VERY interesting boxing and Steroid article ESPN March 2007

I'm all for Olympic style testing to be implemented. I just want it done fairly (not singling out one guy) and to be implemented by the boxing commissions, not one fighter calling out another. Standards are in place for a reason, to prevent unfair play.

I agree with standards for all fighter and thats why I was such a stickler before the Pac vs Cotto fight on creating a 145 lb fight with a 147 pound belt on the line.

Great article Dondi. Thanks. pac should man-up and agree with the Olympic style testing.

If he is one of the top boxers like Floyd is, then they should be LEADERS and push together for this.
Floyd obviously feels he wont be affected by the testing, why not Pac?

well, to be fair, Manny's not getting singled out, Floyd will undergo the same testing.

I think TR played this one all wrong, and now they look like idiots. The media and the public are going to **** all over them for walking away from a standardized Olympic test. After Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, McGwire, Sosa, Clemens, Tim Montgomery, etc. etc. the public pretty much is preconditioned to absolutely hate on those suspected of doping.

Manny might have to just suck this one up and agree to the testing.

People equate this negotiating like a chess match. Pac and his team called check, with the 10million for every pound over. Floyd and team moved out of the check by agreeing. Then Floyd and team have seemed to check mate, with their Olympic testing request.

Not very interesting at all and technology is 2 years newer.

Way to black and white the situation.
You must not have read it if that is your opinion on the subject or your purposely being obtuse.
