If they would have notified all parties the moment Peterson tested positive, the show would have likely been saved. Nobody wanted to face Khan on less than two weeks notice.

But the commission itself is also pretty guilty though. They didn't cancel the fight even after they found out.Last edited by DoktorSleepless; 02-22-2013, 03:34 AM.

all of my heroes are on the gas.
boxing is going to be like many of the other professional sports that were found out to be very dirty.
if blood and urine are frozen they can be tested many years down the line, when the newest drugs drugs of our current era are finally something for which tests exist. i'm starting to think you'll find all types of stuff in everybody's blood. i think the "strength and conditioning coaches" are the guys bringing them into the sport. conte, heredia, ariza
usada has a bad track record in it's short tenure in boxing, and an even worse reputation in other sports.
vada was developed and founded with victor conte working as one of its advisors. at the very least conte will have an easier time getting around its testing.Last edited by New England; 02-22-2013, 10:23 AM.

At least we have moved away from the "USADA is a puppet organization run by Floyd to make Pacmen test dirty!" period of idiocy. I don't care which organization does the testing, they're both ok in my book for the time being.

Originally posted by techliam View PostHow can you know whether or not an organisation is truly trustworthy, if you are looking at it from the outside? There could be so many inner workings that only the elites know about. The facts you used are cool and all, but really that isn't enough to call them trustworthy.
