    The biggest myth about PED's is that "big muscles" are the main giveaway that an athlete is using. PED's are used for endurance and recovery as much as power. Testing in general is way behind the drugs. Add to that the fact that sports are a big business....and the organizing bodies and sponsors would hate to see superstars be found out as cheats. Lance Armstrong is a perfect example. The French where suspicious of him for YEARS...but we here in the states thought it was sour grapes...how could this cancer survivor be a cheat?! He took all the tests, etc. Up to the last moment...when Lance finally admitted he cheated...some of his fans where trying to defend him. While it certainly shouldn't always be the case...it seems athletes that come under suspicion for PEDs...are more often then not....guilty.

    There's only one fighter that has agreed to 24/7/365 random testing and that's Donaire. No other fighter has signed up for it despite it being available to them for free. Donaire says he can't even put four pounds of lean muscle on his frame due to all the cardio a twelve round fighter has to do.

    Res ipsa loquitur.

    Yep, the fact of the matter is MOST professional boxers at top level HAVE to use PEDs.

    I am sure Pac is not alone.

    You can hardly train for boxing at the required level as the modern fighter must to be competitive without breaking down via sickness, fatigue or injury and/or retain your lean body mass let alone increase it.

    The testing is routinely beat.

    That's unfortunately the nature of pro sport in general these days I am afraid.
