US Anti-Doping Agency: "A positive test for Shane or Floyd means a 2 year BAN!"

While the notion that they could enforce a suspension in boxing is funny, if USADA can get their piece of the pie, more power to 'em. They could make things better. Thats all we can ask for.

I dont get what you are saying 1. part of testing is to prevent a person from using PEDs while training for an event. Even if they say "TESTING STARTS NOW!!!" the participants still do not know when their first test will take place only that it will happen during the course of those 6 weeks 2. if not being able to undergo a program because they will not know when a test will happen isn't it logical to assume that the chances of them being able to utilize the effects of PEDs will be minimal during fight time simply because they will too far away from their last cycle period? 3. you do realize PEDs aren't meant to be some instaneous type of fix don't you? It isn't administered then BOOM big muscles appear. Each one has different effects but they all kind of share the same goal. To enhance performance through training. If you are unable to use those PEDs while training then you may not get the same results as say when you were doing them.

My point was that the begining and the end of the testing period is structured. There's 6 weeks of random testing...6 out of 52 I dont get what you are saying 1. part of testing is to prevent a person from using PEDs while training for an event.

That is correct. Tygart said if a fighter tested positive for a banned substance that they would "be there" at the hearing to argue for their proposed 2 year ban. They have no jurisdiction over the State rules and regulations. All they can do is put in their opinion. The rest is up to the States Boxing Commision.

cant u guys read? why u all speculating when all this is well documented and being reported everywhere they said it clearly "Stiff penalties await any athlete whose samples tests positive for any banned substance.A two year suspension is handed down, along with immediate cancellation of of the event should either fighter (or both) test positive". Now thats pretty clear to me Link Ur missing what this is. It's all a posture; a "look at how we do it" thing. The USADA results have enforceable repercussions in the Olympics. They have no authority in pro boxing. If Nevada wants to license a dirty May or Molsey right after May-Mosley, there is no legal authority stopping them (though they'd be SHAMED). USADA is NOT a government or law agency. They're a private company affiliated with WADA.

Make it a life long ban...

Its weird how only pac fans are calling the testing a joke and saying that the OC is a joke. Geee I wonder why? I wish Mosley and Floyd the best. I laugh at the posters that say pac will only test according to the regulations right now by the commission but yet he changes those regulations to fight Cotto at a catch weight? ANother head scratcher I dont know how you can defend that? P.S. I cant stand Floyd just FYI

well as I understand it it will enable a person to go through several cycles so random testing kind of inhibits that say you are part of a random test intinerary. You literally will not know when your first or last test is. Not knowing that would you take the risk of cycling through a program when someone could knock on your door right after you started? random testing in terms of the actual test isn't any better than structured in fact its probably the same testing however. it is a much better deterrent than structured testing because of the unknown factor My point was that the begining and the end of the testing period is structured.

Anyone else find it ironic that there's only going to be 6 weeks of testing for this fight? Considering Mayweather was ranting on how some PED's only take a few hours/days to clear someone's system, why did they wait 2 weeks after training started to start testing? well as I understand it it will enable a person to go through several cycles so random testing kind of inhibits that say you are part of a random test intinerary.

This is a joke. Only morons could fall for this deception of a test which is not even enforceable.

Its a false sense of security. There's no year round testing (which is crucial for OSDT) and even the timing of the testing is a joke. 6/8 weeks of training camp will be tested, and both these guys have been training well before the fight was announced. Its a good step but its a half-assed dog and pony show step IMO. It is better than nothing, rather fail by trying than not doing nothing at all

Im amazed how some ppl see this as a negative. It doesn't hurt the sport and the Mosley/Floyd fight is still months away. It is the first time and we got to see how does it plays out. Of course it is gonna need some tweeking or it might not work at all. Floyd is no where near of fighting Pac and that is all you hear. You can only cross one bridge at a time Its a false sense of security.

i think that would be good for the sport lets the fighters know if they what to cheat then ur goin to pay for ur actions

Its funny how people question the methods and ins and outs of the Mosley-Floyd testing yet say nothing about the crap testing that Clottey and Pac had. Weird. Basically. I really don't care if their motive is to get paid (duh!). If it betters the sport, I'm all for it. And their success rate - compared to the success rate in boxing - is so far apart it's ridiculous. When's the last time we caught someone on EPO?
