No one whines about drug testing like boxing fans

[Left Hook Tua]

If you can't understand the difference in concern between people playing with a ball vs people punching each other in the face for 36 minutes, I don't know what tell you...

I'd be more scared in the NFL tbh

11 guys on the field throwing their weight at you at full speed

Not even 2 years ago 2 players NCAA football players died on the same weekend one directly from an injury on the field the other from heat exhaustion. Over 35 NCAA football players have died since 2000. Something like 10+ high school players die a year.

The NCAA is somewhat outside the scope of the discussion, but I'll address it anyway. You mentioned 35 deaths, however:

Thirty college football players have died from heat-related illnesses since 2000

https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2019/06/03/college-football-players-death-congress-investigating

The vast majority of those are heat related. Are you suggesting we PED test the sun?

You mentioned two years ago a football player died from his injury. Meanwhile, since 2017, David Whitton, Tim Hague, Scott Westgarth, Christian Daghio, and most recently Maxim Dadashev have died as a direct result of injuries sustained in the ring.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_due_to_injuries_sustained_in_boxing

This doesn't include guys like Adonis Stevenson and Colon Pritchard who have been beaten into comas with brain damage.

To date, only one NFL player has died on the field.

In conclusion, regardless the attitude of other sports fans, the need to protect fighters who can die in the ring is obvious and paramount

He was still enrolled, unlike Canelo who got caught.
Name one other Mexican athlete who has been caught with Clenbuterol from meat in 2017 or 18.
Go on.
Just one.
It's widespread problem, right?
Stop protecting cheaters.

Canelo wasn't WBC CBP. lol. Canelo signed up with VADA for GGG. GGG's face got smashed by Canelo whom started 120 days out for the rematch and committed to 365 as well.

Your boy Pac and Thurman ''started'' 3 weeks away from the fight with the most sketchiest ''testing to date.''

You've got GGG and Rolls starting less than 4 weeks to their fight. Like less than 25 days compared to 120...

95 day difference.... geez you must wonder what a practicality for boxers with 3 months to do as they please. lol

[Grimgash]

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

Also by one universal testing agency throughout...because there's only one organization "in charge". Fact of the matter is most of them juice.. watch athletes talk about it and you'll know Robert Orbst from strongman basically said it like this "There's random testing.... kind of. You get tested once a year and you know and pass that... then they can randomly test you... but usually only if you look like you're on something similar to amphetamines so just don't do those." Point is drug testing for steroids takes a lot of time and costs a LOT of money.... if you think guys are tested all the time nonstop in any sport you're insane.Sports want profit over everything any they're not throwing millions at testing and losing stars for "the love of the game". They don't really care.... look at football and CTE. Just don't be an idiot is all you have to do and you won't deal with it.

2 reasons. #1 it’s much more likely for serious injury or death in boxing and #2 is boxing fans (at least a large portion of this site) complain about everything

Is it more sketchy than not going, like your idol Cheatnelo?
Or getting caught? Somehow being the richest athlete in all of Mexico, he was the only one, that entire year getting caught with Clenbuterol in the system. THE ONLY ONE.
LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE.

Stop defending drug cheats.

Lol.

“Than not going.”

Canelo goes to VADA to give samples randomly?

PACt@rds mayne...


Afraid of needles doe...

Canelo got caught. TWICE.

[Thuglife Nelo]

Nope. NSB members laughed at Stephen Edwards for saying the same thing. You cannot rid trace samples 3 days way from each other. That was all planned..

Planned like PAC vs Thurman having no VADA testing and more “VADA style testing!”
