In the latest in a round of interviews publicizing his
challenge for Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko's three world titles
in Dusseldorf at the weekend, the controversial Fury said he
could tell if any sportsman had been doping.
"I can look at a man and tell you if he's full of drugs by one
glance at his body with his top off," he told BBC radio. "Boxing
has got a big problem with drugs.
"Why don't they make drugs totally legal in sports and then it
would be fully fair?
"You can't tell me these sports people aren't taking drugs when
they look like Greek gods.
"You can train for 100 years and your body will never look like
that.
"But if a man wants to pump himself full of drugs it's only
shortening his life."
Robert Smith, general secretary of the British Boxing Board of
Control, told the BBC on Tuesday that he did not believe doping
was a major problem in the sport.
A statement from board said it was "committed in its fight
against drug use in professional boxing" and has "an extensive
program of out-of-competition testing and in-competition
testing".
