The CSAC agreed to give Francisco Vargas a temporary license today and he will be randomly tested up until June 4 fight with Orlando Salido.

So it sounds like if he passes all his tests he will be licensed for the bout. Eric Gomez told me Vargas passed the first round of testing..

Don't make sense to me. They start doing more drug testing & now they like "nah that didn't count he wasn't ready" or some such ****.

Either test people, catch them & suspend them or don't.

I don't know the details but doesn't any boxer or athlete generally have an absolute right to have their "B" sample tested?

I thought a positive test wasn't positive unless & until both samples come back dirty?

If dudes don't get punished what is the point in testing~

The risk/reward with PED in boxing is crazy in favor of doing it because chances are everything will work out just fine. No one has gotten their career really derailed over it and even the most harsh cases were like a hiccup. Dudes get their chops busted harder over weed.

Well I don't think you can veto getting the B sample tested to avoid getting in trouble & get over on a technicality.

You either request the B sample tested or you pass on getting it tested & you admit guilt more or less. It seems like they just said don't worry about it well see if you test positive in the future before we do anything.

Boxing is a sham. It is deservedly in the dumpster in America. Horrible sport full of gay fans, horrid mismatches, and did I mention gay fans? Hard to think of a sport that has a worse fanbase than the sport of boxing. These f*ggots root for drug testing agencies for christ's sake.
