    They do indeed. I wonder how this plays with OP's dumb "agenda".

      Did anyone else notice in the wiki article that the majority of athletes who tested positive were all from Russia?

        The fight against drug use in sport is facing a new challenge after a French scientist proved it is possible for athletes to evade positive drugs tests using a technique known as ‘microdosing’.

I'm pro less part time fighters being considered pro fighters anyway so that would work for me.
          Yea...to do that for all the journeymen and part time fighters wouldn't be cost effective.

            More testing would definitely be for the better. Never liked PED use in sports, but its imo way worse when its a sport where your aim is to hurt your opponent

              Not surprising, as with most things the rules are always a step behind, once the tests are readily available the market has moved on. Above all what's really needed is a universal governing body for testing, non of this state to state bs.
