    Look at cycling which for basically its entire professional existence was absolutely riddled to the core with drugs.

    And cycling is largely a European sport.

    Drug taking in professional sports is on every continent

    Promoter lies shock horror. Like I say that's a load of **** mate. I know Jon-Lewis D ickinson and he told me you were lucky if both fighters got a pee test and that is when he is defending his British title.

    Up until his fight with Shane McPhilbin he never even had a urine test.

    Larry Olubamiwo got away with using 6 different types of steroids for years and this is a guy who fought for the British title and in eliminators etc.

    You're talking a load of tripe and you know for a fact you are.

    I can assure anyone that the drug testing by the BBBoC is awful and unreliable. Of course when a boxer is at a higher level governing bodies like the WBC, IBF, WBO, WBA may ask for extra testing but that is no different than what happens in America.

    I am English but just talking the FACTS.

    Why has Amir Khan hired a convicted drug cheat if he is clean. Why work with Conte. Super Hans talks a load of ****.

    I have met a British silver medal cyclist who told me he would rather come second best than get a gold by cheating. That's irrelevant though. The fact is the testing done by the BBBoC is just as **** as the testing done in the USA.

    From this article where Froch talks about Jones:

    [url]http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/boxing/4648966/Carl-Froch-My-drug-test-hell.html[/url]

    ARL FROCH has revealed how boxing’s drug-busters demanded an early-morning test to prove he is clean.
    The IBF world supermiddleweight champ was disturbed by a team of testers who arrived unannounced at his Nottingham home at 6.50am.

    Froch takes on Yank Yusaf Mack at Nottingham Ice Arena tonight.

    But he says the dawn raid left him rattled as it woke his son Rocco and frightened his girlfriend Rachael.

    Froch, 35, said: “It is good to keep drugs out of the sport but sometimes the manner in which they do it can be interpreted as a bit ignorant.”

    Many world-class boxers are being targeted because the sport has been hit by a series of scandals, with Amir Khan’s recent opponent Lamont Peterson testing positive for steroid use.

    Antonio Tarver and Andre Berto were busted in the USA while they were world champions, just like Roy Jones — one of Froch’s all-time ring heroes.

    The same stringent tests that have brought the problem into sharp focus in the States are now naming and shaming UK fighters.

    Froch added: “I’m glad they are doing it but it is annoying when you are getting tested and you know yourself you are clean.

    “You have to give the British Boxing Board of Control a diary of where you will be and at what times you are there so they can perform random tests.

    “They’ve been catching a few boxers in the States that way.

    “I was about to go on an early run when there was a loud bang on my front door.

    “I’m thinking, you have just woken up my boy and then Rachael starts screaming about it, she’s not happy.

    “Before that was at eight in the evening — and I missed Coronation Street! The testers get a comprehensive note of your movements. They knew when I’d be training in Sheffield, what time I’d be back at home in Nottingham.

    “Even the times of my runs had to be passed to them so they could turn up when they liked. I run between 7am and 9am — so they come 10 minutes before I’m due to be out the door with my running shoes on.

    “Maybe they were thinking I was taking a load of gear before I go running, or something like that.

    “You do a test on fight night anyway — before or after. Both boxers are tested, win or lose, there’s no escape.

    “It seems to be in the headlines a lot more, there are definitely more cases of it in boxing lately.”

    This shows how long some random steg head who was taking all sorts on no paticular cycle got away with it for.

    Difference in cultures. That's the point I'm trying to get across. I bet you most British fighters think the same.

    It's a load of **** son. End of. He's either been miss quoted or basically lied because I know several pros who say they have never even been tested.

    I have boxed kids who are pro now and I have never been tested as an amateur and I know and train with several pros who have been boxing professionally for 3-4 years and say they have never been tested but I guess they are all just making it up.

    Nothing to do with culture. I would bet my life Amir Khan is a cheating ****, why else would he hire Victor Conte.

    Like I said I don't care what Froch or anyone else says I know pro boxers personally who are clean and boxing for the BBBoC and they complain about the lack of testing done.

    Give me 100% proof he's lying and Hearns lying and Khan's lying and all these boxers are lying. How come promoters, fighter, etc, all talk about being randomly tested yet the BBBoC never come out and say no we didn't.

    Being that I know for a fact they are invovled in boxing and I don't know you- who's word am I gonna take for it...and even if they didn't test- I still believe thre is a cultral difference where the majority of British fighters are firmly against it- Ricky Hatton comes in our pub once in a while because one of his amature refs is from near me and he said he didn't know hardly anyone that was on the sauce- but I suppose he's lying too just like everyone in boxing except you who knows someone :lol:

    I have to admit my favourite wriggle is the way Muricans now say Lacy was nothing special. Don't they realise nobody in the UK knew or gave a fvck about him before Joe made a fool of the cretin? It was THEM who built him up to be something.

    No you tell me why Amir Khan hired Victor Conte I asked first.

    Go on twitter and ask Jon-Lewis ****inson how many times he has been tested he will tell you.

    The same Ricky Hatton who used to balloon up to 15 stone and then lose 3 stone of it after two weeks of going into camp and had steroid head Kerry Kays helping out.

    Like I say Dave Ferguson is a boxer I know who was KO'd vs. Olubamiwo ruined his career.

    I'll just let ya spout off your complete and utter ****e and pretend online that your mates with Ricky Hatton you pathetic cretin.

    David Millar is probably the most famous British cyclist to get caught for doping.

    Emphasis on the word "caught", as it would appear at this point, if you were a pro cyclist in the past 30 years, you were doping.

    It was incredibly endemic, when you hear ex cyclist talking now
