• Even if the sample is yours, Nevada doesn’t routinely test for erythropoietin (EPO) and several other potent substances that can be detected in urine using more sophisticated, more expensive, more time consuming methods.

Lets allow these boxing commissions to do thier research and studies to find out if random blood testing is really necessary and applicable in pro boxing. If they don't switch to OST then it means that their current testing method is sufficient.

key word= routinely.
that doesnt say that they flat out do not test for EPO.

also, if cost was really an issue, NSAC would scale back urine testing and add blood testing. blood testing is cheaper.

Yup. It also means it not in their routine to do so.

[Siggy]

routine alludes to frequency in that instance. still doesnt say that they never test for EPO...or do they indiscriminately tell the athletes what substance they'll be testing for?

The bottom line is that if it's not done frequently, more often than not it's not done. And athletes are aware of what and when.

[mazdaru]

yes he accepted it in case ur clueless..

did you not read, you need blood and urine.

pac wanted urine and a limited amount of blood. three blood test....so no, he didnt agree

nsac test randomly. do they test as frequently as say the french anti doping agency tests for EPO for cyclists? no, but neither does WADA or USADA
if the athletes are aware of what they are being tested for, then its not random. nsac tests randomly. i highly doubt NSAC tells athletes what they are being tested for.

Where did you read that the NSAC tests randomly?

• Under Nevada ’s program, you get 48 hours’ notice to report to the closest accredited lab for a random test, plenty of time for many banned substances to clear your urine. “That’s random testing?” Goodman asks. “That’s random announced testing. They might as well shoot up a flare to tell them a test is coming.”
