USADA's Travis Tygart on Blood-Testing, Steroids, Boxing.

how do you test numbing agents? if you use the spray type...how do you test that especially after the fight? im no doctor but wouldnt it be the same as if someone was to snort coke? it gets to ur bloodstream and can be detected?

thanks for not responding to my post with any facts..just a recycled post recycled response for a recycled post.....no prblem

lol so you have to poke some holes in your skin for it to go to your blood?:lol1: anyway, you can always add "imo" in your posts if you're not sure...that's not very hard to do and you won't be look at as a liar. i didnt say you have to poke holes in your body..i said "it has to go into your blood in order for it to work"meaning it can be sprayed onto the skin and still go into the blood...t

even if you spay something on your hand it has to go in your blood in order for it to work...but then again theres ways around everything..im no doctor so dont get me to lying lol so you have to poke some holes in your skin for it to go to your blood?:lol1: anyway, you can always add "imo" in your posts if you're not sure...that's not very hard to do and you won't be look at as a liar.

Hey PUGA, remember this article the next time you post that Mayweather and Mosley agreed to an 18 day cutoff. I hope you read and understood it!!!! hey sucka....read on http://boxing.fanhouse.com/2010/05/25/conte-goodman-advocate-independent-drug-testing-for-boxing/ "As it applies to Mayweather-Mosley, for example, I have no idea why they didn't test blood for 19 days before the fight. If you're just testing a couple of weeks before the fight, then they could have used all of the drugs before that and let it taper off," said Conte. "But there are many ways to circumvent this program that they used for the Mayweather-Mosley fight. I understand that the threat was there. Is it a deterrent? Yes it is. Is it a good thing? Yes it is," said Conte. "But is it fullproof? Absolutely not. The effect of what they did was that when the drug testing started, they're clean. But they can still maintain the benefit of the usage all the way up to and through the fight." Goodman agreed, indicating that the long, window between the final day of blood testing and the fight impuned the system and the good intentions of Mayweather, who has vowed to champion the inclusion of random testing. "I, too, was concerned about the lack of blood testing of Mosley and Mayweather right up until their fight. It unnecessarily promoted conspiracy theories as to why a fighter who had previously admitted EPO use was not thoroughly examined," said Goodman, adding that "the testing needs to be tailored to boxing and MMA."

how do you test numbing agents? if you use the spray type...how do you test that especially after the fight? If Team Pacquiao dont want Floyd using Xylocaine then put it in the contract along with the 10 million per pound penalty, the ring size, gloves, and 50/50 purse split that they requested and Floyd agreed to. Mayweather: Okay all I want OST Pacquiao: I'll fight Clottey Mayweather: Ok, do you agree to OST Pacquiao: I'll fight Margarito!! Mayweather: OK, lets do OST Pacquiao: I'll fight Mosley!! What Clottey, Margarito, and Mosley all have in common, no power to negotiate. No ability to demand Pac get off the Roids.

No fighter should fight nor face an opponent with numb hands," said Goodman. "Both fighters wanted to demonstrate that they fought free of PEDs that night. That was not adequately accomplished, which is a shame for the participants, whom I do believe fought clean." you better than a commision doctor larry?.... thanks for not responding to my post with any facts..just a recycled post

Hey PUGA, remember this article the next time you post that Mayweather and Mosley agreed to an 18 day cutoff. I hope you read and understood it!!!! Exactly, this article does nothing but make Pactards (PullCounter, in particular) look stupid

