Floyd should be commended for possibly making the sport cleaner!

flyboy ur arguments are are all myth's and slander.... my god let me ask u one question and one question only how will HGH benifit a boxer?urine tests are far more accurate at detecting ped's ask any doctor or if u were ever involved in professional sports u would know this....have u ever play any sport at a high level i doubt it with ur posts u seem to have a very limited knowledge....im a big fan of mayweather but have to be honest ive lost alot of respect for his camp this week they have crossed a line with these accusations...
aqnd for those of you's who said this is mayweather's way out dont be ridiculas floyd wants this fight i think both camps are doing a great job of ruining this fight....its beyond a joke at this stage

Yup. The problems in the other pro-sports don't nearly reach the issues in boxing.

I guess you have never heard of this sport called basbeball.

His request of random blood and urine testing can possibly be introduced for good and as a must for every fighter, and it will help clean up the sport, NO DOUBT.
This is a sport where humans hit each other and "EXTRA HELP" can become very devastating... plaster of paris, mixed up drinks and PED's must get the hell out of Boxing!

WTF! Floyd do it for himself to gain mental and physical advantages over Pac. Watch for his next fight if dare to ask this Olympic style testing on his next opponent. If he wants to clean the sport he should start it first from him up to his family tree.

Which of those has Pacquiao done though? Does anyone have prior proof? Doctors? Physicians? Sparring partners?

Also, how much did steroids help Fernando Vargas?

Ironically the majority of the people on this site don't know exactly what, how, and why a PED would help in a Boxing ring, but people will rely on "Steroids or PED's make you stronger thus making you a harder puncher". But is that proven to be factual?

Blood testing has received a lot of attention because it is a new concept in the drug testing world. There is a blood test for EPO use, but it is only an indirect test that can be used as a screening measure to save money by determining whether the urine EPO test needs to be conducted. All the blood test does is tell the testers that the athlete has an unusual blood profile that warrants further investigation. The abnormal profile could be caused by the use of EPO, some other blood boosting drug, or just be explained by the athlete being a genetic freak or living at altitude. The testers then perform the urine EPO test to determine whether artificial EPO is the cause of the abnormality. The blood test does not have to be done in order for the athlete to test positive for EPO.

Former head of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory, one of the top drug labs in the world, and he headed the drug testing lab at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Dr. Caitlin is the same head of the UCLA lab that helped to expose the Balco doping scandal. Dr. Catlin, considered the most prominent anti-doping drug tester in the world.

" the case of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, it is asserted that urine based testing alone, as required by the Nevada Commission does not and can not detect all banned supplements. When asked his opinion, Victor Conte, former head of BALCO, and obvious expert on the subject has given his take on the blood test crisis, In my opinion, blood testing for the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is more important for detecting possible blood doping or use of EPO than it is for human growth hormone"Traditional testing in boxing, its basically worthless other than the detection of some types of stimulant, before and after a fight.To just say, Ill be tested on this date, theres all sorts of things you can do with announced testing, you cant do with unannounced testing." Though Conte is a convicted steroid distributor his opinion on this topic certainly carries weight. "

I got this from other posters, can't remember from whom but mad props to them:

If you read both articles, both experts are saying that abnormal level of EPO can be detected by blood test. The difference is, in Doc Catlin's article he explained that an ABNORMALY/ARTIFICIALLY INDUCED EPO can only be detected by URINE TEST. I'm sure if they asked that question to Conte they would get the proper answer.. And HGH as i gathered are mostly used by body builders, it helps in building mass muscles quicker than normal, BUT it doesn't help in any way in increasing an athletes speed and quickness, this drug even dampens it and makes the person slower..

Dr. Catlin holds more weight than Conte. Dr. Catlin is the godfather of anti doping testing. Conte is neither a chemist or scientist. Conte is Like a car salesman, he sell cars but he doesn't built them.

Floyd demand are unnecessary. Random urine testing detects steroid and EPO. Only HGH are left undetected. HGH does little benefit. You have combine it with anabolic steroids do build muscles and repair tissues. But then steroids are detected in urine.
