Is "Olympic"-Style Testing for show?

[DE100]

Having just one urine test after a fight - Is really what is for show.

OST is for sissies who are afraid of getting hurt. I'd bet Pretty Boy don't give **** about Mosley taking a test or not.

course he does. the guy admitted to cheating.

I dont think its for show, They are not forcing anyone to do it if they dont want to, Both fighters didnt mind so hey great for the sport...We move on and we have a fight, No one is judging them.

i agree. who uses them?

That guy said "OST is for sissies who are afraid of getting hurt. I'd bet Pretty Boy don't give **** about Mosley taking a test or not."

I'm not on here to say who uses them. I'm here to say we'll never know how many people use them because we don't have any real testing. Olympic style testing's sole purpose is to provide a comprehensive attempt to catch PED using cheats. The above quote is ****** and childish.

Look what has happened in baseball because of the players union's stubborn refusal to do USADA style testing. Only rabid, home run hungry fans like that sport now. It's losing appeal because most people think of baseball players as steroid addicted cheats. Why? Because so many players, analysts and owners pretended like the problem didn't exist. Then it came out that there was rampant PED use. So, now fans don't believe anyone.

Mark my words, if boxing doesn't get serious about trying to catch PED using cheats the sport will become even further marginalized. We only superficially test. So, we don't know who uses. That's a problem. It needs to be rectified.

For real. But you can't tell some boxing fans jack ****. They wouldn't know real regulation of the sport if it smacked them in the face.

I want you to do something for me, I want you to google for companies that offer services for this type of drug test. Look for a number to call and when you reach them ask them for a price.

Then I want you to count the number of fights that are put on by HBO, SHOW, ESPN, and so many others.

Then I want you to think of how much these companies make an effort to be cost efficient in any way, even the fighters purses.

This was just an additional show for floyd to make him look good. This testing that floyd-mosley isn't OST, the test should be done before they train upto the day of the fight and what they have is a only a 6weeks of testing upto the fight. The fighters has already in training for a month and there was no test before and while they train? What if floyd or mosley use those steroids before and while in training and then washed it all out before the start of testing then they could already benefited the effect of steroids. How do u call this a random? Yeah a six weeks random drug test. Lol. This is a useless test They will never caught floyd or shane or anyone with this.

Wait a minute!!! What?! Who?!

[Vladimir303]

**** Olympic Style or any kind of testing.

I'll say, let them all just take steroid or whatever else they want, at their own risk.

Much cheeper and it's even playing field....if all fighters are allowed to do it.

Too much hassle with random drug testing, and the fighter having to report where he is all the day every day.
