Two boxers, Brutus and Floyd, are training to fight each other. Each boxer is considering whether to take steroids to improve his chance of winning the fight. Assume that the boxing association does not have a policy against steroid use. If both boxers take steroids, neither has an advantage and the payoffs (net of health costs) are $3 million per boxer.
