Teper fought Fury's compatriot, David Price, who was knocked
out during the fight. In retrospect, the signs were there that
Teper was using steroids. He was hyper, all over the ring, firing
off shots with no sign of fatigue. The Teper defeat has been
struck from Price's record and recorded as a no contest. Under
the circumstances, it is appropriate that the defeat not be
counted against Price, as the playing field was not level.

Tony Thompson
This is the second time Price has lost to a steroids user.
Price's first defeats in the ring were at the hands of Tony
Thompson, who defeated him twice. These losses derailed Price's career, destroyed his
confidence and cost him money. When such incidents occur, the
defeated party should be given the winner's purse. Fair is fair.

As stated in past articles, confidence is very
important in sports. It can mean the difference between winning
and losing. Once an athlete's confidence is shaken, it needs to
be repaired and rebuilt, in order to help them reach their full
potential, in overcoming what is a significant sporting
obstacle. You have to get your mental game in order, believing
you are worthy and can win.
