cant have it both ways: Floyd needs to quit training with xylocaine to clean sport

[bongwater]

If Floyd really wants to clean up the sport, he should quit training with xylocaine, a known performance enhancing drug outlawed in all states except the one he resides in. He should no longer train with it, and his camp should petition the Nevada boxing commission to prohibit its use entirely. Moreover, Floyd Mayweather Jr should agree to accept ANY RANDOM drug testing for xylocaine to make sure traces arent found in his body.

Floyd wants to clean up the sport of boxing, right? He should lead by example

People say its outlawed in all states, yet never post any factual evidence.

On the other hand we already have evidence from the Examiner(And we all know how much they dislike Floyd), that it isn't banned in any state. They all have the same rule, that its legal to use except within a week of the fight.

Also Xylocaine been tested for, for a long time in Boxing. The piss test they do after the fight tests for that.

Thanks for playing buddy

US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Lenny Brown Sacramento, CA “Is Xylocaine approved by the FDA?”

I spoke today with a representative from the FDA via their Drug Information line. I asked them if Xylocaine was illegal or banned in this country. The representative said there are no bans on this drug. The representative also said that there would be no reason for individual states to make this drug illegal especially if its FDA approved. However, if this drug is administered by an I.V. or through injections then it must be done under the direct supervision of a licensed medical professional.

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)

One of the world’s leading authorities on anti-doping, WADA is the primary source for which drugs are banned in sports or athletic competitions worldwide. According to WADA, via GlobalDRO.com, “None of the ingredients in this brand (Xylocaine) are currently included on the WADA Prohibited List”. This means that Xylocaine is not banned by WADA.

US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA)

Mandy Craig Sacramento, CA “Does the USADA ban Xylocaine?”

The USADA has a Drug Reference line where you can contact them via telephone and specifically ask them about any drug. When I called them yesterday, I spoke directly with their telephone doctor of the day. First, I must say that it was very informative being able to talk to a USADA doctor about this drug and the potential side effects. Anyhow, the doctor said that Xylocaine is legal for boxers to take via injection into the hands. He also said that individual state athletic commissions might have additional stipulations.

Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC)

In a conversation that I had with Keith Kizer, about the use of Xylocaine in the state of Nevada, Keith said that because “It is not a prohibited substance under WADA or USADA”; it’s not banned by the State Athletic Commission. However, Keith Kizer noted that the commission has added some stipulations to the use of Xylocaine.

“We don’t want fighters to use it on fight day. We make sure they have full physicals to check for this. They will be told to stop doing this from the weigh-in through the fight. Fighters must only take Tylenol or ice for any pain.”

NSAC


Conclusion

As of February 17th 2010, Xylocaine is not banned according to the FDA, USADA, WADA, and the NSAC. In fact, I can’t find any other State Athletic Commission that bans it either. So, Floyd Mayweather’s use of this drug for his hands is not illegal. And, as long as he doesn’t use it from the weigh-in through fight day, then he won’t get into any trouble

from what i have read, xylocaine is nearly undetectable through urine or blood tests. So, someone with a prevalence to using it, can probably get away using it on fight night... which would be clearly illegal.

For a boxer who dreams of cleaning up boxing of drug use, it would be admirable if they would just condone it all together.

Its tested for in Boxing. People have failed tests for it in the past. This is not super hard to detect like HGH is.

Whether or not you think he uses it fight night is your opinion.
