Whats if a fighter tested postive for a banned substance 1 day before the fight?

usada is a joke...they can be bought.

Goldenboy already bought em.

Pretend it didn't happen until after the fight lol

USADA are sullying their reputation with these bullshit arrangements they have with Golden Boy. They need to do something about it for their own sake.

If all that stuff in the Hauser article had came out last summer when the Lance-USADA battle was reaching boiling point, Armstrong would have been all over it. The world's media would have been covering these incidents instead of a handful of boxing journalists. In a way, it actually would have great for the sport if that had happened. That pressure would have provoked a response.

VADA >> USASA.

VADA test for all types of steroids including undetectable designer steroids and HGH while USADA just test for common steroids.

Depends on the amount of money at stake. As long as the fighter is outed and publicly shamed then all is well with me.

how can they test for them if they undetectable?


but back on subject, from what I understand usada doesnt confirm you cheated till you absouletly fail, that mean you fail sample A then you get retested in sample B and if you fail that you can appeal and get a thrid and final sample and whatever the third is, is what you test will be. If you didnt test anything for anything in your final test they put that down for the public as the official test and doesnt let you know about the 2 before but if you fail then they let the public know about all the test before.

Like with morales he failed, weeks before the fight but that didnt matter cause they have to do his B samples and he failed that then they appealed and so they have to do the final testing and in morales case the results wont be back till after the fight so no officially ruling could be made on it, and we would have never knew this information had it not been leaked, well eventually we would have known when he failed his final test but not a minute before according to protocol.

Schaefer is terrified of test results.

[KING MEAT]

but i do understand that it takes several days for the results to come in from the lab. im talkin about a test that was taken a week prior (random tests, props to Mayweather and especially Donaireh) then commission be like "your test last week came up positive."

just needed to add this in there so boxingscene experts dont attack me

[leonthegee]

USADAs good enough for the olympics. Thats good enough for boxing in my opinion.

Schaefer is terrified of test results.

Wouldn't you be? his entire business relies on a fighter not being dumb enough to cheat and/or get caught cheating.

Can you imagine if big name like Canelo Alvarez or FMJ were to fail a test during the week of a fight? it would be financially disasterous for GBP.

Not condoning their little arrangements, but one can see their motivation particularly when so many other boxing promoters aren't even bothering with testing.
