    Depends on the contract. If it specifies ALL reports get sent do the proper commission for an up coming fight, I'd be good with that.

    by Rico Aguirre

    In the last few weeks Boxing’s reputation has been soiled by incidents, both actual and imagined, regarding PEDS. Once one gets past the surface level, the damage is obviously worse than a black eye as if these patterns persist the hopes of any legitimate Performance Enhancing Drug (PED) reform will be the collateral damage of such irresponsible acts.

    In a free society, it is the duty of the press to expose corruption and inform the public with accurate information. The boxing media should not be any different.

    If we allow others to accuse others of things without verifying them, we betray our journalistic duties and reduce ourselves to the level of Joseph McCarthy, who accused innocent people of being communists. When he was finally put to a stop, the damage could not be undone and several innocent people’s lives were ruined.

    What should instead be brought to light is that irregularities and odd issues related to the current level of testing both mandated and voluntary is not adequate to ensure fairness in a match.

    Voluntary testing places the athletes in control as they then are the ones that dictate the terms of the testing. Consequently, voluntary testing is inadequate and should be replaced by thorough testing.

    Though voluntary testing is a step in the right direction. Its shortcomings are obvious and the consequences of hindering further progress may very well kill the sweet science. In addition, the secretive nature of these tests and the accountability will undoubtedly allow writers to continue to use fighters as cannon fodder. They will be able to publish unconfirmed “facts” and rumors that add more coffins to the sport’s image, as well as contaminate boxing forums and social media with distortions and lies.

    We can look at baseball as an example of a sport suffering due to inadequate drug testing. To this day the issue has not been thoroughly addressed and the sport’s image still suffers. The all-time home run record leaders have an asterisk next to their stats.

    What will it take for boxing writers to push for the reforms necessary to protect the integrity of the sport? In addition, will such response be too late?

    Until then, fans have to read with caution, separating real journalism from marketing propaganda spoon fed to a shill.

    **** the ****ing bed...Uhhh yeah...I mean have you ever had a ****ing job, worked in any kind of business...you can't rent a video from Blockbuster without a ****ing contract, do you realize how ****ing stupid this makes you look? Anybody who's playing the "GBP asked for a contract" card are equally as stupid, "do you really need a contract for that"...you ****ing right we need a contract for that, are you going to cover the millions of dollars lost via an event having to be cancelled at the last minute because they weren't informed of a fighter testing positive? I mean this is common ****ing sense.

    Thats the thing your putting spin on it, once a fighter agrees to the test, he simply signs the agreement with the agency, DLH and GBP wanted an additional contract so that they may obtain results in a timely manner in the event one should test positive.

    Well I am sorry but if they do not like the timely manner in which the testing is conducted they will have to figure out some other method, a contract between any promotional company and a drug testing agency does not look good no matter what its for.

    I am not pointing out the specific agreement between the fighter and the company but the additional contract requested between the testing agency and GBP.

    it does not look right..... And it the focus should not be that Millions may be lost due to a fight being canceled.
    The focus should be that we are looking out for the well being and safety of the fighters its not about money with me its about Boxing

    Dude what in the **** are you talking about...GBP needs to know more than the fighters need to know, they are the ones putting on the event, selling consumers tickets, advertising, making undercard fights, booking venues, etc etc. That **** is on their dime, they need to know ASAP if something is wrong, how can any reasonable, rational, grown man not understand this concept?

    Yes, they have. I used t respect him til I saw him act like a kid by going on another websites forum to talk **** to the sites Publisher. I now feel like I have reason to question his journalism based upon the facts that have come to light.

    Again GBP having a contract with any testing agency does not look right, its like I said yesterday if this were Pacquiao we were talking about you all would be singing a different tune.
