1. Blood testing for PEDs if not done randomly is nothing but a waste of time and resources. It is a fact that there are numerous masking drugs and agents out there that can effectively conceal the presence of illegal drugs in an athlete’s body in a matter of minutes. A negative result in a scheduled blood test is almost a guarantee.
2. Assuming that the commission catches someone positive for PED use, the public probably wouldn’t know about it since NYSAC regulations do not allow medical information of boxer to be released to any institution or interested party without the boxer’s authorization in writing.
3. Authenticity of some test results would always be questionable because NYSAC regulations allow boxer to use laboratories of his choice to draw and analyze blood if the boxer resides at a place where Quest Lab does not operate.
Perhaps I’m wrong about this. But if I am right, NYSAC needs to review some of its existing regulations first before considering implementing effective, transparent, and reliable drug testing procedures.
