Tygart basically sums up how i feel about this situation 100%.
*******s won't like this:
FH: How might the desired effects that a boxer may want to achieve manifest itself in a boxer during a fight?
Tygart: Take a real-life example. Look at Shane Mosley and his doping program that was reported by a number outlets when he was involved with BALCO. He used both a designer steroid as well as blood enhancing products like EPO. This is a good anecdote as to how these drugs translate very well for boxers.
What you want with that combination of steroids and blood enhancing product is that you want to be the best pound-for-pound, with that lean muscle mass, and to be the strongest competitor that you can be. Whether that means that you are at 180, 170, 210.
Various forms of steroids and human growth hormone are going to allow you to do that. If you want lean muscle mass and be light, you're going to want a lot of HGH. You're going to cut weight, but that weight is going to be lean muscle mass.
It's not going to be fat. It's going to be the strongest pound-for-pound that you can get inside of your frame at that weight.
So, while you might not think of EPO being all that appealing to boxers, that's what allegedly Mosely was doing out of BALCO. And that makes perfectly good sense to us, because that's going to give you the kind of endurance you need in a late round in a hotly-contested and fought boxing match.
It's also going to greatly improve your ability to train. So there is also this sort of recovery training issue and what's it going to do for you on fight night. And it's significant.Comment

I wouldnt put alot of stock in anything Roach says. He also said a few weeks ago that Manny had signed the Mayweather contract, so we all know how full of **** he is.....Comment

FH: Is it deserved that Floyd Mayweather has taken a lot of criticism for asking for this?
Tygart: Any time that a clean athlete steps up and reaches out to USADA, we're going to support them. And I think that means trying to convince all of those who have decision-making abilities to have the best policies in place to give that clean athlete the fairest opportunity to compete on a clean playing field.
So if the state of Nevada, the state of California, the organizations of boxing, and whoever else is truly interested and will listen to their athletes, then we're going to be standing by those clean atletes and pushing for the best policies.
So, regardless of what happens with this particular fight, hopefully that is the legacy that will come from this. Hopefully, these organizations will finally wake up and put in the kind of policies that they need to protect their clean athletes.
Real Talk!!!Comment
