We address the recent case of Petchtanong, who was stripped of his title due to testing positive for metenolone and boldenone. Although he claims those substances were doctor prescribed for injuries, it is important to note that they are not legal for active and competing athletes.We also discuss the lack of drug testing in Asia and other parts of the world, shedding light on the varying approaches and inconsistencies in regulations across different regions.Another intriguing point we explore is the PRIDE championship from Japan, which openly admitted to not conducting drug tests.
