    Can a fighter decline blood/hair testing for religious reasons?

    Serious question.


    Can, let's say Canelo, decline any further testing and claim religious beliefs?

          Then don’t fight for “religious” reasons in the first place.

              No. And if that ever happened...then you might as well allow PED use in boxing.

                  He could but it would be the same as failing the test. A boxer's religious beliefs don't change the rules. They are the same for everyone.
