It's actually good for the sport. We all know the current programs are mostly posturing for PR reasons rather than really trying to protect the fighters & ensure it's a level playing field. Will only bring about more pressure & hopefully more stringent testing/rules/penalties if there's public perception of fighters getting away with using.
Just another black eye, but if more come out or fail tests, then it has to move towards cleaning it up.Comment

Yep. She’s acting like people don’t know that commission testing was crap. Of course it was easy to beat urine testing, that’s why boxers are now stepping up and also doing blood testing to prove they’re clean. And why boxers on steroids refused to take blood testing when it first started.Comment

This wouldve meant much more said years ago. I do think theres truth to it though, considering how many low level fighters i know who cheat. Are the top guys all clean while the bottom guys all juice. The would mean they were performance denhancing drugs..Comment

She should be praised, not criticized. We all know that boxing is a drug sport at the elite level. If you want to compete at the top you must use some kind of drugs. Tyson & Hughie Fury both tested positive for the SAME drug and of course, they denied it. Povetkin KEPT getting busted for PED's so he had to stop but he has not looked like the highly talented and formidable fighter that he once did. Now he looks quite ordinary and juiced up Joshua will have no problem beating him. This is but a small example of how rampant and common drug usage is in boxing.Last edited by BoxingJunkie; 08-13-2018, 02:20 AM.Comment
