Why Travis Tygart and the USADA are bad for boxing

[loui_ludwig]

How can't a writer understand the meaning of random testing?

. As USADA said, urine cannot catch everything, then why agree to stop at date 18 days before th efight. There was random testing but it was urine only the date of the final blood test.

I think you should tell Travis that...

See some of you guys defend Mayweather for the OST and believed that blood testing can be done anytime, even a few days or week after the fight. And then when you saw there was an agreement for a final date for blood test 18 days before the fight, the best you can say is "tell Travis that".

Can we all agree that this blood testing issue was one big joke?

I mean the whole argument behind Pacquiao's cutoff request is that he could be doping in the final 2 weeks of training, but now we learn that they don't even blood test past 18 days, wtf was the point of all the arguments and posturing?

The only one laughing is Floyd Mayweather, since once again, he's on the backfoot.

If OST will help clean out the cheaters of a sports, then make it mandatory.

What is a joke of course is Mayweather keeps insisting on a 14 day cut off and USADA saying testing anytime, maybe for urine, but there was an agreed cut off date for blood.

Ok first, just because the Mosley-Mayweather fight didn't have blood tests after 18 days before the fight doesn't mean it'll be the same for every fight(if they happen to be involved in future fights.)

Random testing is just that. RANDOM. Meaning for one fight they can come in and test 3 weeks before the fight and then turn around and test 3-4 days before another. These cut-off dates and other mess is unneccesary. I think Manny's people feel comfortable knowing that there wasn't blood drawn 18 days before the fight. But they might be taking this lightly cause that might not be the case if USADA does it for Floyd and Manny

Why can't people understand that this is "OLYMPIC STYLE" testing, in other words "Mayweather's" Olympic style testing. If he really wanted to clean up the sport he'd have requested full Olympic testing scheduling which involves all year round testing as it's been well noted that most chemically enhanced athletes cheat in the off-season during training.

The USADA has to answer the public if Floyd vs Pac fight push through then taking Pac's blood hours before the fight. There is a conspiracy between them and Floyd if this thing happens somehow.

USADA why stop testing before 18 days to the fight? If Mosley or Floyd took PEDs in that time period how do you gonna catch them?

14 days is good considering mosley/floyd was 18 days.
