    I don't want to take sides here, but just this week I was looking up info on the net with regards to Jones Jr and his failed test, and I was directed to some blog, or site, whatever. Anyway the upshot was James De Gale was on there quoted as saying he hadn't been tested in 6 years since the 2008 Olympics.

    Just playing devils advocate guys.

    It isn't in place mate. Froch is obviously either being tested by a seperate body or lying neither would surprise me.

    The very best are on something, or have used something at some time.
    It's probably closer to 95% at least, of the TOP ATHLETES, and that includes the ones who just use something occasionally.

    Yes, I'm sure there are plenty of athletes who do not take PEDs, on principles. But those guys don't become champions in the real world. That's obvious, it's science.

    For the others it has nothing to do with lacking "moral fibre". They do what they need to do.

    Don't kid yourself.
    It's like, I'm sure a lot of wives and girlfriends think their men don't look at porn. But at least 95% of them do. And most of them don't have a huge moral dilemma about it either.

    I think people on him really get the lines blurred between being a troll and believing their own rubbish.

    at a low level in most sports, on a semi professional basis such as lower league / non league football, county cricket, and lower level boxing, there isn't the money in the game to make it economic to test people out of season. however when people make the international scene in their respective sports and large amount of money / interest is involved this is where there should be stringent testing, and some kind of global body should be there to ensure boxers are tested regularly.

    I've read your example iceberg, and both fighters probably got around 1000-1500 for the fight, and a test probably costs 500 once its been sent the lab etc. so whilst in theory they should be tested in reality its unlikely to happen unfortunately.

    penalties for drugs cheats should be stronger too. the boxers who fight like porter -ie reliant on strength and work rate are the ones who'd benefit most from peds, the pure boxers probably less so. There seems to be less of a social stigma to cheating in USA than there is in the UK.

    wouldn't surprise me if a well known boxer/ footballer / cylist/ sprinter has failed a test but its been covered up because of the damage a failed test would do to the sport.

    Exactly pal I box myself but unfortunately the UK pretty much just as corrupt as the USA boxing and as a society. I am ashamed of the wishy washy ultra liberal no border mass immigration culture of the UK at the minute it makes me sick.

    That's all conjecture and you're personal theories mate. I'm on about the fact our testing is not this unbeatable system and that not all of our athletes are clean.

    I'm sorry but Amir Khan has hired Victor Conte so how can he be considered clean without any shadow of a doubt because that is very fishy to me. Conte managed to get away with it with several Olympians who were being tested 24/7.

    I said cultural differences stop British fighters from juicing as much as other background. Doesn't mean their isn't the odd exception to the rule. Amir Khan will have been brought up a totally different way to the likes of Froch and Hatton and so on because of his ethnic and religious background.

    You notice how most of the caught PED cheats are black americans? Do you think that's just a coincidence?

    I don't have twitter and have no idea how to use it.

    Now lets see you're irrefutable proof way several examples of the BBBoC don't do drug testing.

    I didn't say I'm mates with Ricky Hatton I said he comes in our local now and again and I've spoken to him a coupkle of times, I doubt he klnows my name. I know the guy who ref'd him though well 2 time ABA champ Eddie Mills. You go on twitter and ask Ricky Hatton if he ever goes drinking with him.

    Two boxer I that I know and they know me are Shayne Singleton and Luke Blackledge. I will ask them about the BBBoC when I see them.

    But then again a pathetic cretin such as you who probably sits around in nude all day picking bits of cornish pasty out of his ****s while playing world of warcraft accusing everyone of being a PED cheat just because you had heores that where PED cheats and pretends from knowing boxers to being a boxer throughout the thread probably will claim all these fighters are lying who have had PED testing by the BBBoC. :lol:

    And it says in that very same article right there that the BBBoC carry out random drug testing, caught two cheats and Price thinks they should do more.

    Once again drug sympathizer Gimperial owns himself in his own post. :lol::lol:
