Should trainers with drug addictions be allowed to corner fights?

[BetterCallSaul]

In terms of sporting ethics, should trainers with drug addictions be allowed train and corner boxers?

Crack ******* can cause hightened alertness and awareness, increased energy, and increased confidence.

One could argue that if a boxing trainer is taking hard drugs like crack *******, his subject could benefit from the boosting effects it has on them.

In the interest of securing fair play and sportsmanship to both fighters, I suggest that all persons who have a role in a boxers training and corner, are subject to full drug testing.

We need to clean up this sport. Thank you to the Mayweathers for setting this movement in action. However, Olympic style drug testing should be used in "ALL" future world title fights, not just for Pacquaio - Mayweather.

Promoter balked at blood testing for Mosley in 2008
By J. Michael Falgoust, USA TODAY
Just last year, Golden Boy Promotions was against blood testing when one of its fighters, Shane Mosley, was asked to submit to it for a fight in Las Vegas.
Mosley, who admitted to taking designer steroids in 2003 inadvertently before a fight with Golden Boy president Oscar De La Hoya, consented to any form of drug testing before facing Zab Judah but the promoter objected.

Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told AP at the time that he'd consent to whatever testing that was required by Nevada State Athletic Commission and nothing more. The NSAC tests urine before and after fights but not blood at random like the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

A proposed March 13 superfight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather has fallen through over Olympic-style drug testing. Mayweather wanted the Filipino to accept random blood testing by USADA. Pacquiao agreed to three tests, including two before their bout.

"Whatever tests they want them to take, Shane will submit to that. We are not going to do other tests than the Nevada commission requires," Schaefer said. "The fact is Shane is not a cheater and he does not need to be treated like one."

Judah wanted testing immediately on Mosley as well as right before and after the bout. Judah was injured before the fight could take place and it was cancelled.
