The entire Ped issue where boxing is concerned resembles a straw man argument when “cost” becomes the cop out go to line. As if somehow cost refutes the need. I mean that’s direct testimony that the powers at be don’t want more stringent testing.

Tests presently are window dressing. We know this to be true because random testing rarely catches anyone. So how would scheduled? Only idiots who screw up their cycles get caught like Salido. And that’s only because they do not employ the top rate chemists err nutritionists/conditioning coaches.

The WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO and the rest of the parasitical underling fringe Orgs should be the ones flipping the bill and it should be at the heart of the sanctioning process instead of designing more belts to collect more fees on. Promoters should also share some of the costs. It should not be incumbent on any fighter to have to fork out the cash. Start with all title fights using random testing and then it will I believe over time it would cause a trickle down effect. It would also force more labs to be built which is another built in excuse as to why random testing is not feasible. Its as if a system is in place that is designed to be exploited.
