The Importance of Robust PED Testing in Elite Professional Boxing
In the latest episode of ProBox TV’s “Deep Waters,” the panel examined the feasibility of an elite professional boxing league and the significance of implementing a robust performance-enhancing drug (PED) testing regime to ensure its success. Analyst Paulie Malignaggi emphasized that effective PED testing would need to be implemented at the grassroots level to be executed properly. Fellow analyst Chris Algieri noted that a successful anti-doping program would lead to a cleaner sport, thereby limiting the reigns of titleholders and facilitating more frequent turnover among champions.
