Comments Thread For: Hearn Explains Why PEDs are 'A lot Worse' in U.S. Boxing Market

[Boksfan]

Yep. I been saying the WBC clean boxing program is inadequate. I agree with Hearn here.



Be the change you want to see Eddie. You can be the pioneer who cleans up the sport.



But you'd have to stop rewarding cheats like Whyte, Povetkin, Browne, Galahad.....

A lot easier to talk about it than be about it

He wanted to reward another cheat, Ortiz.

True!
I'm not even a big supporter of drug testing anymore because the programs they have are all inadequate. Whatever happened to that WBA drug testing program?

The whole system is a joke

[Detroit29]

When Mayweather first ask Manny to do random testing, he was scoffed and laughed at. Some peoole were saying that he was ducking Pac. Blah blah. Mayweather started a trend but because it was Mayweather it wasn't taken seriously. But since that time....many a boxer have requested these random test and many have been caught. And still getting caught till this day.

Eddie is already "veteran" promoter...?

That's funny because Mayweather was never tested in his life, he cried about PED tests the most and that way he avoided them himself.

UKAD is not a real testing

He does have a point about USA needing governing body to combat sports that supersede local commissions

Yeah, simply not having an unbiased governing body is boxings biggest problem in general. Its why the most powerful and involved promoters can always sway things there way. And why theyll continue to prevent a more powerful entity from coming onto the scene

[Phenom]

Why not?

Legit question I'm not super familiar with how the UKAD operates.

They have prohibited PED in competition list which basically means day of the fight that's why BJS wasn't even suspended in uk

A lot of UKAD failed tests are after the event already happened you can do whatever you want in training camp

Can't find anything updated about it online. I emailed the WBA a couple of months ago when i was having a discussion on here with somebody about it. I still haven't heard from them.

I really don't care if fighters are tested or not anymore. It's a joint joke

I hate to bust your bubble but that entire Floyd Olympic style drug testing was all smoke & mirrors! Olympic style drug testing is random year round testing! Floyd only did testing after announcing the fight which left 5-6 weeks to test and people in the business know that is not enough time to properly test! USADA was the company Floyd used to do the testing which if you do your research, you will see those who use USADA are the ones who want to make it look as if there doing the right thing but VADA is the company that actually catches cheaters! USADA fails to do one of the important test stating it's too expensive while VADA does do it! USADA was the company who caught Floyd with the illegal IV's during the Manny fight but along with the Nevada (corrupted) Commissions, they let it slide! I'm not saying Floyd is a cheater but he definitely lied about the Olympic style testing but fanboy groupies, certain media members ran with whatever Floyd put out!
