She was a junior too 
It’s not even as if the Delhi state champs would be stacked with world-beating athletes. Even the best athletes there would be nowhere on the world stage

13 ? Deaths so far this year in boxing / combat sports
One day somebody is going to be responsible for someone’s death then pop hot?!?
What are you doing with that guy/ girl?
Jail is the most common answer but lawyer types say that would be unlikely.
I disagree.

There wasn’t a WADA EPO test until 2003/2004. They just tested that the rider’s blood wasn’t too thick with haematocrit, and they weren’t allowed to race until it came back down. Too much haematocrit had riders dying in their sleep from blood clots

Remind me how long it was until the Jamaican ADA (JADCO) actually started OOC testing.

I’m sure they do ! Bit a small % ( at certain times) needs to get over the back fence sharpish !
It’s always been this way and it looks like it always will be.

Indeed. Watching a Micheal Bisbing documentary the other day. Lost the sight in one eye fighting a guy who was on steroids. Nearly ended his career before it had even begun.

I’m not sure I get what you’re saying?
I used to follow UFC & don’t any more so I’m not really up on the current status but…
UFC had an obvious PED problem and Dana hired the biggest name in anti doping, the guy that bought down Lance when all the WADA stuff failed. It was a long time ago but I listened to him on Joe Rogan & he was buzzing with enthusiasm for the things he was implementing to clean it up.
Years later all those beef cakes have disappeared, somethings working 
.
I’ve no doubt UFC is corrupt AF but seems like they made an effort on the doping front. I guess Dana is similar to Joe too in being open with steroid use but then neither of them are competing.

I’m guessing so
Tyson fury ( if he shows on 23/12/23) is “allegedly “ getting 200 million for the heavyweight unification fight according to dinosaur Bob arum.
Wasn’t Floyd beat your wife mayweather the first sportsman to earn 100 million or a billion ?
With American PPV prices at $90 a pop and the rest of the world rising rapidly it generates huge revenue now.
When you get into the politics it’s really really corrupt and money furled, peds is a huge problem but probably not it’s biggest
