    All these tests are not obligatory ATM and it will affect fights being made.

    If they were part of boxing, then fighters will do it, but it's not.
    If it was part of the commission's rules,they would have NO choice but to do it.Why not do it voluntarily? It could get to the time where this will be imposed on them without having a choice...will all boxers develop phobias and excuses?

    There are quite a few people and promoters supporting this style of testing,don't be surprised if in the future something like this is supported by commissions-especially if even more people get caught cheating and constantly refuse this sort of testing,it will look like "red flags" to the authorities involved.
    A few states and even the NSAC are considering how to evolve their drug testing,which is a sign that even they know that they are behind in the times.

Police can pick you up for almost any reason, but you arent arrested. They have to file charges for it to be an arrest meaning you will be put on trial
      I think you're right. I think they can only hold you for 24 hours. Anything longer than that then they will have to charge you with something.

        You're right but until it becomes mandatory by the commissions, I say to hell with the OST. Fighters are only doing it because they are afraid of what it will look like to the public. I don't cast judgement on anybody unless they have a reputation of doing it in the past. All these fighters who are calling for this OST need to go through the right channels and get the regulations changed the right way. All they are doing now is slinging **** at the fighters who follow the commission rules. I'm all for a clean sport but there are ways of doing it. Whats going on now is damaging the sport and the reputation of the fighters.

            It pretty easy and simple, Wlad said NO from the start. So i might think why would an athlete say no but then i could understand when i look at the circumstances oppose to the Pacquiao case...And i dont think either Wlad or Pacquiao are on something dangerous but am more su****ious of Pacquiao than Wlad based on the way they both handle the request.
            And Pacquaio said that blood made him weak back in 2005. He agreed 30 before the fight, initially.

            People are su****ious of pac because what he's done in the sport of boxing is mind-blowing.

              WTF you talking about? OST testing has been around a long time, and it's ineffective. Most athlete don't even get caught until years after they've been doing.

              Explain why mosely/mayweather stopped testing 18 days before the fight?

              IF you think floyd doing this for the sport, then you're just mentally ******ed.


              Plus why would anyone give a **** about any of this. The only thing that should matter to the fans is that the fight happens.

                  If Manny accepted, Floyd gets the mental advantage.

                  If Manny doesn't accept, Floyd gets to duck him without actually saying he won't fight him.

                    I am glad Klitschko stood up to these dumb demands.

                    The drug war failed!

                    I believe all drugs should be legal, but not used when operating heavy machinery or working with electricity.

                    In sports, I am in full support of them

                      How does Floyd get the mental advantage? Shouldn't Manny still have the mental advantage since Floyd accepted every other stipulation?
