How come the show hasn't touched on the subject of testing for this fight? We haven't seen one visit from the ost people. Seems like it should at least be acknowledged.
Probably because they aren't using OSDT. Can anyone provide some sort of proof that they are using that for this fight? And I mean the same style for the Mosley where they draw blood, not just urine testing.

Is this accurate? If so, the 14 day cutoff is actually a USADA requirement.
USADA and Floyd can say random all they want but USADA won't and can't test Floyd or any boxer within 2 weeks prior to the fight. NSAC brought some doctors in and they said it could infect a boxer arm if they are drawing blood that close to the fight so no injection of any kind to the arm. Urine can be any time but just no blood test until after the fight.
It's to late for OSDT right now. USADA will and can not test them due to arm infection that could scrap the fight. Even if Floyd ask for USADA to test him they will tell him hell no. Urine test can be done but no injection of any kind. They will not be the cause if the fight get scrap.
I can imagine these guys stopping their training sessions after a tube of blood has been drawn from them. Has anybody asked these guys about this? Do they wait a couple of days before resuming their training?

floyd should have demanded showing the ost procedures, it would help to promote his objective of cleaning the sport..or perhaps, he's not really that serious about it after all..

I could be wrong, but I thought 24/7 showed in depth drug testing procedures during Mayweather vs Marquez & Mayweather vs Mosley?
Mosley yes, JMM didn't have it.

I'm all for testing, EVERY MAJOR BOUT FOR STARTS then hopefully expanding to every fighter.
Even though we've seen the testing done on Floyd's past 24/7s I think they should at least show the testing once or twice, mainly for the casual fans to see that Floyd is really serious and for people to see that changes need to be made across the board.
We're tired of hearing about testing, the people who don't want it and the people who do...but with the 24/7 platform they should've shown it again!!!
Mosley was a former PED user and it made more sense. Or maybe since HBO is airing Pac fights again they don't want to continue Floyd stance that is indirectly aimed at Pac.
The topic of OSDT leads to discussion of Mayweather/Pacquiao, and they've decided to scrub the entire thing of any mention of Pacquiao - even if it is more interesting than a lot of what they are showing.
They spent last series going on about it and showing how its done, they probably aren't interested in showing it a second time, its extra testing thats it.
Because he is never going to fight the Pacman, so there is no longer any need to waste money on a phony ost.
It was formally announced that there would be OST for this fight from the day it was signed.
