What's wrong with Olympic Testing?

[~GOAT~]

Regular testing urine testing let the likes of Fernando Vargas and Shane Mosley pass the test and fight with steroids, what's so bad about Olympic blood testing if it will clean the sport of all the cheating?

Floyd would be taking the SAME tests and there would be NO advantage for Floyd. What's the big problem here?

There is nothing wrong with OST... as long as it is mandatory...


And, for the record the commission caught Vargas....

With the advancements of peformance enhancing drugs, better testing must be done to ensure the safety of fighters not using PED's. Someone could get killed from a fighter using PED's or damage their quality of life later on

Im hoping Nevada switches to random blood and urine before fights. Make a 3 day cut-off for blood testing. Test right after to obviously.

Exactly. No other sport has more on the line. When it comes to PED usage, we are potentially talking about the difference between life, and death.

I agree more stringent methods of drug testing should be implemeted, but who will pay for it? The promoters?

I am more worried with the commission knowing how to rightfully check the wraps then the PED's debate... Loaded gloves is more dangerous than PED's

Something wrong with it is that there has been little to no planning for it. They're trying to half-ass new procedures and cram a years full of Olympic testing into one training camp for one fight

If boxing really cared about cleaning up the sport they need to plan and come up with a set of uniform guidelines for everyone to adhere by.

Year round random testing would be nice whether you're training or not. Couldn't someone be doping when they're not training? Or do they only care that they're not using something during training camp?
