But you can't test for what you do not know exists, simple as that. WADA learned about the existance of THG from an anonymous tip and could after that start to test for it, YEARS after the athletes where using it and this was recent not back in the 80s or something like that. And that's just a simple derivate of a steroid. I gurantee you that there is stuff out there that WADA etc don't know about.Comment

Cycle the drugs out of his system immediately after the fight?
That would be an amazing feat, and an impossible one. The post fight test will tell all.
There would be no point in using PED's unless he was using them during the fight. There is no way possible to cycle out a drug in less than 36 minutes.
You sir, are an idiot.Comment

There has never been a fight that has involved this much money before, of course there has never been such a penalty before. I think they shouldn't fight if Floyd came in overweight but whatever.
And, please explain how "Olympic testing" should have shown that Shawn was on THG when the OLYMPIC TESTING failed to do so for Marion Jones etc. Since you seem the be so knowledgable about testing.Comment

1) Floyd fought at 146 last time and has fought above 147lbs 1 time in his career. How is 147 not is natural weight?
2) It's not a catchweight fight, if he comes in over the weightlimit the fight shouldn't happen imo. But if Mannys is still willing to fight he should get paid alot.Comment

I completely agree but we should make it harder for cheats and these tests also act as a deterrent to would be cheats. Samples are also kept so newly developed tests can be used on old samples. I believe that's what happened to Carl Lewis.But you can't test for what you do not know exists, simple as that.

No it wouldn't be in decline. It takes weeks to decline and the purpose of using it is for TRAINING.Comment

Yes, that's right. Funny how they kept Lewis' name a secret until years later BTW.Comment
