Yes but there are ways to cheat tests, athletes have been doing it for the last 30 or so years

Plus there is a much bigger push for athletes to stay conditioned between fights, and maintaining that consistency goes a long way as you get older.

It is stunning to read older accounts of fighters, and their months between fights. Like Duran, he could party and eat and pack on 20, 30 pounds between fight camps. And then come back and destroy in the ring.
