“Bar my last fight, I’ve been tested near all my fights,” said the 33-year-old. “But that’s only in the fights. That’s not through the training camp because what I see, what I think of professional boxing is a lot of people say go, because when you’re getting tested, unless you’re on VADA and something or stuff like that, it’s ‘in competition.’ What’s ‘in competition?’ It’s on fight night. So if you’re taking shit [drugs] in training camp, and by the time you get to fight night and you’ve cycled it out, and then you’re fighting but you’re clean on paper, you know, it’s ‘in competition.’ That shit’s out of competition. Who knows? It’s just the way it is. Anything can happen. Anything goes. Nobody really cares. Zero people care really about you but yourself and your own family. Everybody, and maybe your coach, like you’ve got good coaches, like Grant [Smith, who Conlan is with], you can tell he cares about his fighters and really wants security and safety for his fighters. And a lot of coaches are like that, obviously. But you do see a lot of coaches as well over the big names and they can make money off, they’ll jump on it. There’s people like that and they don’t really care. They just want to earn what they’re going to earn.”