Detroit Boxing Examiner May 22, 7:44 PM Now that the genie is out of the bottle, or to put it simply, the results of the controversial random Olympic- style drug testing supposedly conducted on both Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Shane Mosley en route to their May 1st welterweight fight are now released to the public, a lot of people are crying out and shaking their heads in disbelief- that the much publicized drug testing conducted on the two fighters by the U.S. Anti- Doping Agency (USADA) is nothing but a sham. Now, any boxing fan out there is aware that the negotiations for the Manny Pacquiao- Floyd Mayweather, Jr. mega fight bogged down because of differences in the cut off date of the so- called random Olympic- style drug testing which focused mainly on blood testing wherein the camp of Manny Pacquiao proposed a 24- day cutoff plus one right after the fight to which the Floyd Mayweather, Jr. camp countered with its last offer of a 14- day cutoff. The USADA report currently circulating around various media outlets revealed that both fighters were tested a total of seven times including one for blood and urine after the fight, but the most telling of which were the April 12 & 13 cutoff dates for blood tests conducted on Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. respectively which were about +/- 18 days before fight night. So, where is the promise that they will conduct the said blood tests anytime up until the night before fight night? Where and when did the “leveling the playing field” dogma come into play in this case? Isn’t it a complete disservice to boxing that, despite the hype and publicity, they failed to back up their claims considering that Shane Mosley is a confessed performance- enhancing drugs (PEDs) user in the past? Some people will point out that the 18- day blood testing cutoff in the Mayweather- Mosley is immaterial since the focus should be on the word “random” and therefore even if the USADA cutoff period was 18 days before fight night, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Shane Mosley had no idea that they will not be tested again after the said date, which would be enough deterrent for them not to cheat. Yet, these same people were also the ones who were very vocal that a fighter can take PEDs and wash them completely out of one’s system in a little less than 24 hours afterwards. Thus, on the basis of that questionable rationale above, Travis Tygart, the chief executive officer of the USADA, concluded that both Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Shane Mosley passed the random Olympic- style drug testing conducted by his agency and that the two fighters were clean athletes and “consummate professionals throughout the entire process.” But if Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Travis Tygart and company think that the boxing public will buy this flimsy and illogical reasoning then they are absolutely mistaken. If Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Travis Tygart and company were able to sell the promise of random Olympic- style testing to gullible people in the past, this time they will be hard put to repeat their success for the boxing public are now aware of their brand of double talk. If Floyd Maywether, Jr., Travis Tygart and company believed that they can come out of this debacle unscathed, then they are absolutely wrong. “It’s rather disappointing to learn that Money May and this USADA tried to pull a fast one on us. They thought that they can just easily get away from it that’s why. But we know better“ -- Marcus V. Detroit, MI Contrary to some opinions, boxing fans are not dumb people who are not capable of seeing behind the smoke screen that they are being short-changed, and their intellect challenged to let people like Floyd Mayweather, Jr, Travis Tygart and company get away with it. And contrary to some stereotypes, boxing fans are not a bunch of "punched drunks" to let people like Floyd Mayweather, Jr, Travis Tygart and company fool them and continue to insult their intelligence when it is obvious that they are being taken for a ride. This random Olympic-style drug testing charade being perpetrated by Floyd Mayweather, Jr, in cooperation with USADA’s Travis Tygart, has to stop. This comedy show run by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in cooperation with USADA’s Travis Tygart has to end. Travis Tygart and the USADA have no place in professional sports and they need to clean up their own backyard first, which is literally and figuratively littered with PEDs and cheaters of all colors and sizes before snooping on the business of others. When that time comes, then they can have the moral authority to look on the other side of the fence. But for now, they better stay home and mind their own business. So, If Floyd Mayweather, Jr. wants to “clean up boxing” then he should take up his case to the proper authority that has proper jurisdiction over the said PEDs issues like the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) or any other state commissions and let them decide on the matter. Oh by the way, what kind of a boxing fan are you? Hey PUGA, remember this article the next time you post that Mayweather and Mosley agreed to an 18 day cutoff. I hope you read and understood it!!!!

http://boxing.fanhouse.com/2010/04/11/xylocaine-not-prohibited-by-usada/ The painkiller, Xylocaine, sometimes used by fighters to numb their hands against the pain of constant punching, is not on the United States Anti Doping Agency's list of prohibited substances, according to a top official with that organization. "It's a common local anesthesia, and it's not prohibited," said Travis Tygart, chief executive of the USADA. "It's perfectly allowable to take under the World Anti-Doping Agency's program." Tygart's organization has been brought in to "administer Olympic style, random drug testing" for both blood and for urine for the May 1 clash betgween 38-year-old WBA welterweight (147 pounds) titlist Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 knockouts) and 33-year-old challenger Floyd Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) that is slated for the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. "If either one of these fighters tests positive in our tests prior to the fight, the fight will be off," said Tygart, "and that will be announced, and everybody will know." Mayweather has reportedly used Xylocaine in the past for brittle knuckles, "but apparently has not used it for years". That situation has been remedied by hand-wrapping guru, Rafael Garcia, who was known for his work with "The Hands Of Stone," Roberto Duran. Garcia joined Mayweather's camp not long after 2002, when the figher often complained of weak tendons. Also known as Lidocaine, Xylocaine is not listed as being illegal by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, but the NSAC ruled that it was not going to allow Mayweather to use it prior to his December, 2007, knockout of Ricky Hatton at the MGM. Tygart said that Mayweather and Mosley have been tested by officials assigned to administer the procedures. Last week, Mosley told FanHouse that he already had been tested twice. "Their reactions to the process has been outstanding, even though there are some mild inconviences to it," said Tygart. "But those mild inconveniences are well worth the upside of having confidence that you're going to go into a fight where it's going to be based on your athletic ability and nothing else and not what somebody is being able to do covertly from their chemist or their drug dealer."
