So boxing should allow doping because atm only the rich can afford to use and pay for the best stuff and the best masking agents? But legalising it wouldn't change anything as the prospects with Haymon/Arum/GBP backing would be able to get all the best stuff while the low-earners would have to settle for cheaper, inferior product that would still eat up a good portion of their paycheque but still leave them at a bigger disadvantage than if everyone was clean.

Glad they're getting caught more regularly nowadays, this guy shouldn't have been able to conceal it for 2 years with legal action, lying pos.

I agree with him. They're not preventing PEDs, but they could regulate them. Guys are using in them in uneducated ways causing harm to themselves. With some PEDs it's almost a gray area in the difference between legal/illegal and why one's legal/illegal. They would be leveling the playing field by opening it up to both contestants, not just the one with better connections.
Most PEDs are focused on out of season enhancing, making the body stronger before training camp. Some fighters use high altitude or hypoxic training to get the same benefits/advantages from doping. Yes they sacrifice more to achieve it, but they still show up for a fight with that advantage over their opponent. Some fighters are using cryo-chambers and hyperbaric chambers for faster recovery, again providing them with an artificial advantage. Where's the line and why is it a line? If fighter A has more money for better training, better sparring, and better nutrition isn't that an unfair advantage? What the true purpose of banning PEDs? Fighter A is rich and picks an opponent on short notice, how that less dangerous to Fighter B, than if he had full training camp to prepare for a guy who's on the same/similar supplement as him?
Keep in mind 20 years from now PEDs will be nearly obsolete with genetic manipulation on the horizon. Altering somebody's body to have faster recovery or faster/stronger muscles.
