    Not really hahaha. A lot of it is somewhat similar to yours. I have a soft spot for the German beers (and others) brewed via the purity laws but they aren't overly plentiful here at times.

    Not a reach to say that Holy took HGH, but would it turn up with these tests? I don't know how much he was tested, but he never failed one and neither did Mosley.

    As Moe says: "What's science ever done for us? TV off."

    Anti-doping governance is currently ineffective and corrupt.

    It's hilarious how little people know about this.

    Being a fantasy set up i'd expect the tests to be foolproof :D

    So Holy gets banned and fined in the first round. So does Morrison, Toney and Povetkin (if they for some reason would have been included to start with). How about Fury? Does he still go AWOL and serve his ban when away from the ring? Or is it a permanent ban for any positive tests?

    Well you'd have to pass future tests to be back in the mix.

    JohnThomas1 is correct. Classic fantasy fight testing does not suffer from the corruption or incompetence of any current drug testing regimen. We pay our fantasy employees quite well, and they know what they're doing. The mastery over time and space that allows us to abduct all time great fighters and force them to fight for Classic's amusement also gives us some advantages that current testing orgs lack.

    But if you want to explain what the current system is doing wrong, I'm sure it would be very interesting for most of the people on this thread. Including me. So feel free, if you have the time!
