Lesser testing at the low end of the sport is probably alright because cheating would most likely be caught by the lesser tests since the guys would not really have the backing to use the means to avoid getting caught by them. I would like it to be for the whole sport but I can see the cost making it really hard to implement across the board.

      For high end fights (like TV fight cards) though I think the best means should be used since the cost can easily be covered.
      Good point, how about championship fights and top contender match-ups.

        In any high profile bouts of course, cost would not really be as much of an issue in these fights.

          There is nothing worse then being a fan of a Boxing/ Baseball or w/e athlete and then finding out he is a cheater. Atleast someone you looked up to for YEARS. As a Dominican I was proud of Ramirez, Ortiz, Tejada but all were caught cheating and I lost all respect for them. We should have better testing PERIOD.

                    Good points you've got there. I were about to write something similair. It's really ok to do random tests at prof level. Pacquiao, PBF, Mosley and so on are rolemodels for kids, and really cheatin ain't okay.
