WTF is PBF demanding w/ those Blood Tests???

[Hornfinger]

In response to the only part that's relevant....

I'll follow the link, I'll read the link, But more importantly I'll wait till the random blood testing is brought in. Unlike the pactards, I don't take someones word as gospel, I wait to see action. If it get's brought in I'll be happy.


'maybe to promote the appearence of a clean sport' Your child like nievity is astounding. And in an earlier post I said I was in the realm of fantasy for imagining boxing in a perfect world.....

The important thing is you agree current testing is underfunded and inadequet, and that is the base line of all my argurments.

Rules are for people that follow the rules. People that don't follow the rules don't give a fuk about the rules. Cutting straight to the point, there is not guarantee that people aren't going to cheat. (No matter what safe guards you put into place). You can not devise a perfect system without the participants willingness to put forth integrity.

A prudent step to take is to cut out the participants that don't follow the rules. Thus we have testing to address the issue of banned substances. The NSAC is considered a leader in the US when it comes to combat sports. As such, As a public agency under the watchful eye of the "World", I trust that they make "informed decisions" rather than knee jerk reactions. I do not hold the position that they are adequate or inadequate. I have faith that what ever they do with regards to testing in the sport, is the best that can be done. Whenever a fight comes along, I'm content, ready and I'll just sit at the edge of my chair a watch with enthusiasm.

I just see that as rediculously nieve stance to take.

I'm ultra critical of these things, if you sit back and let organisations do what they want expect them to do what's right for them and their wallets, not the good of the sport. Why should I trust NSAC? As I say they will go up in my estimations when they bring in random blood testing, not before.

If you hold peoples feet to the fire and keep organisations on their toes generally I think you get better and more consistant governance.

Yes I do love big mega fights, but ultimately I'm of the opinion that by being stricter on having a level playing and doing more to deter cheating we will get more evenly matched contests and less one sided hammerings that the sport sometimes seems to be plagued with.
