    Boxing has become a niche sport here. Speaking of sports and drug testing, how did the UK do in the olympics in 2012 compared to the US which was in London?

    Boxing is a niche sport here, yet we still produce as many world champions as you despite having far less boxers and being given far less chances at world titles. You just gift rap them and give them to the likes of Broner.

    We got half your more than half your medals despite having a 5th of the population to produce athletes from.

    Notice since VADA took over the drug testing in the Olympics after in 1999, we have rose up the medal table where as your lot have dropped?

    Look what happened in Cycling too after you lot was exposed? :think

    Boxing is an unpopular sport in the UK, yet Froch and Groves can still do 80,000 at Wembley...:think

    You think the US is the only country that has had PED problems?

    Also besides 2008 and 2012(557 athletes, more than any nation) where they hosted the olympics, the UK is where they've been for the last 85 years.

    Not on PEDs. WADA have had much more stringent drug testing measures and started weeding people out. In fact they keep samples for 8 years now as drug testing methods become advanced.

    Stricter drug testing has leveled LEVELED your lot

    Nope. It gets hardly any coverage over here. There is a ton of sports more popular. It's just that certain fighters no how to create fanbase rather than claiming they are A-side because they are undefeated in Oakland :hi:

    Plus with stricter PED testing the USA are dwindling. People will see the UK as the Mecca as we will have the most world champions
