Gary Shaw: "Michigan does not test for steroids"

[#1Assassin]

So Andre Dirrell, who pretended to have a back injury to move the fight from Palm Springs to Detroit, was tested for several drugs such as ******* with his urine sample at the hospital after the fight, but was not tested for steroids.

This seems rather shady to me...

your right, obviously dirrell is on steroids just like he obviously faked the KO. but i dont think it stops there. they probably bribed one of abrahams cornermen to spill water in the corner, and then used jedi mind tricks on abraham to make him punch dirrell when he was down.

or maybe it wasnt the real abraham who fought dirrell, think about it. abraham always wheres white trunks and white shoes, why stop now? coincidence that he happened to switch and take his very first loss in the exact same fight? seems shady.

only logical explanation is that wasnt the real abraham, the real abraham is probably at the bottom of lake michigan. dirrell fought an imposter! it was all a set up. they used an actor who has been trained to fight like abraham and will take over his life from now on, living with his family etc not to raise su****ion. it might seem a bit strange that they managed to make him look exactly like abraham then got the trunks and shoes wrong, but it makes more sense than a negro beating a white man fair and square.

When speaking about the shortcomings of Detroit, Michigan the athletics commission is pretty much the last thing on anyone's list.

I dont like to throw accusations around but it wouldn't be surprised if dirrell is on something. Not by his physical performance i would say that is completely in the norm. But as a young fighter coming into this tournament with a high calibre of fights, added with the availability of roids in the US. he just might have been tempted.

Same with Andre "victor Conte" Ward I guess.

I wouldnt normally think this, they don't look like roiders, but so many people were saying yesterday how athleticism is winning the Americans their fights. Though i'm not sure on that.

If Dirrell was clean, why wouldn't he let his urine be tested for steroids? It was tested for ******* and a few other drugs.

the fight was moved to sell more tickets, the california arena only holds 1000 people....

tell me how someone as weak as dirrelll uses steroids....

either way all fighters should be tested....but how come you were against the mayweather-pac blood tests? urine tests can easily be gotten around....quit having double standards...

[postmortem]

steroids?????????????????wtf are you talking about tunney??

I think he means no black fighter can beat a white fighter without cheating.

[ИATAS]

you may have some legs to stand on if it wasnt for the fact that it was Dirrell's hometown. Dont act like they moved there because of the non steroid testing. They moved there because every single other fighter was fighting in there hometown except for Dirrell and he wanted that hometown advantage like everyone else. It had nothing to do with testing. Also, Dirrell looked like the same ole Dirrell to me. He wouldnt have any reason to roid when most thought he won the Froch fight and even if you didnt, he wasnt a guy that you would say needed roids because he already had the speed & power

This.

I can't believe how freakin ******ed people are on this site at times.

Exactly, they already have his urine, why not let them just do an additional test for steroids ?

if u weren't such a bigot, ppl would actually take what you say seriously. Now this is the part where I tell you to have a tall glass of STFU-Aid! I'll even do you a favor and put it in this .

P.S. what is being suggesting is plausible in this sport. But the messenger is a well documented bigot so take it with a grain of salt.

Yes, and anyone who refuses to have his urine tested for steroids AFTER a fight, even though it's being tested for other drugs, is probably on steroids.

I may be wrong, but I think you said something to the effect of "I dislike Malignaggi even more now because he is saying that Pacquiao is on steroids without any proof."

Do you have any proof that Dirrell is on steroids?

There's a major difference:

Manny Pacquiao took the urine steroid test after his fights and no problem with allowing it. HE TESTED NEGATIVE EVERY TIME.

Andre Dirrell refused the same urine test as Pacquiao had after his fights with DLH, Cotto, etc., even though Andre allowed his urine to be tested for ******* and other things.

Does that seem su****ious?

Especially since the Super Six contract requires a routine steroid test after each fight (although the Michigan Commission does not).
