USADA Chief Tygart says Xylocaine okay for Mayweather

[7www7]

Los Angeles - Manny Pacquiao has removed one of the major negotiating barriers in achieving a bout against Floyd Mayweather Junior by agreeing to blood testing up to fourteen days before a bout.

As the boxing community awaits Mayweather's response, The Boxing Truth Radio invited the Chief Executive Officer of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) Travis Tygart to share some of the ins and outs regarding their more stringent style of drug testing.

Tygart, whose organization would be in charge of the drug testing for a possible Mayweather - Pacquiao bout, made it clear that a drug test for a bout in the Fall of 2010 would not shed any light on the possible use of performance enhancing drugs prior to the six month testing windows for the event.

Theoretically, Pacquiao and Mayweather could have used drugs up to six months before there future battle and nobody would be able to verify that use. Though it would be harder for Mayweather, who was tested by the USADA before his bout with Shane Mosley earlier this month.

There has been some discussion of Mayweather possibly using a numbing agent called Xylocaine to numb his historically brittle hands in the weeks leading up to fights in recent years. Though nobody in Mayweather's camp has admitted to the use of this drug, an HBO Boxing pre-fight segment back in 2002 hinted to Floyd possibly using the substance.

Regardless of Mayweather's use of Xylocaine, or non-use, the drug is legal and not on the banned substances list as confirmed by Tygart on The Boxing Truth Radio.

It was also reviled by Tygart that the subject of Xylocaine use had come up in the negotiations for drug-testing used before and after Mayweather's bout with Shane Mosley.

There's probably a reason it is legal. None of us are doctors.

Not to mention, no one has actual proof that Mayweather has ever even used it.

To me it's pretty much a myth that he ever used it at all.

As Kizer explained it, fighters must, under penalty of perjury, sign a statement at the fight weigh ins discloosing what, if any, pain or other serious medication they have used or plan to use anytime between the weigh in and fight time.

“Mayweather has never disclosed any such information so, as far as we are concerned, this is not any kind of issue. I know the ardent Pacquiao fans talk a lot about but to us it's the same as the speculation about Pacquiao using any sort of drugs which comes from the Mayweather fans out there. Both of them have always tested clean in Nevada.”

Kizer said he could name other boxers who have asked permission to use aspirin, Lidocaine, cortisone and other “pain therapeutic” medications.

Whats surprising about this?

Damn. USADA is indeed a sham!

Now where are the people who says USADA is following the WADA procedure????

If this private entity is following WADA rules, why would Tygart say xylocaine is off the list? Does he really knows what he is doing or they're just in it for the money?

How much could they have been paid by floyd on this?

This is really getting muckier and muckier everytime they open their mouth.

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)

One of the world’s leading authorities on anti-doping, WADA is the primary source for which drugs are banned in sports or athletic competitions worldwide. According to WADA, via GlobalDRO.com, “None of the ingredients in this brand (Xylocaine) are currently included on the WADA Prohibited List”. This means that Xylocaine is not banned by WADA.

It does not specifically says it in WADA but it definitely says COCAINE AND ITS DERIVATIVES is definitely ON THE LIST!

Is WADA contradicting itself now just like floyd contradict himself always?
