    You don't have a ****ing clue what you're talking about.

    Urine samples are tested for both and if both are present then both will show up on the test as one does not mask the other. Also, steroids do not "need blood testing". The most effective test for steroids is the carbon isotope ratio (CIR) test, which is a urine test.

    Yes.
    Having better stamina will allow you to train longer and more intensively wich benifits everything. Technique, power, speed, precison etc.

    Directly, no. Indirectly, yes. PED's can allow the athlete to train longer and reduce their recovery time between workouts, which allows them spend more time improving their technique.

    better question is, can PEDs get me that babe in your avatar? :tong


    There are some drugs that can actually improve your reflexes / lower your reaction time. I don't know if they are "officially" classified as PEDs, nor if there is any testing for them. - and new drugs get developed constantly.

    There's even a new technique, already used successfully by the US military on jet pilots, that uses direct electrical stimulation of the brain. I kid you not. I helps a person learn & remember things. In combination with meditation or hypnosis, it would probably help a boxer develop combinations & footwork.

    This cannot possibly show up in any test, so, is it cheating?

    It seems like there may be a dirty fighter are you trying to protect or justify in your mind with this maybe? At any rate, a musculare endurance PED like EPO I feel is the most effective for boxers. It does improve your technique, or rather helps you keep your technique past the point of where you would have been exhausted had you not used it. The heavyweight Larry Olubamiwo just tested positive for this drug. Lance Armstrong seemed to like it, as well. Although you could say it didnt improve his pedaling technique:patsch I would also ad that boxers are normally not tested for EPO, unless the testing is being performed by WADA (World Anti Doping Agency)
