Dublin Coach outlines hardline PEDs stance
Paschal Collins says he would ādrop kickā his fighters out of his gym if he found out they were using performance-enhancing drugs.
The drugs issue more than just reared its head last week, it took centre stage in the sporting world, as a failed Connor Benn test prompted his proposed fight with Chris Eubank Jr to be cancelled along with the āBorn Rivalsā card.
The entire boxing world expressed an opinion as the news broke and as Matchroom and Wassermanās tried to ensure the eagerly anticipated clash still went ahead.
Collins didnāt comment directly on Benn, a son of his brother Steve Collinsās former rival, Nigel Benn, but did let his feelings on doping be known.
The respected and experienced coach says no to drugs and has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to PEDS.
Speaking online ,Collins labelled doping cheats ācowardsā and said he would permanently expel anyone from his gym if they doped.
āIf any of my fighters tested positive or if I ever found out they were taking Peds they would be drop-kicked out the front door never to return. No room in our sport for cheating cowards,ā he said online.
