Why is GBP not using OST?

I'm all for OSDT but every promotion should really get behind this movement. We just never know who is and who isn't on PEDs. Like in Baseball, a small time relief pitcher gets busted but only the big name players get the headlines. I think boxing should really think about this and not because Mayweather said so, but because it's the right thing to do

Blood testing isnt a rule in the sport yet. Its a choice that clean fighters usually take to protect themselves from dirty fighters. It has nothing to do with who can afford it or who cant, or who has a big name and who doesnt. Even fighters with BIG names & DEEP poctects duck blood testing. But in all in all the OST was a item placed in a CONTRACT it has nothing to do with the commission. YOu either agree or disagree, its simple! Well GBP can take not from Sauerland, looks like these guys are a step ahead of GBP. I mean with Schaefer and Tygart so close, you'd think they would do the same for their stable. In January German public television network ARD extended its contract with Sauerland Boxing through 2015 and added a stipulation that all of the boxers in the Berlin-based boxing stable, and their opponents, undergo Olympic Style drug testing as a condition of fighting on the network.

It's because they don't care. They're a company first, it's the same reason they don't stack there undercard. They are in it to maximise profits they only did the OST for Floyd-Mosley because it was a huge fight and Floyd demanded it. It's an expense they can do without. They assume the commissions will do the sufficient amount of testing.

If the fighters asked for it they would have it done , its not up to the promoters they are neutral to what the particular fighter wants , if it was mandated by the Commission which it will in the next few years then it would be just done , but its not a required law so its at the request of the fighter , you know the other guy getting in the ring against a possible drug enhanced opponent , how the fuk can asking for a no cheat fight be wrong . Did you read Schaefer's quotes he believes that OST is necessary for fights. Shouldn't GBP be concerned about their fighters well being and fighting in an even playing field? I'm surprised there is no info on Schaefer talking to the commission yet.

what im surprised about are people...really thinkin and believing that mayweather and GBP wants to "clean the sport" or so they say. oh OST's are now just for big title fights? the fck outta here. where's the resounding voice of the people against PEDs? shit you saw Ariza on Khan's corner....why didnt people go menopausal on khan? oh shit he's not pacquiao. gullibe fcks. this is why that whole fckin OST deal is so full of bullshit.

not even GBP wants OST. its only floyd and the only reason is to duck pac. Schaefer "Now that I've learned more about this, boxing now will have an outspoken advocate for blood testing in the sport," Schaefer said. "I plan to ask Nevada to have Travis Tygart explain why blood tests are necessary. " http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7189531#post7189531 Just shocked that a great advocate for leveling the playing field and a person that is in the position to require these tests isn't doing it. Just shocked that it was only May-Mosley that got the OST and NONE of the undercards.

Khan is GBP's new poster child. He's on the same PED's that Vanes and Pacquiao are on. Of course they don't want to use OST. HA

GBP was the most pro active promotional company to support this movement, they should start practicing what they preach. Set a standard and example for the sport. not even GBP wants OST. its only floyd and the only reason is to duck pac.

athletes have entire nations backing them dumbass. since when does one promotional company or one person have the same financial backing as a whole nation with millions of people? :lol1: Shouldn't a promotional company be responsible for the fighters fighting under their banner? Re-read "dumbass" B-O-X-I-N-G.

They test athletes in the Olympics and Boxing can't cover that costs? athletes have entire nations backing them dumbass. since when does one promotional company or one person have the same financial backing as a whole nation with millions of people? :lol1:

it's expensive as shit no one wants to pay for that unless it's a huge fight that's sure to generate tons of money They test athletes in the Olympics and Boxing can't cover that costs? Look at who's dying in the ring, it's not the Mayweathers or Mosleys.

GBP is the promoter pool, the cost to cover the expense. So what you let, lower tier beat the shit out of each other with steroids and protect the people that can afford it? Look at the people who've died during fights, they aren't the Mayweathers, Mosleys, or De La Hoya's of the sport. it's expensive as shit no one wants to pay for that unless it's a huge fight that's sure to generate tons of money

Read my post again. That shit is expensive. Floyd and Shane could afford it. GBP is the promoter pool, the cost to cover the expense. So what you let, lower tier beat the shit out of each other with steroids and protect the people that can afford it? Look at the people who've died during fights, they aren't the Mayweathers, Mosleys, or De La Hoya's of the sport.

That shit is expensive man. Like 10-20K per fight tested Can only be done on big title fights IMO Dont get it twisted BJ Flores and Leavender Johnson weren't big name fighters, shouldn't they require the same type of playing field. Orlando Salido is not a big name and we know he used steroids for his fight with Guerrero.
