What people said
John McCarthyVeteran MMA referee, PFL commentator and founder of the C.O.M.M.A.N.D. referee and judge training school
McCarthy argues enhancement is different in combat sports because it increases the damage inflicted on another person.
“But it's different when you're lifting a weight or you're swimming in a pool or doing those things or you're beating on another human being”
