I agree that I am so tired of steroid use in boxing. But I think for those who say that’s why they don’t watch boxing anymore, I hope they don’t watch baseball, football, basketball, track & field, cycling & ect. Steroids are used in every major sport. If they could do random blood testing on some of the athletes in other sports right now these same people will be very surprised. So I am mad at Andre Berto because he’s messing up what can be a great rematch as well as his own body. But steroid use is a problem in professional sports in general. Boxing isn’t the only one that needs to get clean.
