Should Xylocaine be banned in Nevada? Poll

[Xyei]

Yes, it should be banned for boxing. It's very dangerous to numb your hands before a fight. You could end up doing more damage in the long run. Bad ****.

[DE100]

From what I read it cant be used within one week of the fight, in Nevada.

Also

De La Hoya was given a shot of Lidocaine the day of the injury to numb the cut area so the stitches could be taken. Lidocaine is a substance banned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. But Marc Ratner, CEO of the commission, said there is no violation as long as De La Hoya informed the commission when he took it and why.

Fighters have been using this kind of stuff for years. If you ban it you might see some excellent fighters have shorter careers. Ali and Leonard depended on these type of injections to get through their fights.

Good point. I didn't know that. I still think it should be banned. If you can't fight without numbing your hands then that's not good.

all mayweathers fights should be a NC. we can never be sure what fights he used it in. who knows how much damage he did to his opponents with this unfair advantage. another margarito.

This is ****** logic. He's never used it illegally.

yea he found a loophole now it's ok? if barry bonds is allowed to use steroids in california then its ok cause he plays there all the time.

What loophole? its not allowed to be used a week within the fight or fight night... Do you people think he uses this during the fight?

Yeah because a) all Mayweather fights are in Vegas *lol* and b) it is already illegal in Nevada... so if he used it he should have a positive test... isn't this also a reasoning why Pacquiao don't have to take the test... because he always tested negative??? I think the rules of the NSAC should get a renowal... but nobody agreed... probably now... and this **** can get a renowal as well...

Compared to what NFL players have to do to compete, it seems really minor.

Mayweather throws about 30+ punches per round and still hurts his hands.
