    I would support a lifetime ban, because there's no proof at all which suggests blood testing for 3 months has more than a 1% detection rate.

    Steroids should be legal, problem solved.

    I'd support the most stringent testing possible on all fighters.

    I think all top 10 ABCS should be tested on 48 hours notice, randomly 3X/yr, and once a week up until 2 weeks away from a fight.

    Solves the problem completely and gives transparency to the sport.

    what is the same, is not advantage so i agree if every1 could use their preferred method of training wether it be steroids or not we woudnt have to hear about it anymore but you essentially would be forcing people to use them in order to compete BUT they dont have too and steroid use has been common practice in the old days of boxing so...

    Set up the new rule for boxing? OSDT requirement? Another question come to my mind about this issue now is "Is it necessary for any fighter to take it?"

    In a perfect world, yeah. But this world is all about money. It costs a ton of money to hire these people to continually go visit a fighter and test them randomly. You saw the 24/7 Mayweather/Mosley. Who is heck is going to pay for all this?
