Like I said before, boxing doesn't even need USADA!!
Who do the hell you think gives blood testing when a person goes to get a Cancer, HIV, Check-up???? Medical staff at Hospitals and R/N Nurse's
Random blood testing is OST, just have medical staff do it randomly, just like for a job they do random urine test.
For the fighters with the bigger purses they can get 20,000 USADA blood testing, but every body else should be subject to standard blood testing.Comment

List of things that can help boxing's credibility:
1) Best fighters actually fight each other without making a mockery out of the sport while its biggest competition forces the best to fight each other
2) Fire incompetent judges
3) No hometown judges for hometown fighters
4) create national commission to pay ref's/judges so they don't receive pay from promoters or people with a vested interest in one fighter over the other
5) one belt system across the world so the public knows who the real champion is of every division
6) Promoters develop their boxers as regional attractions
79) OSTComment

Get real.
All advanced testing would do is make the sport more boring than it already is. Nobody is going to pay for athletes who aren't on steroids. Do you want all fights to look like Mosley/Mayweather?Comment

It makes sense, the problem simple is that people don't think Manny should HAVE to take it in order to get a Floyd fight when its not apart of the NSac rules. Simple as thatComment

I find this whole 'OST' circus comical. All it's done is expose people's bias and hypocrisy. Most clowns championing 'better testing' could care less if someone like Hopkins or Ortiz is guzzling super soldier serum before their fights. All they care about is that Manny Pacquiao 'take the test' for Floyd.
The only fighter who has chimed in on the issue who seems to genuinely care about cleaning up the whole sport and not just his fights (only for certain fighters) is Andre Ward. He also called for a fighters' union/athletes' association so that fighters could be protected by law. He has a great head on his shoulders and is probably smart enough to realize that if you want REAL change, gossiping on twitter like a 12 year old girl or complaining only after you get your ass kicked or someone comes along who frightens you isn't the way to get it done.
If fighters were really as serious as Ward seems to be, they would follow his lead. Form a union, and collectively bargain with the major commissions to institute whatever testing protocols they deemed fitting. Hell, they could even take their cause to Congress and try to force legislation that would not only create one ****geneous national commission but would also have them institute standardized across the boards testing.
But going on vacation, printing t-shirts, and twittering seems to be just as effective
