No one whines about drug testing like boxing fans

Huh?? Testing in boxing is haphazard, no to mention judging and refereeing having little actual oversight. It's the wild west of major sports and most fans are oblivious. A few of the smart ones actually care and you're attacking them for having standards?
GTFO with that noise.Comment

Boxing isn’t a necessity for sport, and every nation worldwide has different values and cultures...so the uniformity is already weird. You can’t just apply what would seem like the American standard and apply it to Romanian life, meaning the guy who decided to do boxing because of...etc..and no way am I saying that American sports even at the Olympic level wouldn’t be suspect since who knows when.
That’s the real problem with sports. At the govt. Olympic level man its the most shadiest science as if countries are racing to be superior like the Arms race. That’s the grim reality.
Let’s imagine that in US based boxing a new law came into play for 365 random testing mandatory, no ifs, and each boxer is tested twice each month. Now, try an regulate this practice worldwide. It’s impossible.
It is what it isComment

It is even impossible to regulate it for the world's richest boxer, right?Boxing isn’t a necessity for sport, and every nation worldwide has different values and cultures...so the uniformity is already weird.

One of the world's richest boxers completed a full year of 365 random. In theory if VADA were to ''catch'' suspected cheaters, they'd know the best ''random'' dates to take samples again...
meanwhile, another boxer whom got a $100mil deal for 6 fights had VADA testing in a Rolls fight 3 weeks away like the Lemieux fight.
Something about Kazakh boxers getting off easy right?Comment

You mean the Kazakh boxer who has been in VADA non stop for the last 6 years at least? Unlike your idol, the caught cheat, Canelo.One of the world's richest boxers completed a full year of 365 random.

Before his Vanes fight he was tested 10 times, in just 3 months. That's more than Canelo has had his entire life.
GGG was tested at least 5 times before the Jacobs fight.
Stop defending a cheat.Congratulations to Gennady Golovkin for again successfully completing VADA for his June 8, 2019 bout.Comment

Cause in other sports, having an unfair advantage can result in you scoring more points, goals etc. In boxing it can result in you permanently injuring or even killing someone.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?Comment
