We’ve heard numerous times how Mayweather Jr is “saving” the sport of boxing with his “drug crusade”. But if he’s truly “saving” the sport then why haven’t we heard any tangible details about his drug tests? If he’s truly on a “drug crusade”, then why haven’t we heard how many times he’s been tested before the fight with Mosely?
As of today, I have been unable to find any credible sources that tell how many times Floyd Mayweather Jr has been ‘randomly’ tested. In fact, Floyd’s own adviser Leonard Ellerbe doesn’t even know:
“A number of times. A number of times. I have no idea how many times.” Ellerbe, Fanhouse
“Floyd has been tested several times for both urine and blood and it hasn’t impeded with his training whatsoever.” Ellerbe, Fighthype.com
Are you kidding me? The man who’s like a second mouth for Lil’ Floyd doesn’t even know? This is a slap in the face. These two guys have blasted Pacquiao in the media during their “drug crusade” and they can’t eve provide details of how many times Mayweather has been tested.
This drug testing information should be provided to the media in press releases after the public hype that the drug testing procedures initially received. In fact, Golden Boy Promotions held a press conference touting the drug testing. Yet, we can’t even find out how many times the “face of Boxing” (sarcasm) has been drug tested. I might start screaming conspiracy.
Ellerbe shared a few more details about Floyd’s testing in his interview with Fighthype.com. Unfortunately, these details don’t really give us any in-depth insight:
“It is the equivalent to a tablespoon of blood”
“Up until this point, it has been very random, but at reasonable times.”
Thanks Leonard, for the breath of wisdom you just imparted on us.
Kendall Bailey Sacramento, Ca “What details do you think Floyd and Golden Boy Promotions should provide about the USADA drug testing?”
Excellent question. Here’s a list of details that I think Floyd and his camp should provide especially since Floyd is supposedly “saving” the sport of Boxing and making it a clean environment for all of us fans.
* Dates and times of drug tests
* Results of drug tests
* Type of drug tests
* Location of drug tests
* Witnesses of drug tests
Are there any other details you readers think Floyd and his camp should provide about the drug testing procedures?
