    no they really take less than a teaspoon. whatever your feelings are about changing the system you have to admit the system is wrong in the first place.

    Travis Tygart, chief executive of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, said a blood test can allow testers to detect use of energy-boosting synthetic EPO, human growth hormone and "a number of potent performance-enhancers not detectable in urine. . . . With a [30-day] window like that, you could dope to the gills and get away with it."

    It concerns me greatly how damaging this will all be to the sport of boxing. It will vindicate the naysayers.

    Let them both fight on drugs. They will only get a few thousand dollar fine and a six month ban so it still works out great for both.
