Fighters And Steroids Don't Mix Well With Each Other


The fighting organizations have become powerful entities as sport organizations.  Despite the early success, the fighting organizations still have numerous of bugs within their systems. .  One of the main problems has become steroid policy.  There is a long list of steroid abusers in the fighting organizations that still enable to fight on the card.  The question I want to raise is should the fighters be able to fight after taking such a sport-enhancing drug?  Since the UFC is attempting to be on par with other national televised sports, steroid should be a top priority for fighter safety.  The violence in this sport is immense.  Juicing fighter athletes for fight seems crazy because the other athlete who did not take steroids ends up suffer with his/her body.  Training camps for fighter put the fighters through hell before the fight and injuries are bound to happen.  The pressures for fighter to take steroids to recover faster seem necessary.  These fight organization should have back-up fight incase of an injury emergency rather than make the athletes hid injury.  The policy must change before the fighters. Fighter’s bodies are their investment for providing them with income.
