as for the floyd fanboys using the needles=tattoos argument.... use your brain.... they are COMPLETELY different. for people who have tattoos, we all know its just a slight scraping/shading of the outer layer of the skin... needles go through the subcutaneous layer to reach a blood vessel... i am 100% sure that if i were to come at anybody with a 3 inch needle, most people would turn ***** at the sight of it...
but shane made a VERY important point about the USADA testing, for someone to have to drop weight, testing would be a VERY hard/inconvenient obstacle... having to starve yourself & dehydrate yourself to make weight, while trying to hydrate enough to be able to give samples.... sounds like a nuisance to me. so i could DEFINITELY see how USADA testing could disturb training. IMO
but shane isnt pac... pac has to GAIN & MAINTAIN weight to stay at WW... so draining himself isnt even a problem. i still think 140 is pac's better division. i would love for him to test all these up & comers. but again, its good he is not in 140... it lets the boxers in that division shine.
