US Anti-Doping Agency: "A positive test for Shane or Floyd means a 2 year BAN!"

[-MAKAVELLI-]

So was Pac-Clottey a joke for there testing procedures?

stop trying to pursue a tangent Burner...just wait til Dazed talks and practice your cheers

[IMDAZED]

the premise of the testing is to have a bout that's on an 'even playing field'...to continue when that playing field has been altered makes it a joke IMO

the fight would have to be scrapped IMO and the PR nightmare begins

Well good. That's how it should be.

Answer the question. You are very critical of Mosley-Floyds testing. So can I get your views on Pac-Cloteys testing.

I think the Mak said is the way it should be too. But, how many pissed off people will there be knowing that everybody involved will lose millions of money...

And, that is why with all this money involved makes me think that is not how is going to be. But, I hope it and I hope the trend continues.

If they decided to go against letting the fight go on this way almost ensures neither will cheat because no one gets paid.

There is money involved (and the potential to lose it) in everything; in every sport. So that is not a reason. I think people are just being skeptical for the sake of being skeptical. The two fighters have agreed to be suspended for two years if they test positive. There's no getting around that. Too bad for the pissed off people but these same people have to put themselves in the shoes of fighters who risk their lives and health when they step into the ring. Unfortunately, these are the same fans who have never boxed at a high level yet call a fighter a "*****" for (gasp!) demanding a serious drug test.

True, but a fighter in January got busted in OST when he was going to fight Sylvester I think that is who it was. I am pretty sure he was getting paid solid money and that didn't stop him. And, they replaced him granted that fight was no where close to that event that this is.

And, some poeple try to be slick they might think they can beat the test. I don'tt hink neither one is doping and is actually great for the sport. But, it is interesting to see what happens if one guy does get pop befoe the fight take place. But, I think more details would come in the future. So is going to get more clear on how all this is going to work

Totally agree, IMDAZED. Brain damage or Parkinson are no jokes, only idiots would like to get their heads **** up.

i think a lot of you misunderstand the purpose of drug testing. the purpose in not really to catch someone cheating as much is it is to deter people from cheating. chances are that most sane ppl who know they are gonna be stringently tested for peds are not gonna turn around and go and take these peds, especially if they kno they can be tested for. the wada has caught someone using hgh, this put the whole world on alert that you can be caught if u use hgh. that means that most athletes that are going to be tested by the wada(and it's subsidiaries like the usada) will most likely not use peds to cheat.

so the penalties are of primary importance as a deterrence. u guys should really stop worrying about what happens if a person ghets caught. any sane person wouldnt even risk it for the irreperable damage it will do to their career. that's how the playing field will be evened.
