Advocates for OSTs

[Vasyl’s dad]

Since the reason for your stance is that you want a "cleaner sport",

have you boycotted boxing since you've taken that stance?

I mean, we've had tons of fights since this whole ordeal about "needing better testing" was started,

so have you stopped watching since we have seen OSTs in only one fight in that time?

Or do you continue to watch and immerse yourself in a sport you feel is being competed on an "uneven playing field"?

I think more people can care less than to actually be advocates. Doping in sports isn't a new thing and it'll never go away. The thing is, people assume now every athlete who's on top of their game is doping, which really shows how skeptical we've become overall.

Think about how amazing Jordan was during his prime. If he were to be playing in this era doing what he did then now, I have no doubt people would assume he'd on PEDs. I guess people assume everyone is supposed to perform at the same exact level if they're not doping (which IMO is absolute BS).

But to each his own.

So, basically,


they really don't care. They just want their man to have their way and thats is?

I'm more than certain if they did care, they'd be raising a stink for all fights that don't have OSTs.

You can look at it that way, or you can look at it like people thinking they know which exact PEDs do what and know exactly how it would effect a fighter in an actual match. Some have attempted to clarify that, but it usually consists of rebuttals of, "Whatever, just take the test!", which really isn't a valid argument if you believe one guy is cheating or has cheated.

Why is this thread so empty?

Surely it should be filled with those who are strong supporters of "better" PED testing.

Are they absent today?
