    Do y'all even know what RANDOM drug testing means???

    *****s dont even know **** about olympic style drug testing when they ***** about fairness.

    Olympic style drug testing is RANDOM. It means that each fighter is tested on an independent schedule and/or a different amount of times from one another.

    How fair would it really be if say....1fighter were to get tested once every week and a half leading up to the fight while the other fighter were to only be tested 1-3 times during the same timeframe??? Because that's what random is.

    Or even if fighter A gets tested 20 times up until 2 weeks before the fight while fighter B only gets tested twice the whole timeframe but those 2 times are the last 2 days before fight. Is that really fair???

    How fair would it be if Fighter A gets tested at 4 AM every single time while Fighter B gets tested at 4 PM everytime?

    See how this kind of **** could affect training?

      Its ridiculous IMO. Most people obviously don't know what steroids or hgh does, how long it takes to work, or how long it stays in the system. If there was an illegal substance that you could take today and be out of your system tomorrow, whoever discovered that would be rich beyond measure. Besides that, it wouldn't do much good if it flushes out too fast.

          wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then how ***en come olympic athletes don't ***** about this? They never bring this up. Cycling is much worse no other athlete get's tested more then lance armstrong and he's still the greatest cyclist of all time. So if manny is so great why can't he do it? Who's to say floyd wont get tested more and at a worse time?

            RANDOM drug testing is not over the top in the steroids era we live in today, thats why top sports conduct some form of it now.

              Not necessarily. They both have the same amount of tests, and they are both spread across the same time-frame. They wouldn't do one guy six times across the two weeks before the fight and the other once a week for every week before the fight.

              Random is simply meaning they can come in at any time and you have to do it then and there, but it is not being able to do it a certain amount of times in a very short period. They are still done at intervals across the whole time period but you are not informed until just before.

                None of that would happen though. They are never going to test a fighter during the middle of the night. It wouldn't be at any abnormal times. They would both be the same time periods and one fighter wouldn't be treated any differently. Random just means you are not told beforehand about it. The intervals between are still very similar and the times completely normal. They don't deliberately treat one guy badly and the other well. They are pro athlete testers and realise that they also need to be doing it without interrupting the athletes' training schedule.

                  The only thing that's random is probably the dates. They'll probably test the same weeks, but the days and times may vary(Or they may test one guy at 4 PM on Wednesday and another guy at 6 PM on Saturday that same week).

                  I would assume that who's ever running this test is actually smart enough to spread out all the dates so as to make it fair enough.

                  If they took 5-6 shots, that basically translates to 1 shot about every 2 weeks.

                  You'd know the general time frame they'd probably be checking in(Any date as long as its been 2 weeks. Maybe a little inside 2 weeks or maybe a couple of days after). They just won't tell you exactly when they'd be coming, that's what makes it random. The idea is to catch someone slippin'

                    You're trying to compare professional boxing to an olympic sport?
                    I don't see the correlation.

                    Even if Cyclists did ***** about the Olympic testing, how the *** would you or I know?

                    The point is not that the random drug testing people WILL do it, it's that they CAN do it.
