    I go to some of these local professional boxing shows in my area and I cant help but think some of these guys have to be on PEDs... I know they take a physical and most likely get blood drawn but are they looking for PEDs in every fighters bloodwork for every professional fight no matter the level? Would drug testing be in there contract?

    No, most do not get tested in local shows. Depending on where it is it might not be any testing at the higher level either. Indian reservation fights for an example rarely do any testing at all. Fighter physicals only testing for sickness (like HIV and Hep C) and not for drugs/PED.

    I've know people to cheat for white collar. Shows you how widespread it is if people are on the sauce at that level.

    I don't know, but I do know a lot of local promoters and not one of them would pay for it.
