    Should referee's be drugtested before fights?

    We all know drugs can affect a person's judgment. How much so does judgment matter with someone who holds the lives of other people in his hands?

    I was watching the last 4 rounds of Nate Campbell-Ricky Quiles and the only thing I could think was, "What is wrong with Jorge Alonso, why won't he stop the fight?" I'm no DARE teacher, but he must have been on crack to not stop that fight.

    Should mandatory drug-testing be in place for referees?

    And while we're at it, how about Breathalyzers for judges?

    I have honestly never thought about this before. I think it is a good idea but it seems to me unlikely that it will ever happen unless a story surfaces of a referee being under the influence during a fight.

      I'd sooner have IQ tests for judges.

      The ref on crack wouldn't be a huge deal until he calls time to blow a dealer outside the ring for a quick hit.

        I agree, that would sound the alarm for reform.

          I'd say the judges first.

            BTW, I have no idea why I put "referee's" instead of "referees". I must also be on crack.

                  I'm against drug testing anyone (for recreational drugs) unless they've given a reason to.
