Mia St. John: ‘Everyone’ in boxing does PEDs
Ex-fighter Mia St. John, who of late has been working to honor the memory of her late son, who suffered with mental illness, has stirred up a hornets nest with her declaration that PED is rampant in the sport.
St. John, who combined a willingness for comabt with an attractive physical package, and in fact parlayed her aesthetic appeal and fame into a Playboy pictorial in 1999, weighed in on the PED matter late in the week.

She sought to take the side of Canelo Alvarez, who was punished for having a banned agent, clenbuterol, in his system earier this year. Basically, the 51 year old St John said, everyone’s doin’ it, so Gennady Golovkin should quit attacking the Mexican, and simply not box Canelo if he feels so strongly about it.
No small number of active fighters piped up on social media, and slammed St. John, who took up pro boxing at age 29, for saying that she feels like PED usage is wickedly rampant.
Tony Bellew, Carl Frampton, Amanda Serrano and Sergio Mora and others said no, they go with hard work and dedication, not shady chemical aides.

St. John followed up with an interview with the LA Times’ Lance Pugmire, in which she told the journalist details on her own usage of performance enhancers.
St. John last fought in 2016, and holds a 49-14-2 record. She worked for the top promoters in the sphere, including Bob Arum and Don King, and some of the women who lead the field now are speaking up against her. One can also note it is interesting to see who is being conspicuously quiet about the kerfuffle.
The ex-fighter debuted in 1997, and told Pugmire she’s seen evidence of usage in plenty of other fighters, but didn’t want to name names. Basically, one can infer who is not clean by noting who is in what camp, with what other fighters, and figure out who was a user, she says.
My three cents: The hornets will, I think, be buzzing for a spell more, as St. John has really hit raw nerves with her declarations.

Yall need to stop shytting on Thurman.
The man got hurt, he isn't ducking anyone, he was plagued by injuries, simply as that.
Give the man a chance to come back from injury and show us something because the bullshyt armchair psychology or the talk of him ducking or being afraid.

damned mine eyes, DAMNED mine eyes!!
That’s fine, just drop the final title and come back in a couple of years when you’re ready.
why should he.drop his titles so your fav boxer can fight for a vacant title and freeze him out. Smh
He’s a top name in the division now, with or without a title. He wouldn’t get frozen out. He’s undefeated. He’s past being on the come up.
You seem to be taking this way too personally.
You are projecting if you think im taking any if this personally. That said sgain its not Thurmans fault he has been injured and it isnt his responsibility to drop the titles he has earned. Thats on the sanctioning bodies, makes no sense to even try toplace that burden on him.

Title. He's already dropped the WBC.
He's so injured that he's sparring strangers on the mean streets of Kathmandu and throwing out first pitches at the start of the baseball season with the injured arm. I don't know why you guys act as if a boxer losing his killer instinct before or doing all he can to delay the inevitable is something new.
if he says he is injured and he is getting treatment he is injured. Stop with the mde up allegtions to attack the man. By the way the WBC stripped him. Angel Garcia says Keith Thurman was stripped of WBC title

Will you stop posting that crack addict. I already debunked one Angel Garcia (Danny beating Crawford at the Olympic Trails) claim already in this post.
Thurman wasn't stripped. He vacated the belt. He made the announcements on his social media pages and in interviews.
"Due to my rehabilitation from my injuries, I agreed to relinquish my WBC title at this time. I continue to rehab my hand and elbow and I look forward to getting back in the ring this summer. This is a temporary setback and I will be the unified champion once again and look forward to winning back my WBC title as soon as possible." - Keith Thurman
I hate you Googlin' MFers. You're the type of new day, casual fan 78 was talking about yesterday.

Keith showed you he was stripped when he said he agreed to give up the belt if he did it of his own free choice he wouldnt have had to agree with anyone he.would have.just done it. Read between the lines
Thurman was stripped in front of the world like none other breh.....
Thurman: I needed one or two tune ups before I fight the top level guys
Suliaman: Thurman has Two mandatory, Porter than Danny Garcia
Ellie: So thurman has a Choice
Suliaman: No
Then fast forward o the Porter fiasco; Keith was stripped......WBC gave him a ultimatum and he wanted no parts of Swift or Porter, we saw the Porter fukkery on cam......They forced that title off Thurman dont spout otherwise

Did Floyd vacate the belts or was he stripped?
"Other fighters need to get a chance," Mayweather said. "I'm not greedy. I'm world champion at two different weight classes right now. ... It's time to let other fighters fight for the belt."
I can post more examples if you want.
You need to be worried about your son looking all
three weeks out from the fight.
