1. I've never known anyone to have a temper tantrum, or file a civil suit against someone because they were complimented.
2. Testing for PED's can only help boxing, or any sport for that matter. It is true that Conte's Balco created masking agents for athletes and they went undetected for nearly five years, but I still do not understand why testing is a negative thing. If there was ANY sport that athletes should be tested, it should be the one where the object is to beat the man in front of you until the ref or the judges determine the outcome of the fight. If there was a sport that required a level playing field, it would be the sweet science. I am not saying who would win a fight between Pac and Floyd, only that testing for PED's can only be a good thing, in any sport.
I fought competitively for nearly five years at the amateur level and fully support the random testing for PED's in boxing. There will always be the latest masking agent for the latest testing procedure, but cops still pull people over for speeding, even when they have the latest radar detector.
