yes, boxers get tested for drugs but the testing is merely a cosmetic display.
if anyone actually believes that a an athlete that makes over 10 million in a single night's work is not going to beat this test i have some prime
swamp picturesque land out in oaklahoma that i would like to sell you.
there are ways to beat these tests even when you get caught red handed.
roy jones junior failed a drug test whilst he was light hw champ post richard hall fight. his testosterone levels were about 10 times the level that would be considered using artificial means.
his excuse was, get this, 'nasal decongestant'! i'm assuming he is referring to the cortiso steroids (not anabolic) sometimes present in these preparations.
when this one didn't fly he blamed 'ripped fuel'. i was laughing even harder at this point because the active ingredient (at the time) in ripped fuel was ma huang/ephedrine, which is a stimulant, not a hormone.
in any case his reasons were accepted and he wasn't even fined. in fact he didn't miss a beat.
even fat tub of lard james toney tested positive for nandrolone (not exactly a shining example on the physical benefits of steroids). he was caught red handed and got about a 6 month suspension (the guy only fights about once a year
).
trust me, boxers take performance enhancers, including epo, beta antagonists, anabolics, stimulants, etc, etc. why do you think they hire drug gurus to avdise them?
