Comments Thread For: PED Testing Expense Excludes Most Fighters From Protection Stevenson, Valdez Received

Yeah I thought the same, Ive seen some pretty wild fights with guys on Speed, for sure stimulants are PEDS.

Yes, check out the prohibited substances lists, there's a whole section specifying stimulants.

$50K a Year VADA CBP (Clean Boxing Program) or $40K Per Fight if not enrolled...

That is a lot of damn money and most of these fighters are NOT making anything close to Canelo type of money so yeah F^CK THAT I would probably take my chances and keep my money if I was most of these fighters. It is Ridiculous that they have to pay for that out of their own pocket/purse.

The Sport as a whole don't give a DAMN about if guys are clean or not obviously because if they did then fighters would not be paying for testing themselves

The reason they charge for testing is to show good faith.

It's assumed that if it didn't cost them anything they would do more testing. But that assumption is faulty. Because as you said, many fighters don't even make that much. Didn't Estrada get pegged to be around $90k for his top-tier fight?

So, if the numbers are accurate, it would explain the explosive action constantly, consistently seen at SuperFly.
