    What do you think.

    Ward is known to work with convicted PED criminals.

    What should Froch do?

    When you work with and associate yourself with cheats then I suppose you deserve what comes your way because you are providing the ammunition.

    Ward will be micro dosing EPO and doing autologous blood doping which are both undetectable. Boxing needs to start a biopassport program tracking fighters hematocrit levels and hemoglobin concentration but they just don't care.

    Come to think of it if they don't take blood they aren't even testing for regular homologous blood doping and HGH.:patsch

    He should have mentioned it before everything was done and dusted. Ward would have happily obliged. Not that Froch is even serious about it.

    Yes I think it's what the sport needs but yes he should have mentioned it first. Still why not?

    In this case I really support it.

    If you work with guys like Victor Conte, suspicions arise very easily.
    And Ward clearly is the kind of athlete who tries to get every fair or unfair advantage he can get in the ring (location, judges, referee, elbows, headbutts), so that makes him the ideal candidate for major suspicion.

    I think because he works with conte, then why not. But i don't see ward as being the kind of person to use PEDs.

    Still Froch should have done it before negotiations started. However I would love for Ward to just say yeah no problem.

    why do boxers insist on asking for extra testing after negotiations? (Pascal/Hopkins) I reckon it must be mind games.

    He knows Ward won't agree to it, Ward said before it was too expensive. Probably mind games. I don't think Froch will pull a Mayweather and created this issue as a way out of the fight.
