So much about that USADA is taking just teaspoon of blood.

[$partacus]

Well then here you go, some statements from an olympic athlete about how the volume blood testing affected him:

I naturally expect all the *****'s to disregard this post.

1000's of athletes get tested it's not surprising that one of them used the testing as an excuse for performing badly.

I wouldnt want to give that much blood nearly 4x a week leading up to a fight.

and you idiots are comparing a 40 yard dash, basketball, and tennis to a professional boxing fight. Comparing swimming in a pool vs Getting bashed in the head.

Boxers can go 12 rounds in a fight, sometimes near death. I dont remember any track stars dying from their sport, or have any lingering affects compared to ali, Frazier, etc.



But hey, kobe went through the same tests. He also needed to be hospitalized after his game, just as the same as dirrell did from his sport

Boxing = basketball. Both occur the same amount of punishment? no biggie. keep draining them

The "majority" of Pac fans on this board have been attacking this process continually from the outset.....some gems include:

- Floyd is paying (therefore controlling) USADA

- Floyd isn't getting tested at all.

- Testing after fights is sufficient (as is the current standard)

- It's been a few weeks we haven't heard a thing. We all know it's for show and they aren't getting tested at all.

And now this.....there are many many more threads just like this one that want to discredit USADA testing. It is the best testing protocol avaliable on planet earth......

Why do the "majority" of Pac fans feel the need to trash this process......most of the time with misinformation and lies???


This is a good thing full stop.

People aren't supporting this because Floyd mayweather proposed it. If it was almost anyone else the media and everyone on here would be all for it. There has been almost zero articles as to why boxing actually needs this.......and believe me it does.......this sport needs the gold standard.....and it's a real shame the other face of boxing would rather file a lawsuit than agree to something that is unquestionably good for the sport. Resistnace to change is normal. the boxing establishment and powerbrokers prefer the status quo.....no chance of losing $$$$$$.

3,667 to be exact. Not that is matters, as there was no way in hell Asafa was going to beat Usain anyhow. Usain being another athlete who was subject to OST's. He was so weakened he blew away records in both the 100m, and 200m dashes.

With that said. The amount of ******ation filling this thread is quite amusing.

continually questioning and trashing a process that is universally considered the gold astandard for detection of PED's in favour of one that does not protect fighters is not condoning???

Step up champ. Manny Pac should have agreed to this for the ood of boxing.....and so should every other fighter.

where r u gettin ur numbers from. where did u see either fighter getting their blood drawn 4x a week???ill wait for a source.

and everything u just said gives even more reason why they should be tested.
