If Manny takes Olympic style testing then ...

[Malius]

Basically anyone who says manny should take the test, are implying that all boxing organisations drug testing protocol fail and they need to change their drug testing to olympic style testing and have the same substances banned as the olympics.

Do people believe that all boxers should do the test or just those fighters who are expected of taking PHD's?

Does everyone feel that the current organisations are not doing enough to find drugs cheats or that it should be done in this particular case because:

A) It's a fight everyone wants to see and wants a even playing field
or
B) the amount of money involved in this fight.

I'm a one for all and all for one kind of guy, this could change the sport but I think its wrong to target specific people for specific fights, and by giving them no choice it avoids this kind of thing happening.

This isn't about the pac/may fight its about changing the rules on drug testing, putting the name in just gets more people to read the article.

Well from what I hear, they dont do it because they cant afford to do it for every fight

i'm wondering how much do these tests cost...

why don't hey allocate 1% of the fight purse to make these test. i think it will be ok for fighters to have 49.5% each right?

if you don't like cheats, i think everyone agrees that the current boxing testing policies are insufficient....olympic style testing, or "year-round, random" testing should be the norm....

what detractors will say, and what is actually the biggest hurdle though, is the COST of implementing this....

Random blood testing should be standard protocol for professional boxing bouts.

[ThePunchingBag]

Steroid alarmists on this forum are fake.

They don't complain about boxing drug protocol in general.

Fights get signed daily, but we don't hear anyone mention that any of them need to get OSDT.

They only complain about Pac not taking the tests.

Bingo.
Lets get rid of the innuendo altogether & test for everything, every friggin pro fight.
