Olympic testing is a joke. Man up Mayweather management

[M.I Truth ?]

That's fine and dandy, no one is arguing that the style of testing isn't more effective. But the only one that has to happen according to the organization who is sanctioning the fight is the testing of the NSAC.


The need for USADA testing is UNPRECIDENTED in this case, which is why Team Pacquiao is standing their ground as they should.


And tell me IMDAZED, were you such a big advocate of USADA testing before all of this **** jumped off? Post proof if you were or shut the **** up.

U know he calls Mayweather out on his BS all the time too right?

Just like Manny bent over Cotto with the catch weight?
Only difference is that Cotto manned up and complied with no problems
Manny is being a little *****
but hey whats new

In my opinion I agree with the olympic testing for all fights. I believe each fight should be tested so skill and ability will determine the outcome not plaster or PED oranything else. Pacshould take the testing to erase all doubt. The real reason mayweather came back was to erase all doubt of who is p4p number 1. Only way to prove it is confront the situation.

True boxing fans should want the best tests available. The fighters health are at stake, meaning these tests should be precedented.

Just because the NSAC only choose to do limited testing doesn't mean they shouldn't do more.

That's cool. I'm just saying though, I can't remember one single post about anyone on this board wanting to implement USADA style testing for boxers...and now all of a sudden everyone comes out of the woodworks saying that it should be standard?


Not directed at anyone personally, but c'mon now. This was a genius move on the part of Team Mayweather though.


Let's just hope they can iron out the bull**** and make this fight happen. I already bought my plane ticket, and booked a room for the weekend.

I have seen it mostly in the Mosley and Roy bashing threads. I don't think its a bad thing at all though. It actually helps Manny silence all the talk as well.

Really? Why don't you argue with Margaret Goodman since she seems to disagree with you. Maybe you can tell her all about your boxing knowledge and how she doesn't know squat. Read EACH word carefully and let it soak in - I even bolded some for your dumb a**:

“Most states don’t test for steroids,” says Dr. Margaret Goodman, former Nevada Chief Ringside Physician and Chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission Medical Advisory Board. “In Nevada, we test fighters on championship cards. In New Jersey, they test every fighter for steroids. If we’d do what’s done in the Olympics or what the World Anti-Doping Agency recommends – sporadically test them during training – that would really be the best way. But if you check them right before or after a fight, they’ll test negative. Boxers are just as smart as anyone else and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to go online and look at how long a certain drug stays in your system.”

Geat info here. I am going to post it in another thread having a similar cova because I was not aware of this statement.

Post proof? Ask anyone on this board what my stance is. I've ALWAYS been an advocate of Olympic styled testing so take your bull**** elsewhere.

And finally, it's unprecedented...AND?? So it shouldn't happen? It should be the ****ing NORM! And what other fight for it to begin than the biggest one we have. Maybe instead of wondering who was saying what back when you should be asking yourself why the **** you have such an issue with testing that should be standard.

Its great that you are an advocate of Olympic Style testing, and if this is really what most people believed to be the proper norm, then let them forward this request to the NSAC, and let the commission make a ruling to make it standard for all fighters.

But 'till then forcing Pac to take a test that's unprecedented reeks of harassment and selective persecution to me. And over what??.. A rumor spread by a former crackhead who happens to be the father of the boxer that Pac is fighting next...

I agree... sometimes it is needed that someone kicks it off... it's the same now with concussions in the NFL... it's like the topic is new...

I thing it is the best for the sport... I'm not talking about the Pacquiao situation but they should def. look at it... urine simple doesn't proof **** anymore now a days... if you want to have a chance to get cheaters without taking their DNA or hair... you got to have urine and blood... every expert will tell you that... I know it from our situation here in Germany with cyclists... and you have to test randomly even though I agree there should be a deadline before a fight... probable not in fight week... but you gotta do it in training (this is where it's been used) and randomly because if you tell a drug dealer we will come searchin your house on this date you don't have to believe he will have anything there...

Boxing is a blood sport and dangerous enough even without cheaters... so I think it should be in the interest of everybody to get better tests or?

I can live with it if it ain't happens right now with Pac-May but it should get brought on the way... I mean sports like horse racing, swimming get better controlled then boxers... that's a joke... there has to be something more

For the record though, the NSAC implemented an out of competition program which randomly tests any fighter registered as a professional in the State of Nevada, whether they have fights scheduled or not for any type of performance enhancing drug.

This was put in place in January of 2008.


They've caught a few UFC fighters taking PED's this way as well. Haven't heard of any boxers getting mixed up in anything, to my knowledge.

And here lies the truth of the matter...good post.
