    Why do athletes testing positive for PED's seem so much more common in boxing than it does in any other organized sport?

    It just seems that getting caught for PED's seems like it occurs way more often in boxing than any other sport. Why is this?

        Track and field seems to have pretty comprehensive testing. Kenyan runner Rhonex Kipruto just received a 6-year suspension for EPO micro-dosing. Maybe boxing can adopt a similar biological passport and start handing out stiffer penalties.

          I disagree.

          Track & field athletes get caught all the time.

                My buddy played on the ravens. Bench warmer. He said guys like us got tested.

                ray Lewis doesn’t get tested.



                team sports have huge loopholes.


                I bet u Lebron doesn’t get tested.

                  - - Easy answer is top fighters are tested infinitely more times in nanogram testing than MLB/NFL/NBA, ect.

                  OP must be a noob...

                    I think cycling and other Olympic sports are as dirty.

                    I also think boxing decided to go with strict testing:
