I'm confident that is rife right through boxing.
Especially with boxers taking so much time between fights and very little testing between fights.

Boxers generally aren't tested until fight week. Sometimes additional testing can be stipulated in the contract but not always and often a contract isn't signed until a couple of months before a fight.

Because there is no overriding international federation, the testing regime isn't really properly outlined and enforced. The whole system is open to abuse.

I agree. Boxing will be riddled.

I think the worst out of all of the sports will be football though. It is so suspicious that no one has been popped. There is too much money in the game for people not to be taking drugs.

Rugby has it's problems but they are getting caught at least.

Rest assured, the more money involved in a sport the more people will be taking PEDs.
 
Every sport will be rife with it. There have been numerous examples of athletes who are known to have doped but "never failed a test", and yet all governing bodies keep pretending that testing works.

At times, in the recent past, I've been concerned that we had a significant number of our players taking performance reducing drugs.

Who was the Spanish doctor involved with the blood doping scandal? It always struck me as very convenient that a Spanish court ordered the destruction of all the blood samples.

In cycling I think if those teams were doping those specific riders and those riders were winning everything there would be riders calling it out. The days of omertà have gone in the peloton I think (and hope).
