How can you call yourself a REAL boxing fan and support Mosley?

[Jiddu Dali]

Boxer "Sugar" Shane Mosley testified in 2003 that he injected himself with the notorious doping agent EPO as he prepared for his light-middleweight title fight against Oscar De La Hoya, according to grand jury transcripts and doping calendars reviewed by the Daily New

When asked if he had gotten EPO from Conte, Mosley replied: "Yes, the hematocrit."

"And that's something you actually inject into yourself?" he was asked by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeff Nedrow.

"I think it's right by your stomach, yes," Mosley said, indicating where the drug is often injected.

Conte has said he instructed Mosley on techniques for drawing EPO from a bottle with a syringe and injecting it in each side of the belly button in what is known as "double-saturation" injections.

At one point in the questioning, Nedrow produced a calendar seized from the BALCO lab showing Mosley used a potent cocktail of steroids and EPO right up until a few days before his victorious fight with De La Hoya on Sept. 13, 2003. The calendars denote which days Mosley was supposed to take which substances.

Mosley acknowledged that the calendar, marked "S.M.," contained instructions for him, and that the prices scribbled on the margins corresponded with the money he owed Conte for the treatments. (Conte, who estimates Mosley injected himself 20 times on each side of his belly button in the month before the fight, says he drew up the calendar while Mosley watched.)

Nedrow then pointed to the letter "E," which appears on the calendars at regular intervals in July and August.

"E, are those the injections of the EPO?," Nedrow asked Mosley.

"Yes, those would be the days," Mosley answered

Shane Mosley said last night that he inadvertently took two designer steroids — "the cream" and "the clear" — before his championship fight against Oscar De La Hoya in 2003 after he was misled by BALCO founder Victor Conte about what he was actually taking.

"We were misled (by Conte)," Mosley told the Daily News. "I guess I got the clear and the cream."

Conte disputed that in an e-mail response to The News. "I've never misled or deceived any athlete," Conte wrote in the e-mail. "I've always been a man of full disclosure."

According to a report on SI.com yesterday, Mosley used the two types of designer steroids and EPO two months before his junior middleweight championship fight against De La Hoya in 2003.

Mosley said that his strength and conditioning coach at the time, Darryl Hudson, took a list of the substances Mosley believed he was using to the Nevada State Athletic Commission before his fight with De La Hoya and was told none of them were on the banned list.

Mosley said he didn't want to take any kind of drug or workout aids.

"To be honest with you, I told them I was already in great shape," he said, adding that he met Conte one time and gave him a check for $1500. "I didn't want to take anything. I didn't need anything. He (Conte) assured me it should be on the up and up. He assured me I'd never have a dirty test."

The SI.com report cited several unidentified sources who attended an international anti-doping conference in Colorado Springs last November where the government investigator in the BALCO case, Jeff Novitzky, said that Mosley began using the substances.

Mosley said he became aware that he might have used steroids after Conte was indicted "and I saw this guy on television."

Mosley said Hudson tried to reach Conte but that he would not return calls. "I saw this guy one time," said Mosley.

Mosley was subpoenaed in the BALCO investigation and testified before a federal grand jury in 2003. He has always denied using steroids and has never tested positive.

Mosley won a 12-round unanimous decision against De La Hoya in Las Vegas on Sept. 13, 2003. Oddly, Mosley is now working as head of boxer development at Golden Boy Promotions, De La Hoya's company. Mosley said then that he contacted the Nevada Boxing Commission about what he had been taking and they told him that nothing he was using was on its list of banned substances.

Mosley, 35, is currently training in Big Bear, Calif., getting ready to fight Miguel Cotto for the WBA welterweight championship at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 10. Ron Scott Stevens, the chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission, could not be reached for comment on whether the allegation that Mosley used designer steroids and EPO — a substance that increases the volume of red blood cells and the oxygen carrying capacity in the blood — would have an impact on his being licensed in New York for the fight against Cotto.

According to the SI.com report, evidence seized during a raid of BALCO showed that Mosley had blood work done measuring his hematocrit levels — the volume of red blood cells. There was also a calendar in Mosley's file with July 26 circled accompanied by the word "start'' and the letter "e" by Aug. 8 and it noted that his levels had increased from 44 at the start to 52.2 (an abnormally high level) on Aug. 8, according to the report. In his statement Mosley does not address the issue of whether he took EPO.

Mosley said he recalled taking two blood tests "to see if I was low on iron or calcium."

"I know in my heart that I'm a clean guy and a good guy," he said, "and I think all the fighters, promoters and even the boxing writers know what type of person I am, what type of fighter I am, and I don't need that type of edge. My record speaks for itself in this matter, I've always been a clean fighter, and I have nothing to hide. That one little hiccup should never have happened, and it won't happen again."
