    Too much legal (and more importantly ILLEGAL) money made on those weekends.
    Thanks, I know what you mean money talks and it's a shame there is so much shady **** going on

      Completely agree it makes sense.

        I have started a petition

        What's the use of testing? When people fail tests they will claim they ate some Mexican beef or a whole pig on steroids. The sanctoning bodies only care about money unless the roided fighter is Russian.

            The abc groups should come together on this issue & help each other out cuz plenty of guys are ranked by multiple abc groups so its just double work in some cases to have two or more abc groups testing a guy. Thats what they should be doing, but first of all all of them need to get on board which I don't think has happened yet as 1 or 2 ain't on board still last I recall.
            I'm glad they are starting to take action although somewhat slowly. I hope my petition can get vadas attention and potentially kick-start something.

                    I know there has been SOME improvement with the Alpha bit boys but when was the last time they ever did anything for sport.I would not want to to bet a dime these guys EVER get it right.Any pressure on them and more importently the commissions cant hurt.
