They should just have private testing and not disclose if it comes back positive for weed. If Jr wants to act like Tommy Chong thats fine. Never heard of weed making you stronger, or quicker, or more motivated, nor is it particularly known for helping you make weight... If I was in camp Froch, heck I'd send over a hooker with a bong and a bag of the best **** the week of the fight. Screw testing for weed get him in the ring high as a kite.
I hate that this attitude is creeping into the boxing fan base atsch Oh it's too tough to enforce so we'll just legalise everything. It's bonkers and weak. I think it's mainly fan boys of drug cheats who've been caught out (cough Toney, cough Jones and so on) that are desperate for PED's to be legalised so their boy's cheating can be justified to some extent. I guess there's a bit of the Pacquiao mob fueling it as well who want to defend their guy dodging / negotiating on drugs tests as well. Either way not good :nono
So wait a minute, this is from Steve Kim quoting Chavez, or what? Has he really said this, that champions use?
No, Steve Kim was just retweeting a snarky comment by some random dude. That Jr doesnt want drug testing may be true, the "champions use" was just random commentary from the twitterverse
https://twitter.com/BloggerBoxing/status/496654337284640769 This is who Steve Kim is quoting. No article, no quotes attributed to anyone despite the quotation marks, no sources.
Either legalize PED's so every athlete is on an equal playing field or ban everyone who tests positive for life, no exceptions. The testing would have to be done on a random basis. Anyone who refused or made excuses to avoid testing at any time is banned for life. Might be easier to let everybody cheat equally. There is no painless or easy solution to drug abuse. Some guys will always find ways to best the latest test while other less sophisticated fighters will be caught the first and maybe only time they cheat.
thats what fighters should start doing. "fu-- it im not doing no test." they should have a choice. a dude like junior, hes going to fail more than 50 percent of the time. why bother with the hassle? you want to fight, lets fight then. if not, then go your way like floyd
