Besides the fact he WAS on the list i think the issues are what substances can an athlete use to gain an edge? when do these need to be taken to have an effect? how long does the substance stay in the body for detection? eg. Pacquiao wanted 24 day tests, is there something that he could take 23 days before the fight that will not only give him an unfair advantage but also cannot be picked up by urine testing 5 minutes after the fight?if mosely wasnt ever busted for using peds until they found his name on the balco list, which means the drug testing that is being used couldnt catch it, then why should we not want to get a blood testing system? you cant give fake blood or someone elses. i know people that use fake ****s that hold clean warm urine for them and they pass all the time. do the commissions actually look at them while they piss?
I dont know but something smells fishy.Comment

The real problem is that Shane's urine wasn't even tested for EPO....at all. If they tested his urine for more than just stock standard roids he may never have gotten away with it.
As for the other stuff....THG was not detecable in blood or urine at the time shane was taking it.
WADA standards are what boxing needs.Comment

I am unhappy with Floyd's methods and find them suspect BUT I agree that testing needs to tightened to the full extent of science. We are not dealing with a race or a game but a sport where dominance can cause lifelong injury or even death in an opponant.
All commissions need to ensure that ALL fighters fight on a clean, level playing field.
I don't understand why samples are not kept secure for a longer period and tested with superior technology 5 years hence. Anything that was hidden would now be common knowledge and this would act as a deterrent. Would you cheat now if you were 99% certain you'd be exposed and prosecuted as a cheat a few years down the line?Comment
