    But they do and have been catching people like Galahad. They carry out a certain amount of tests which is increasing each year and you are under threat to be tested at any time.

    Unlike testing in America where the fighters tell the testers what periods of time they want to be tested

      And Porter ended up swaying more than he does with his Daddy.

        More can be done, it far from rigorous but it is significantly more than what is done in the US and elsewhere. The US only pays lip service to doping, more of a PR exercise than anything. To be caught doping in the US reflects very badly upon the fighters IQ.

        Does anyone know about Germany or Japan?

          Brit boxing commission is a joke within itself.

            you are 100000000000000000000000% right. testing is designed NOT to catch people and it is all for TV revenue

              how is a "year round testing program" that didn't test an active fighter for years not lip service?


              they're subject to more stringent testing when they pee in a cup twice for a big fight.


              british fighters are on the gas. kell brook, particularly. i don't havea ton of issue with it any longer. they're all on the gear. as long as nobody is getting an advantage, the issue is health.

              i can't concern myself with protecting the health of a guy who isn't himself willing to give up PEDS to clean up the sport. i don't think i should.

                Plenty of British fighters have been randomly tested out of competition over recent years, how many US fighters can say the same? Some have signed up to VADA but that is voluntary. That Price wasn't randomly tested within the first three years of his career is not desirable but it is likely that he has since, just like many others.

                There is a big difference between this system where UKAD can randomly test you and a system where two fighters will have to agree to some testing for a particular fight. Agreeing to the VADA testing is probably a more serious attempt, the rest of the stuff is just PR.

                  They don't test in Denmark because the fighters are all bacon vending bums who PEDs wouldn't help anyway.
                  No i did not fool. You however, said it was a major deterrent! LMAO!

                    where's your beef with my country coming from, anyway?
