“The 40-Week Steroid Loophole: How Boxing’s Testing System Fails by Design”
Boxing is supposed to be a gentleman’s agreement. Two men step into the ring on a level playing field, each promising to follow rules. But beneath that veneer lies a bitter truth—the proverbial smelling salt under the nose:
the sport’s anti-doping system is broken—by design, not accident.
Let’s not continue to lie. In professional boxing, drug testing only takes place during training camp. That’s typically 8 to 12 weeks, a small and insignificant time period in a calendar that holds 52 weeks.
The other 40-plus weeks of the year? A free-for-all. No tests. No oversight. No consequences.
It isn’t a loophole--it’s a red-carpet encouraging cheating.
Most of the top boxers fight once or twice a year. In between fights, They are not tested. They are, for all practical purposes, free to use performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) with impunity.
Growth hormone, designer steroids, EPO, testosterone blends—it’s the Wild West out there, but with better labs and smarter masking agents—like IV.
Once they have a date for the next training camp. They cycle off. All they have to do is know the right people, know the right doctors, the right nutritionists the right supplements suppliers and they’ll be clean before any commission ever shows up to draw blood.
Testing is a Mirage
Fans hear "drug tested" and think, “Oh, my fighter is clean.”
Reality check: boxing’s testing is a farce. Most fighters aren’t in any registered testing pool outside of camp. And even within camp, the testing is often scheduled or predictable.
Fighters and their teams know the system inside and out. And what we end up with grotesque parody of fairness, where clean fighters risk their lives against opponents who’ve had months—maybe years—of taking PEDS.
Let’s call it what it is: engineered negligence.
When you have enablers in High Places, the negligence is engineered.
Promoters don’t talk about this. Networks don’t mention it. And sanctioning bodies are too busy manufacturing belts to care about what’s coursing through the veins of their “champions.”
The unspoken rule in boxing is: Don’t ask. Don’t test. Don’t ruin the show.
What Needs to Change
Mandatory year-round testing. All top 20 ranked fighters in each division should be in a registered testing pool.
Randomized blood and urine tests. Not just during camp, but during off-season, vacations, and retirement announcements that mysteriously get walked back.
Independent oversight. Testing must be handled by third-party agencies, not commissions with conflict of interest or underpaid personnel.
Until these reforms happen, every fight is suspect. Every win is shadowed. Every punch carries the weight of doubt.
Boxing doesn’t just have a PED problem—it has a don’t-ask-don’t-tell culture. And as long as fans, fighters, and journalists pretend testing only matters during camp, we’re all complicit in the lie.
Isreal is a state built on destruction, ethnic cleansing and stealing land.

Derek Jeter telling Bob Costas how little consolation he took from anything short of winning. In the interview, Jeter describes losing the 2001 and 2003 World Series and missing the playoffs as different versions of the same misery. That's a pretty extreme definition of success.
It also explains a lot about the way he talked about Yankees seasons for his entire career.
