Answer 1

The need to bulk up is not as great in boxing. Most boxers , except heavyweights find themselves trying to lose weight. Even Tony only took steroids to help come back from an injury quicker. Steroids simply don't help as much in boxing as they do in other sports. besides, boixing is not the most highly regulated sport to begin with despite having as million governing bodies. The governing bodies have one concern and one concern only...sanctioning fees for bogus belts.

Answer 2

I guess because in other sports, steroids can make a big difference in performance, but in boxing, you can have big muscles but be a lumbering hulk and still get KO'd. Like, if you have big muscles in baseball, you could hit a ball further than somebody else with the same batting skill who had smaller muscles. In football or wrestling, you would be right up on somebody and if you were stronger, you could have an advantage. But in boxing, you'd have to have endurance and some agility and steroids don't necessarily make you better at either. Plus, a little 'roid rage probably doesn't matter in boxing--they're punching each other.

But just because boxing doesn't care much right now doesn't mean that they won't eventually. It took a while for baseball to officially "care" and they still don't have the same standards like, say, football. So boxing will probably catch up, too. Steroids are just fundamentally wrong--it's basically picking winners based on who's the best junkie. Ugh.
