Why Random Blood Testing Wont Become Compulsory in Boxing

• The reduced blood size in the body (or rather the more dilute blood as the plasma is replaced in a matter of hours) hampers the main part’s ability to carry oxygen. This causes fatigue in a subdue case scenario and in more serious incidences, will directly cause boxers to be vitiate and injured in the ring. Perhaps even fatally. While it is only a relatively small amount of blood they take for testing, less than donating blood for eg, it can still have a drastic and culminative affect on the body (severity varies from themselves to person). Usually 2 or 3 vials of blood are taken at a time and each vial will keep back 5-15ml, depending on who is taking the blood. Therefore, in Pacquiao’s encase, he was to be required to take blood at or around the time of the initial press conference, again 30 days before the against, at any random time after that (possibly even more than once) and then one more after the fight. Lets say they took blood from him twice at non-specific. That means he would have had 4 samples taken pre fight at between 10 and 45ml of blood each moment. He could potentially have given around 4% of the blood of an average 160lb man(180mls from 4.7l). Pacquiao does not weigh 160lbs, therefore his cut would probably be higher and given that it will take the body up to 2 months to replace the hemoglobin-containing red blood cells (not until after the conflict with), Pacquiao would have been at a possible severe disadvantage in his bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Some people, wouldn’t have felt any dissimilar on a 4% deficit, however, with Pacquiao’s previous disaster against Morales after a blood assess, it is reasonable to assume it would be enough to disrupt his stamina enough to have a detrimental effect on his chances of friendly.

First, drug tests do not examine "fat", they show the presence of either a metabolized drug or the drug itself. Second, yes metabolized thc is stored in the fat cells and as those fat cells are employed up by the body the metabolized THC is
The contemporaneous state of drug testing done by these state commissions is a joke. They don't check-up for EPO. They don't test for designer steroids.
