To answer your questions:
1. Fighters take them because they feel they might perform better with them.
2. Boxing organizations ban them because they claim they don't want fighters to have unfair advantages over others.
Opinion:
1. Just because fighters feel they might perform better with them doesn't mean it is true. Some fighter drink piss and sperm. (Marquez-piss, Alex Reid-sperm)
Fact: Even though some of the best fighters have been caught on PEDs, they've never been caught after a particularly extraordinary performance.
2. Whether boxing organizations ban PEDs or not really has no bearing on the true performance enhancing potential of PEDs in boxing.
1. If I were going to go down your path of thinking. I would conclude that piss and sperm would be banned by boxing organizations also. How about lucky socks or home town advantages????
2. When a fighter is caught that doesn't mean that is when a fighter started using the PED. Therefore basing your opinion on those particular performances is being hopeful that fighters don't beat the system often..... or that the ones who have admitted to cheating are being honest and would not try to avoid putting a cloud over some of their greatest performances.
