In a recent case of he-said-she-said, several prominent members of the boxing community have been throwing around steroid allegations about each other. The allegations first started when Floyd Mayweather's uncle, Roger Mayweather, said that both Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan juice. His exact quote was as follows:<\/p>\n

The only reason Amir Khan has become the fighter he is, is because he's got those steroids in his ass too. The same thing Pacquiao's got in him. I know because those motherf***ers told me.<\/em><\/p>\n

Buy steroids through the mail without getting busted by the feds<\/a><\/p>\n

Seeing as how professional boxing supposedly has rules in place against steroids, Khan didn't take to these accusations lightly, and told reporters:<\/p>\n

I have been drug tested every time - so many times I've lost count. And I have never failed one of them. Ihave been tested out of training camp and in training camp - even answering unexpected knocks at my door to comply. I have proved I am a clean fighter.<\/em><\/p>\n

Khan took things a step further and questioned whether or not Floyd Mayweather is clean since he \"looked so much bigger\" when he fought Oscar De La Hoya in 2007. He said:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not for me to say but quite a few people over here wondered if Floyd was on something when he fought Oscar De La Hoya because he suddenly looked so much bigger.<\/em><\/p>\n

Obviously I could care less if these guys use steroids since I'm the research director for a bodybuilding site that deals heavily in the subject. However, I think it's funny how these guys are lobbing juicing accusations back-and-forth like some gossipy middle school girls.<\/p>\n
