Shouldn’t Mayweather be applauded for wanting testing for PEDs?

[FLY TY]

You guys are confusing the USADA and the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Its the Nevada Athletic Commission who decides on how testing is to be done on boxers and they require only urine tests and annual blood tests to ensure the fighters are clean.

what is NSAC's stance on fighters coming into a fight overweight?

are they usually fined 10 mil/ pound?

[AFighter4U]

I don't know if they would have. But it goes to show who was willing to to go to great lengths to try to make the fight happen. From cutting down the # of tests, to extending the dates. Wow.

That is the USADA's testing standards. What is being applied is the Nevada Athletic Commissions standards which only use urine tests and annual blood tests.

Nope. Floyd never had a problem with that actually.

Curious thing though. He would nonchalantly agree to that seemingly ridiculous demand, yet reject outright a reasonable request for a random blood test up to 24 days before the fight, random urine tests up to the fight and then ANOTHER blood test IMMEDIATELY after the fight.

Is that request so unreasonable that you'd throw away $40 million?

okay. just want to make sure we're on the same page on this one.

it's fine for top rank to change commission rules when its to their own benefit, but when the opposing fighter does it against manny, there's a huge outcry, and arum would rather the same "commissions" be the ones to implement the rules.

completely understandable.

If floyd was truly willing to go your so-called "great lengths" to make this fight happen, then why didn't he budge on the 10 day difference?

What is 10 days? What he thinks manny will cheat if he has a window of 24 days, but WON'T if he has a window of ONLY 14 DAYS?

Where is the logic there?

Floyd jr. somehow thinks that manny CAN cheat in 24 days but for some miracle CANNOT CHEAT in 14 days?

That Manny's conscience would somehow NOT work if given 24 days to cheat but he will be conscience-stricken if given only 14 days?

This logic could easily be flipped around. Why would Manny want an extra 10 day window?

Secondly, yes there is a possibility that he could cheat within that span, as mentioned by experts and doctors. Why do you think they test all the way up until an event, for fun? No. There is a reason behind that.

they didn't change the commission's rules. The commission they are following by the way is that of the Nevada Athletic Commission which uses urine tests and annual blood tests to screen fighters.

You are confusing them to the USADA.

For the last time, the NSAC does not blood test for PEDs.

USADA announced last year that they were funding a company that has developed a test to detect HGH in urine.
