Do fighters have to give blood and urine samples in between fights or is it just in the period leading upto and after a fight?

Nobody any ideas?? Bomber? Smigga? Frankie? Can you shed any light on this?

Think you can get randomly selected but my Bro is boxer and never been called up for check

Normaly only when you fight for a Title, British Euro etc

The thing i dont understand you get drug tested before the fight and thats it....

Why would you test a boxer when they're not in training?

i remember on an episode of fight camp 360 carl froch got tested after his fight with dirrell......

Na what i ment is that you get Tested before the fight, the Drug man stays with you till you fight, but who's to say there aint nothing in the drink you have have brfore or during the fight...

My last 2 years as an am I got drug tested bout twenty times not once since I turned pro but will do on my next fight

Really?? thats interesting to know Frankie. Do you think this is right or do you rhink you should be tested more often?

With so many governing bodies is it any surprise?

It's down to the promoters to insist on it's inclusion.

One of the german outfits has adopted it for all title fights and have unearthed a few dopers already.

I tested some drugs the other day, they where good.

All boxers should be tested randomly (and a lot more often) when they have an active boxing licence.

How can you tell when a boxer is training or not? He could be boosting his cardio and recovering from training sessions and/or injuries much faster and then come off the pes' in the lead up to the fight. He will be able to get the benefit of coming into "pre-fight" training fitter and show no trace of the pes' in his system.

Even if they do get caught a "big star" will/can use lawyers to tie the whole thing up in the courts.

Its a joke that boxers are not tested more often. Any registered pro should be open to random testing at any time during their liscenced period IMO. This way it would stop all the histeria surrounding Pacman as well.
