Who knows? If there's no "proof" that an athlete has used, well it doesn't mean that athlete didn't get help from some chemist who was ahead of the curve.
I know Tommy Hearns and Manny Steward accused Sugar Ray Leonard of using steroids. Not much became of that, but none of us were around Ray all that time to know whether or not he was clean or dirty. Hell, the NSAC didn't even test that fight for steroids, but they did for recreational drugs. Apparently it was a lot worse in their opinion for a fighter to smoke joints throughout training camp than to inject themselves with anabolic steroids.
