Yes they already started testing last week

did it happen last monday? any links? any news?

That's true. In fact, some would say that's what Pacquiao did (although only in words, certainly not with a signature). But it seems as if these two fighters care to honor their legal agreement and don't wish to be a victim of the harsh consequences they signed on for.

I really hope they would honor everything what they signed but i object on the word you used "victim". You can't be considered a victim for breaching a contract.

If you get ostracised for breaking a law or a contract, then you deserve it.

You can only be considered a victim if you get maligned by some people with malicious rumors.

Nevada state athletic commish already said they want to know the results and they are fine with the additional testing. By taking that stance its clear they will enforce any ban that a fighter receives for testing positive. The other state athletic commissions won't have a problem backing up Nevada. (Like Margarito being banned in CA and all other states enforcing the ban even though it wasn't issued there.)

That's good enough for me, i hope other states would follow suit too and maybe later on, hope against hope, all other world boxing organization might adopt it too.

Maybe they are holding the results for the 24/7 pre-fight shows. That makes sense to me since the testing and results will be a hot topic and get people to watch the show.

They have the power to do what was agreed upon and that is all the power they need. Nobody anywhere has any power to enforce upon someone something that a person did not agree to.
I am pretty sure if 2 fighters wanted this type of testing it can be put into the contract that even if the fight was held outside of the USA or against a non-U.S. citizen whatever they agree upon those rules still apply.

That's why they should at least publish what are the contents of that contract, the stipulations or whatever penalties that they can enforce and its scope. Will it be for one State only, the whole country or anywhere.

This way, all doubts can be shut.

Maybe you should try a FOIA request for the contract or just that part of the contract without the fighters personal information and monetary information. I would think the ban would be at least nationwide based on the test being done by a national testing agency.

Totally agree. They certainly wouldn't be a victim if either tested positive.

Yeah, that sucks as well but even worse is when you try to play the victim with lies, contradictions and excuses.

Cheers.

Good advice but i don't think i have the capacity of doing that so i or we may just have to rely on the goodhearted people here who can or those who are privy of it to at least divulge only those parts, i'm sure there are some poster/s here who does or have knowledge of it. It could be a pretty standard stipulation.

We are digressing now with the issue here we might as well go back on track.

Anyway, does anybody of you here have read the list of prohibited drugs as per WADA?

That's quite an extensive list and although most of it is pretty alien to me, i read lots which i thought were pretty harmless like some of those pain relievers.

Now since boxing is a physical sports, it's only natural that you will experience pain before, during and after the actual fight. Just imagine those sparring sessions done, each one will surely inflict some pain during the rounds.

Now since those nerve pain blockers are prohibited, does that mean Floyd cannot take his usual pain reliever?

Since that is not illegal during the fight, is it covered as well with the USADA and if found positive does that mean the fight with Shane will not happen anymore?

[PAKYO]

Damn.

Until now there's still no news if ever there was a test and what the results are...
