I would hope boxing did tougher testing than any other sport but I doubt it....I just don't want to see it be like Pro Wrestling, that genre of "entertainment" has really had bad rep because of the rampant drug use...the whole Chris Benoit thing was horrible and all due to roids

I think it's just as prevelant, just different types of roids. You don't hear of sprinters and cyclists having "roid rage" and murdering their families. Their goals are different so they use different substances. Wrestling is bulk and muscular definition. You can see the effects, same as bodybuilding.

Steriod use is EXTREMELY common in all types of top level sports, amateur and professional, individual sports and team sports. Realistically the higher the stakes the more likely. Violence is actually a better reason for someone to use steriods. People are more likely to fight dirty than play checkers dirty. Not condoning it's use, but let's not be naive. It's an equal playing field cause most are using is my bet.
