Today David Price has stated that since turning professional back in 2008 He has never had a blood test in terms of drugs but has been urine tested and the sport he needs to do more http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/20068384 and feels that the Board of Control needs to do more to deal with PEDS in sport.

He's said he has not been randomly tested since he turned pro. With the Olubamiwo revalations it sounds like it is piss easy to get away with drugs in boxing in the UK. I don't know which steroids and PEDs get out the system after a few weeks but it sounds like all you need to do is take those and come off them in the few weeks leading up to the fight, and then you'll never get caught because you won't get randomly tested because it gets done so little and you'll pass the urine test at the fight because the stuff will be out your system by then.

Urine testing is probably "better" at detecting many PED's, anyway.

Not the point, they should cover all grounds. The point is that it's not ruthless

Boxing will be the new Cycling in 5 or so years. The Organisations greed over morals and fairness will go too far (if it hasn't already). Governments will intiate change.

Mark my words, Price is 100% correct to say that as maybe he has heard stories that we wont ever hear about.

Yep, good spot. Good that a couple of cheats have been caught recently but more definitely needs to be done.
