RogerJones620 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm not going to mention any particular fighter, but let's say that a fighter is suspected of steroid use for a long time. He is never busted with steroids, but during this time period he accrues a lot of wins. One day this fighter fails a drug test for PEDs. Now do you still consider all of his past wins legit, or a product of his steroid abuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12еr Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 It should, but considering how many people think Reem still deserves a shot before Cain..... I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMAJess Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I am very disappointed in any athlete who doesn't use steriods. Clearly they don't care enough and aren't giving it their full effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays_Hero Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yes, you're forever labelled a known cheater and all your accomplishments past and present are questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGS17 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I think if a fan favorite gets busted,it would deff be a black eye on their career but fans won't remember the fighter as they guy tht got popped with roids. If thts the biggest news out of your career...then yes, thts what youre remembered by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hate_Trolls Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I think getting caught doing anything they shouldnt be doing to give themselves an edge hurts their legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaman Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 No, a parade should be thrown in their honour and the confetti would be needles filled with steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GN_FDU Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I would say so. I'd say all of Overeem's fights since becoming a heavyweight are tainted. Same goes for Barnett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even so Barnett is still talked about like a top 10 hw and probably will for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan369 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Their legacy will be tarnished. Just look at MLB for example and the people that have been caught. Don't see any Hall of Fame in their future. Unfortunately it was not illegal in baseball at that time and the owners and MLB was making a lot of money off of it and now hold it against them.

It's gonna be so great when someone currently in the hall of fame comes out and says they used steroids. Then they'll either have to yank them out, or open the flood gates and let everybody in.
