    What's a guy to do if no one tests him ?

    It's up to the sport to do it's job.
    Are criminals walking up to police asking to be arrested ?

    It's all about proof.
    Yes, I get it.

    The reality is that the "powers" in the sport don't care; don't want to spend the $$; don't want to stop it.

    Andbthr proof is...he failed for a drug that is only used in male athletes when they're boosting T. Which is banned.

    You have your proof. Chris is just saying, now that it's proven, it validates what he heard and likely felt thst night.

    You mean "Evan Fields"?

    He failed the most basic test: there's proof of the stuff being mailed to his home.

    Sit down.
    When Floyd called out suspected PED use by Manny, the result was a slander lawsuit and Manny delaying signing. That was 2012. Which then caused NSB to claim that Floyd was to blame for asking about drug testing.

    The point: when it's a fight and there's money at stake, coward fighters will just refuse to sign if you call out PEDs. Algieri is a warrior.

    No test, no fail, no proof, no ban.
    Thanks.

    Which drug are you referring to here? Surely not Clomid that Benn has popped for?

    Dominic Ingles fighters have been suspect for years.

    Regrettably it will never be that simple. As things stand, who is suspending Benn? Not BBBofC as they don't follow VADA.

    Just highlights how fcuked boxing is. The orgs don't care unless a guy is fighting for them. The sanctioning bodies don't care unless they're sanctioning the fight. And apparently, in this case, the opponent doesn't even care.

    So if no-one cares, why should we expect fighters to be clean?
    I care, taking a brake from boxing for some time

    Definitely. For me, his record's null and void. But obv, this will be no obstacle at all to him rinsing it in like the others.
