    How is a year round testing for PEDS = 10+ blood drawn within months time reasonable?

    and USADA says this is the only way? shouldn't they be advocating year round tests of PEDS to boxers too?

    swimmers get their blood drawn in a span of a year

    but USADA is proposing they do the same procedure only during training camps and after fights? that sounds suspect to me

    Organizations like the NFL, NBA, MLB have a nationalized agency, they handle these things and they pay for them.

    Boxing doesn't have anything like that, they only have athletic commissions which vary differently state by state.... who is going to pay for the thousands and thousands of boxers that aren't even ranked...

    It comes down to funding..

      Because its Olympic style testing.

      Not exactly the same as real Olympic testing. They just took some elements of the procedure to use the "Olympic" name to make it seem better.


      Its funny because its not even real Olympic testing going on. Its a watered down version of it.
