    No it shouldnt. There is no initiative to do it otherwise if they are either juicing or not willing to part with the cash.

    Hell no it should be up to the commissions abroad.

    Like I said before it has to just ****ing start somewhere. The best way to start for the good of the sport is by doing pre fight urine test instead of just post fight.

    The pre fight should be done at random at least twice. I am sure they can work that **** out. If a fighter is training in a different state from his opponent then each state commission should be in communication and they should be able to call that fighter in to take a random urine test at any time. It can work.

    Good point fellas, it really IS up to the commission. Commission testing is an absolute joke. You figure after all this controversy commissions would do more but they just flat out dont :lol:

    Quick question.

    Are these USADA/VADA tests seperate from the commissions tests?

    I mean, the commissions are still testing regardless of whether USADA/VADA/NOBODY is doing the testing on behalf of the promoters?

    The commissions tests are out dated and not really up to speed.
