Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Wants Drug Testing, Chavez Jr. Rejects It

[Reloaded]

Just wondering. Are those tests anywhere near as stringent as VADA?

They are just piss tests nothing like VADA

Well they're blood and urine tests.

I really am not in the lingo as far as new drug testing methods like everyone else seems to be here. Is there something new they're supposed to take? Like *****, poo or pubic hair?

Khan is randomly tested year round by the British Boxing Board of Control

Khan is still working with Ariza. But, even then he was randomly tested year round by BBBoC like you mentioned. Even when he was working with Ariza. Now how often was he tested? I don't. But, was random. Supposedly they would go to his house or even come to American and go test him in the Wild Card.

So when it comes to better testing Khan has done it before. which he doesn't get props for BTW.

Like this was a surprise? This is where all World Organizations need to unite & make the urine & blood test mandatory...blood 10 days prior & urine be4 & after. Any helpful comments. Maybe we can all get together & draft a letter to the 4 main bodies. It would only help our sport & make better bouts if "champions" want to be Champions, not like JCC JR/Pac.

Perfect excuse to continue ducking the fight, Any fighter should never say NO to better testing, Its really up to Martinez what he wants to do but even a Chavez victory would be tarnished now.

Yes they are, all you have to do is check the box that says "Yes" if you've taken anything.

I just wish they would stop ****ing around and make proper testing a requirement.

It would make the sport safer, cut back on cheating and leave little room for debate.

Why don't they the organisations work with WADA!!??
Mind you there are soo many flaws in the fight against drugs at the moment tolereance levels and length of ban being two very obvious ones.

Heres a link for Andre Ward and out of his mouth instead of a writer. Andre Ward supports the drug testing.
