[DE100]

Its Tested For and its Banned in Nevada.

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.

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.” He also confirmed that lidocaine would be tested for after the bout, at the Quest Diagnostics laboratory in the city.

Nevada boxing officials said yesterday they would fine and probably suspend Lloyd Honeyghan. They said the British fighter tested positive for the painkilling drug lidocaine after losing his World Boxing Council welterweight title to Marlon Starling on Feb. 4.

It allows someone with a broken hand to keep throwing punches he would not otherwise be able to throw, for one. Goes throw the blood stream and allows them not to feel punches as much that are being thrown at them.

How can it not be a performance enhancer?

Might as well let them do ******* while you're at it.

Its a Local anesthetic for one. It effects the one part of the body that he decides to get the shot in. He's not going to take a shot in his hand, and suddenly be able to walk through everything like he's on Oxycotton or Heroin.

And just because he gets a shot, and may have a broken hand does not mean he won't feel anything at all from punching.

This is really grasping at straws

he has dominated his opponents, dont make him dominating the sport itself. he's big headed and got it way up his ass.

So it must not be that great since he hurt his hand in the Baldomir fight right? According to you he can break his hands and fight like nothin happened. Beyond reaching
