2012 Current State of Performance Enhancing Drugs
One of the Pacquiao vs Mayweather deal-breakers was Floyd has advocated for Olympic style testing. Pacquiao filed a defamation suit but the case was closed when Mayweather settled in a U.S. District Court in Las Vegas.
In 2012, boxers Lamont Peterson and Andre Berto have recently tested positive for doping by the VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association). Peterson fight with Amir Khan was cancelled, while Berto's bout with Victor Ortiz was also put on hold.
United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) found Erik Morales to have used Clenbuterol, a fat cutting drug, en route to a rematch with Danny Garcia. However, the fight to the dismay of some, was given a go ahead.
Before the Pacquiao vs Marquez fight, Freddie Roach stated that Marquez body "didn’t look natural.” Marquez is currently thinking of suing Roach. Both Pacquiao and Marquez passed the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) dope test. However, NSAC did not do a random drug tests on the fighters during training. A few days before the fight Top Rank Promoter Bob Arum stated: "If someone's been working 11 weeks and went through a cycle of using performance-enhancing drugs, that cycle's over."
In 2012 Nonito Donaire became the first boxer to have a year-round, random drug testing by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA). He tested negative on his last fight with Arce. It is interesting to note that Victor Conte, the founder the disgraced drug company BALCO, is working with Donaire. The BALCO scandal implicated such athletes such as baseball player Barry Bonds, and boxer Shane Mosley for using performancing enhancing drugs. In addition to Donaire, Conte is currently working with Zab Judah, and Andre Berto.

How to Beat urine testing by Angel Heredia
"There are tablets for the kidneys that block the metabolites of steroids, so when athletes give a urine sample, they don't excrete the metabolites and thus test negative. Or there is an enzyme that slowly consumes proteins - epo has protein structures, and the enzyme thus ensures that the B sample of the doping test has a completely different value than the A sample. Then there are chemicals that you take a couple of hours before the race that prevent acidification in the muscles. Together with epo they are an absolute miracle. I've created 20 different drugs that are still undetectable for the doping testers."

How to Create an Undetectable Blood Drugs by Angel Heredia
"I had one substance called actovison that increased blood circulation – not detectable. That was good from a health standpoint and even better from a competitive standpoint. Then we had the growth factors IGF-1 and IGF-2. And epo. Epo increases the number of red blood cells and thus the transportation of oxygen, which is the key for every athlete: the athlete wants to recover quickly, keep the load at a constantly high level and achieve a constant performance."

PED Prices by Angel Heredia
"Athletes with little money use simple steroids and hope they don't get tested. The stars earn 50,000 dollars a month, not including starting bonuses and shoe sponsorship contracts. The very best invest 100,000 dollars – I'll then build you a designer drug that can't be detected."

Designer Drugs Menu by Angel Heredia
"We have used creams that leave no trace and give the athlete a steadily higher testosterone levels."
"Designer drugs are composed of several different chemicals that trigger the desired reaction. At the end of the chain I change one or two molecules in such a way that the entire structure is undetectable for the doping testers."

Angel Heredia Laughing at Current Dope Testing
"What's happening now is laughable. It's a token. They should save their money –or give it to me. I'll give it to the orphans of Mexico! There will be doping for as long as there is commercial sports, performance-related shoe contracts and television."

PEDS should be legal according to Heredia
"I believe we should authorize the use of epo, IGF and testosterone, as well as adrenaline and epitestosterone – substances that the body produces itself. Simply for pragmatic reasons, because it is impossible to detect them, and also because of the fairness aspect."

Here's a 2009 German documentary showing Heredia purchasing banned drugs from pharmacies in Mexico City, and injecting himself in the stomach with PEDs:
