Wayne McCullough says boxing should be ashamed of its stance on fighters who have failed tests

Last week Lance Armstrong admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs to win at any cost and the International Cycling Union took a big stand.

He had been stripped of his Tour de France wins. He has been stripped of his Olympic bronze medal from 2000 by the IOC. He got blacklisted from cycling. His sponsors will probably try to get their money back and he will never be in the Hall of Fame. I definitely to take my hat off to the cycling federation for taking a tough stand but it was the right one. In boxing, some fighters got their decisions overturned, got suspended, lost their belts but others didn't. The difference in cheating in cycling and boxing is that cycling took a bigger stand. In cycling these drugs make you go faster but in boxing you are intentionally hitting another person, you have more strength and power and you could ultimately kill your opponent. Do these fighters honestly not have a conscience or any concerns about taking these drugs? Cycling took a stand and boxing should definitely take a leaf out of their book. Boxing should be ashamed of the stand, or lack of, that they take with fighters who have failed tests. They should ban any fighter who fails a test, strip them of all their belts and they should never be allowed in the ring again. And in my opinion none of these fighters should ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
