No one whines about drug testing like boxing fans

[ShaneMosleySr]

It’s the only sport where the drug testing done by whoever’s in charge isn’t enough.

No one complains about the NFL, soccer, basketball, hockey, baseball (a sport that basically didn’t drug test until the 2000s), etc. but everyone whines about drug testing in boxing.

Why?

It's just the way it is pal.blame Hitler and the European phycist

Cuz boxing is among the biggest sports without any universal drug testing policy while its also among the most dangerous sports where one would think a universal PED policy would be a basic requirement.

The intention in this sport is to hurt your opponent, the same does not apply to a lot of the sports you listed.

Get punched in the face repeatedly by a guy juiced to the gills, and then come back to the topic after you've recovered.

So what does juiced to the kills mean to you as far as dose then? It’s usually based on a per week intake, but I’m sure u know that. I heard Hulk Hogan use the term in an interview sum years back and now I hear the term everywhere. Boxers need to make weight save heavies of course, so who are all these guys “juiced to the gills” yet somehow aren’t flying through the weight classes and aren’t feeling uncomfortable as hell?

You’re just saying that because your father got caught up in BALCO

All those sports have random drug testing don't they?

People are more likely to die or be permanently injured at the hands of an artificially enhanced fighter, how do I have to point this out? MMA fans are the same about drug testing, this is people's livelihoods on the line. They're not just pinging a ball about. What should shock you is that NFL and rugby fans don't make a bigger fuss about it because being tackled at high speed or manhandled and slammed by a massive juiced up bloke can seriously hurt you too.

We've come a long ways from "let the commission do their jobs"
