    The big fight between these two is coming up this weekend. Arthur Abraham is a Sauderland Promotions fighter. As such, he is subject to year round blood and urine olympic style testing in conjuction with the German Anti Doping Agency. How will the blood tests affect Abraham? Will it mentally throw him off his game? Will he be so weakened from having his blood taken that he will simply fade down the stretch? This could be key in deciding who wins.

    He is tested year round. He is subject to blood and/or urine testing at any time.

    Maybe he will, maybe he won't. They're not going to let him know though. That would defeat the whole purpose of random testing.

    I highly doubt the German anti-doping agency will do anything right before their pride and joy has a huge fight? Why would this time be any different, I'm not quite understanding your point, unless your making excuses already....just in case he loses.

    OMG!

    ESB, where do you breed these?

    Hey BigReg, why did you have to make it open? Sarcasm is damn difficult to express trough a poll. I refuse to vote!

    Come on people.

    I think this is a very serious issue and we have to address it.

    This thread is not about drugs. It's about drawing someone's blood just before a fight and how this will affect him.
