    The Benefits of Steroids May Never Go Away -- Even When Athletes Quit Taking Them

    So I ask, what is the point of Olympic Style Tests on Mosley? What does Floyd's team hope to achieve in this case? Shane has likely already benefited from steroids, per the article above, even if he's clean now.

    Why would Floyd fight someone who is proven to be enhanced? Isn't that why he wouldn't fight Pacquiao, because they suspect Pacquiao is enhanced and won't submit to Olympic Style Tests? Well, with Mosley, they don't have to suspect anything, it's already proven Mosley took steroids and enhanced his body.

    If Floyd wouldn't fight Pac because he thinks Pac is enhanced, and thus wanted the Olympic Style Tests, why would he fight Mosley who he already knows is enhanced, regardless if he's clean now (see article above)?

        The blood testing Saga that Pac dragged out. Mosley killed that in one day by accepting the testing that Pac refused.

        Hes taking the OST's the fight will be signed.

        Floyd is fighting the P4P Number 3 and the Number 1 ranked WW.

              Even if Shane is clean now, which I think he is, why would Floyd fight someone who is already proven to be enhanced?

              Help me out here.

                I applaud you for bringing an interesting point of view to an already tired subject.

                From the article:

                A scientific consensus on this issue may be a long way off. The Swedish study was too small to be definitive, and it's difficult (for obvious reasons) to do a large follow-up study on the effects of steroids on competitive athletes. Some studies done in the past decade have shown that while the muscles of mice grow when they are given steroids, they also shrink when the drugs are taken away. Gary Wadler, a New York University physician who consults with WADA on steroid issues, says he isn't convinced that the conclusions are accurate. "The effects of steroids are time-limited," he says.

                  No, he's not NOT fighting Pac because he thinks Pac is on PEDs, he's not fighting Pac because Pac never agreed to the testing.

                  Mosley did.

                  Think before you post.

                    Please follow your own advice. Let me explain. Why would he want Pac to undergo Olympic Style Testing? Answer: Because he thinks Pac is on PEDs. Why else?
