At the bout organisational meeting run by NSAC on Wednesday morning, Gareth Williams, Hatton’s lawyer, asked Keith Kizer, the NSAC executive director, if lidocaine would be tested for.
“We’d all seen the stories about Mayweather’s hands and we had heard rumours that he uses lidocaine,” Williams said. “So we just wanted to make sure that they complied with the rules and that it would be tested for.”
The request did not go down well with John Hornewer, Mayweather’s attorney. Williams said: “He responded by saying: ‘Well, what about grappling?’ I quite facetiously responded: ‘I didn’t think you could test for that.’” Kizer confirmed yesterday that lidocaine is banned for use by boxers within a week of a bout. “If lidocaine is injected,” he said, “the pain receptors in the boxer may not work and he may not know if he is hurt.”

Pacquiao is willing to be tested, but not on the actual day before the fight.

Anyway, Floyd and GBP have to come clean on their documented use of an illegal painkiller.

Mayweather can't fight in most states, with Nevada among the few exceptions, because he is using illegal painkillers.
Xylocaine (generic name Lidocaine) is also often added to ******* as a diluent. ******* numbs the gums when applied, and since lidocaine causes stronger numbness, users get the impression of high-quality ******* when in actuality, the user is receiving a diluted product.
Point of clarity. I am not saying that Mayweather is abusing illegal and highly regulated drugs. However, it is public knowledge that he is using hand-injected painkillers that are illegal in most U.S. states. He should be required to explain if indeed they are used to treat hand injuries or if they are being used before fights to numb his hands.
Update: Upon more in-depth research, I found out that Nevada also bans lidocaine use by boxers.
"There would’ve actually been precedence for making such a request. It was revealed prior to his failed middleweight title bid against Bernard Hopkins in 2004 that de la Hoya took Lidocaine, a pain killer deemed illegal by Nevada State Athletic Commission standards, to speed up the healing process for a cut suffered on his hand. Hopkins appeared visibly upset when informed of the news prior to their fight, but didn’t seem too bothered by it after stopping him in the ninth round, or joining up with Golden Boy Promotions a few weeks later."

What does that mean? Both Floyd and DLH using a substance banned also in Nevada?

"Such painkillers could be more dangerous in the long term, since fighters with numbed hands hit harder since they cannot feel their hands at a time when they could be unknowingly damaging them"
Cool! Floyd cannot feel his own hands! He will probably have a shot if he needs to jerkk off and Ellerbe's not available!
Damn! I want one!
