Mayweather wants olympic style drug testing

[cherokee]

Why are people questioning Pacquiao's abilities if everything he's done was "tailor-made for him"?

Admit it. Only reason *****s say Pac is on Roids or any kind of substance is because Crackhead Sr. brought it up.

that's why i'm scratching my head with these floydettes sometimes

one minute pac is on roid for what he has achieved!

and then they go saying well his wins weren't a big deal, all tailor made for him!!

They want an excuse to fall back on in case Pac isn't taking any illegal substances.

That way they won't have to admit to Pac's greatness.

It's really fking pathetic.

Did you actually read the article? It said that they must still go through lengthy scientific validation studies before anybody adopts it.

okay i must admit, i didn't. but this was more than a year ago! this is an honest question, no progress since then?

if there is none, then all athletes could potentially be using them. why are we picking on one person here basing on what mayweather sr is saying. he seems to know about this ****. so thinkers are doers id say

article published 2008. so burner is talking out of his ass again!

The previous article was from last year. Here is an updated article from this year.

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2009-02-26-usada-hgh_N.htm

Ceres Nanosciences, which licensed the screening process developed by two George Mason University professors, will receive $65,000 to conduct a six-month study of whether the test can be reliably repeated on dozens of samples. The George Mason researchers, Emanuel "Chip" Petricoin and Lance Liotta, will oversee the study, which is a crucial step because of the large scale on which the test would be used with athletes.

"We are cautiously optimistic," said Travis Tygart, CEO of USADA, the independent organization responsible for testing Olympic-bound American athletes. "They have developed an outstanding technology. And we're looking forward to helping them develop it further so it can have a practical use in anti-doping efforts."

i think it is sad! sad for the sport! sad for athletes that work their ass out to achieve their dreams only for some crackhead to ruin what they have worked hard for all their lives!

i just don't think it's fair. if you can't prove it then just shut up!

i may not like floyd but if someone comes up with something preposterous against him that cannot be proven, i wouldn't subscribe to it as well

i have seen pics of floyd and at times his face 'jaw area' has shown signs of elevated testosteron or maybe hgh plus i think we all know that alot of athletes take performance drugs and yes im sure even mayweather takes something and im not taking anything away from him he is a great champion and so is many pacieou he is the more exciting fighter rite now,i mean manny could also play tag in the ring but then that fight would suck!!!

Besides that test.

Regarding HGH and other hormones from WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency):

"Unless the Athlete can demonstrate that the concentration was due to a physiological or pathological condition, a Sample will be deemed to contain a Prohibited Substance (as listed above) where the concentration of the Prohibited Substance or its metabolites and/or relevant ratios or markers in the Athlete’s Sample satisfies positivity criteria established by WADA or otherwise so exceeds the range of values normally found in humans that it is unlikely to be consistent with normal endogenous production.
If a laboratory reports, using a reliable analytical method, that the Prohibited Substance is of exogenous origin, the Sample will be deemed to contain a Prohibited Substance and shall be reported as an Adverse Analytical Finding."

A counter article in which a Stanford study reports no athletic boost from taking HGH.

http://grg51.typepad.com/steroid_nat...-from-sta.html

In a comprehensive review of HGH used as a PED (performance enhancing drug) a team at Stanford says that current evidence suggests no anabolic effect for the hormone. (although this paper is called a study, it isn't; it is a review or meta-analysis of past papers)

Athletes who take human growth hormone may not be getting the boost they expected. While growth hormone adds some muscle, it doesn't appear to improve strength or exercise capacity, according to a review of studies that tested the hormone in mostly athletic young men.

"It doesn't look like it helps and there's a hint of evidence it may worsen athletic performance," said Dr. Hau Liu, of Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, Calif., who was lead author of the review.

Growth hormone, or HGH, is among the performance enhancers baseball stars Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte were accused of taking in the blockbuster Mitchell Report. Clemens denies using the hormone, while Pettitte admits using it.



There goes the HGH theory *****s.
