"[HGH] is not detected by blood or urine.” - Roach [Yahoo] - Blood Does

[DE100]

“I really don’t care, because Manny doesn’t need Floyd Mayweather,” Roach said. “The tests he’s requesting are not commission tests, they’re not boxing tests and this is not an Olympic sport. A urine test is just as qualified as a blood test. [Human growth hormone] is not detected by blood or urine.”

The World Anti-Doping Agency successfully used blood testing at the 2004 Olympics in Athens to test for HGH.

Had to make separate thread on this, weird thing to say on Roach's part... who is right about this?

[-EX-]

Apparently those tests in 2004 were some of the first BLOOD tests to try and catch HGH...

"Traditional urine analysis could not detect doping with HGH, so the ban was unenforceable until the early 2000s, when blood tests that could distinguish between natural and artificial HGH were developed. Blood tests conducted by WADA at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece primarily targeted HGH."

Perhaps Roach is a little pissed with it but...

Urine Test

In 2008, USA Today reported that a collaboration between American and Italian scientists produced a test that detects HGH use via urine samples.

Effectiveness of Urine Test

According to USA Today, the urine test can detect HGH two weeks after use. This is because the test involves a particle that traps HGH molecules and amplifies their presence so the hormone can be identified.

Roach was right.

Getting blood drawn before the fight could affect Pacquiao. If the testing were 4 weeks before the fight and right after the fight, then it'd be su****ious if Pacquiao turned that down.

**** even looks su****ious now.

If it's not detected thru urine, or blood. How is HGH detected??

How is it weird to a guy who's not guilty?

Su****ious that he is refusing the tests in the first place I don't care what this fool says. Mayweather is agreeing to all these demands and Mayweather has one demand and Pac and his team can't man up and just go with it. Obvioulsy Pac does NOT want to fight Mayweather if he wants to pull this ****.
