospitalized due to being bashed by a drug user.

AJ was getting lumped up anyway. Big baby just wanted to fortify AJ's skull with a few extra lumps, that's all.

The **** will hit the fan in one of two ways for boxing .

1) when A heavyweight household name seemingly clean kills someone in the ring and found to be a drug cheat .

2) when one of very few female fighters who can fight kills one of the many overmatched female fighters with a padded out record who are pushed forward desparetly due to media branding and desperate lack of quality for the few who can fight ..

I think it’s acceptable to give fighters a second chance after they get caught once so long as they serve out the punishment they’re given. However, there should be no third chances, and honestly I agree that it’s a farce that Miller is fighting again barely even a year after he blew his second chance so spectacularly. Sports are too soft on PED abuse in general but it’s especially inexcusable in boxing where the risk of injury is so much more severe.

Shouldn't this article be written by hack Tomas Hauser? Oh yea, he only writes hit pieces on Hearn and his fighters. On top of that, he's also a gooooood buddy with Bob. What a scumbag!
btw, Billy Collins was promoted by To Prank.

Jarell "****tail" Killer will be returning in an attempt to take another life. The people that don't understand what the point of the article was about are the same people who hate Floyd Mayweather and Deontay Wilder. ****tail Killer was the original cherrypick for the hype job in the US before he failed. And I remember all the hype jobs fanatics trying to defend that cherrypick. Then he got replaced by an even bigger cherry-pick at the last minute: Andy Ruiz. ****tail Miller knew he was a cherrypick and did what he could to even the playing field. He noticed the **** in NYC were bigger than natural and followed one back to its hideout. Then told the mad scientist responsible, "I'll have whatever they're having."

Fugh the right off

You ain’t any better Mr judge and jury
The love of faith goes a long way
Live and fughin learn

The sport is made of murders and drug dealers.

If it wasn’t for them , honestly , there would be no sport called boxing
And no matter what , they will always have their tentacles involved
Drugs sex and rock’n’roll
Should be the theme
Ahhhh , they’ll just brush it under the carpet
