I'm sure you're right but what does it say about the people doping that they're prepared to rely on an endless succession of chemicals just to function in life? It's drug addiction of a different kind.

Canelo has made a lot of money (which is obviously highly valued by a lot of people) but there are guys in local gyms who no one will ever hear about doing exactly the same thing. IronDanHamza I'm going to again call for your perspective here. What's the motivation?

In sports? Most edge on opponents (mentally and physically), wanting to be the best when they don't have the capacity without assistance, having the mentality of most of my competitors are using, so I need to use to be on an even playing field. But, mostly, just wanting to everything to win, is the main reason.

In just every day to day life? Just to be a beast in life, really. And because steroids just make you feel fucking awesome. So yes, definitely an addiction. More to what the gear does for you as opposed to the actual gear itself.

It can't be globally enforced though. So he'll just continue to box in Mexico and whatever shady US state will take him, like Conor Benn did.

Depends if he gets a ban under the BBBoC.

Conor Benn was never banned by them, only temporarily suspended whilst under investigation. Whilst he was temporarily suspended he couldn't box any where in the world. But when he was temporary suspension was lifted when he won his first hearing with BBBoc/UKAD, he could then box abroad. He only couldn't box in the UK because they appealed the decision that they lost, so whilst under appeal they are within their rights to reject him a UK License, which they did when he applied for one. So he boxed in the US instead where he was able to get a license at that time because his suspension had been lifted so he was free to box.

So in theory if Mungiua does gets a suspension and then a ban under the BBBoC then he shouldn't be eligable to get a license anywhere but that of course depends on the commission being applied with but most commissions are not going to license a boxer who has a ban or suspension in another country.

No, its not. The whole rationale is that the A-sample could have been tampered with or the original test could have been compromised somehow. It's entirely logical to test a A and B samples.

I mean yeah, cool, test it. Why not? Nothing to lose from it but It is quite literally the exact same blood and urine sample.

Same blood and urine, put into two different glasses. One is A the other B.

Yes, perhaps there's a 0.000000000000000000000000000001% chance there's being something shady Death Star Inside Job vibes going on hence why I left it to 99.infinite 9 but there is a very good reason a B sample has never come back differently an A sample is the point being made.
