I never said Holyfield claimed anything other than divine intervention regarding his heart "miracle"...Some Facts: only urinalysis are performed after professional boxing matches (when performed at all) which can be EASILY masked for injected steriods and CANNOT detect HGH...The guys who get popped are the ones taking orals which can be detected through urinalysis...as a matter of fact the WBA only dictates that the only mandatory drug tests are for championship fights and what test is administered is not defined...a blood test is required to renew a license but even that test does not require testing for illegal drugs just for HIV and communicable diseases...Originally Posted by Lords Gym

Remember Tommy Morrison admitted to heavy steriod use but was NEVER tested positive and only tested positive for HIV, steroids were never tested for in the mandatory blood tests....The facts are that todays performance enhancing drugs require thorough blood tests to identify (along the lines of Olympic testing) and none of the sanctioning bodies will opt for this sort of testing (due to expensive)...unless of course laws are enacted that force this testing....
So to your point there will never be "hard facts" at the present rate so using that logic ..."no one is using steriods in professional boxing"...
