Implement Random Hair Follicle Tests

[BoxingWasp]

Good idea. I am completely for any kind of drug testing in any sport. I think it is pathetic for fighters to refuse drug testing when asked to do it. Why would anyone who is clean refuse to take a drug test? To me it is su****ious for a fighter not to take a drug test when asked to. Like you said, the current system set in place seems to have some deficiencies since I think some guys have gotten away with steroid use in the past. Therefore, I agree that a new system must be enacted in order to improve the condition of the sport. Actually, the sport needs to have many other aspects addressed, as well.

My sentiments exactly. Regardless of why a fighter refuses to take a test it's su****ious. That's why I think the commissions should reform their methods so that nobody can refuse.

Where in the thread do you see that I even mentioned the word steroids"? Anytime people mention PEDs you'll hear *******s translate it into steroids and steroids only. Also, there are many different types of steroids. Some help you to maintain muscle and energy during hard training, and if you've never taken them then you're hardly an expert.

They do that because they are uneducated on the topic and have no business even debating it. They have no clue about the new peds available that increase strength and stamina and are in no way related to any steroid.

Whatever I,m not a ******* but I know Floyd Gayweather is a straight BI@CH!! Everybody knows if it looks and smells like S.H.I.T then It's s.h.i.t and Floyd is nothing but a punk S.H.I.T packer.

Why? Same reason I'll refuse if you ask me to take a test right now. FU thats why. When the commission ask Manny to take a test he'll take it all day. Who the F is Gayweather? He needs to shut up and fight or stay retired like the biatch that he is. He can stick to being on the cover of better homes and gardens.

At least for title fights but I think they can do it with all fights. I propose hair tests in consideration for fighters who don't like the idea of frequently getting stuck.

Some fighters are willing to take potentially harmful PEDs and some are not. I don't like wondering if I'm watching a clean fighter against a user. I would enjoy fights much more if I'm as assured as possible that the fighters are on an even playing field. The current urine tests are basically the commissions way of giving fighters permission to use whatever they want as long as they have their system clean by fight night.

Regardless of how PEDs became a popular issue in boxing recently I think it should be acted on. I can't imagine why fighters themselves who are clean would not be behind the improvement of testing so that a standout performance won't be subjected to su****ion and to also be more assured that they're not fighting a user. Seeing that boxing is one of the most physically demanding sports out there I have no doubt that numerous boxers use PEDs.

Why not at least implement random urine testing? It's disturbing to see that these commissions have not made any attempt to improve their testing protocol in decades, when at the same time PEDs have made giant strides in development along with agents that can be used to mask them. It's as if they want fighters to use PEDs because they think fights will be more ferocious. They don't care that boxing is one of the deadliest "sports"... all they care about is making more money. I'd like to see them set their greed aside and improve the drug testing.

I'm all for more testing as long as everyone is tested.

but who the fack is gonna pay for it?

Dude, get off of floyd's dykk already damn! This thread is about the commissions implementing a more thorough testing method. This is not a anti-Mayweather thread. Take your obsession with dissing Floyd to Philboxing.

if temporary agencies that hire people for work use hair testing i'm sure boxing commissions have plenty enough. The thing is that they want to keep expenses at a minimum even if it means keeping 40 plus year old testing methods.

NObody can refuse a test from the commissions dummy. But anyone can refuse a test from Gayweather. And then they can sue his dumb a.s.s for even bringing it up. That should show you that you have the wrong point of view. If Gay **** weather wasn't doing something wrong he wouldn't have a lawsuit against him. Problem is he's to ****** to understand how civilized people conduct themselves that's why he beats on women and cheats on taxes.

My feelings exactly OP. You have the people that design these drugs saying that current testing is laughably outdated. Anyone who wouldn't want a better system of testing looks seriously su****ious to any casual observer.

As for the PED instantly extrapolated into steroids by Pacquiao fans, I always find that funny. You can link to articles in peer-reviewed medical journals and the Pacquiao fans will link back with some random Pinoy talking to a webcam on YouTube and think it debunks a peer-reviewed article. Diehard Pacquiao fans and rational thought are mutually exclusive.

Yeah you're a real Rhodes scholar.
