Conte joins up with.....

Amir Khan. Apparently the two of them developed a new fitness programme for "King" Khan.

yeah son!

Oh dear... not exactly a great idea for PR...

Thick as I am, I wondered what was controversial about teaming up with John Conteh. Thank god for Uncle Google!! Silly boy if it is true as the accusations will fly.

Nothing wrong with that. Conte is watched like a hawk and I doubt he wants to do bird again. He's a great sports nutritionist.

Conte is good value

"I'm wanting to cheat" Is what it SOUNDS like.

How so?

Hopefully he also signs up to the voluntary Donaire does who works with Conte as that takes away some of the stigma you get for pairing with a steroid dealer.

Former steroid dealer who helps the authorities on catching cheats. Conte has paid his dues. Give him a break.

You slated Peterson for being a cheat so how can you condone Conte's involvement in the sport? Different rules depending on if you like them or not?

When Conte was a cheat I slated him. I have no opinion on Conte as a person. He is not a boxer and doesn't hit anyone for money.

Peterson on the other hand took them to give him an advantage in a very dangerous sport.

Well now that Peterson is clean he should be fine and have no issues with you.

So it's ok to take them in non-contact sport but not in a contact sport?

Well no. Peterson should have been stripped of the title at the very least. He got off very lightly imo.

But as he's paid his dues, he should be allowed to fight given what the rules are. Personally I support a lifetime ban on boxers taking steroids or masking agents.

If you don't see the difference with steroids in contact and non contact sports them I feel sorry for you.

Cheating is cheating, in any sport. Also your own point contradicts itself - he should be allowed fight but then you say it's worse to take PED's in contact sports. Excellent logic.

Well yes. But cheating in a sport which has claimed lives and severe injuries is a little more severe than some sprinter juicing to run faster.

No contradiction whatsoever.

Of course it's a contradiction. You say not ok to cheat especially in a contact sport and then in the next line say you've no problem with him fighting. That is a contradiction.

So he's an honest cheat in your eyes and has served his time. Please don't criticise the boxing organisations in future for their stances on drugs if this is your moronic outlook on it.

What part of he paid his dues don't you understand? What part of PERSONALLY I support a lifetime ban on boxers caught juicing are you struggling with?

It's not hard to understand, it's just flawed is all. Drugs user's ok to fight as long as they get a ban as that's what the organisations say. Anyway I'm off work now, adios.

According to the rules he is allowed to fight. He was suspended and returned with IBF belt. Rules applied and free to box. Understand?

My personal opinion is that he should be banned for life? See the difference? I doubt it, but carry on.
