        Just had to step in and say that the world standard still sucks.....Landis (Tour De World Cycler), Marion Jones (Olympic Track), Shane Mosley, 1/2 of MLB, countless boxers, countless other Olympians being stripped or DQ due to positive tests after the fact.....in both Olympics and Professional Sports.

        The WORLD STANDARD is very weak then if you ask me.....

          Yes, people still beat the system, but it's a world-wide initiative that improves yearly. Is there any other program that is even comparable?

          I'm not really sure what the point of all this talk is. If you're saying USADA isn't good enough, then what does that say about NSAC and Pac's demands, which are far worse? Are you saying it doesn't work, so they shouldn't test at all? Or are you saying it doesn't work, so they should make a test that's even more demanding than what the USADA does?

              Hard for them to beat a system that didn't exist when they competed.

              Also, Tim Montgomery tested dirty through the previous testing system.

                Well, I think amateur boxing follows the standard, at least for international events, but pro doesn't obviously. MLB has their own program, which is not the same.

                They do catch people out of competition and during training for international events. They do catch people after the fact and give the awards to clean participants. Sure, it's not perfect, but show me the alternative that is better? There is none. This is the best program in the world, and why shouldn't they use it? Do you think things wouldn't be worse if they didn't test at all, or went with an inferior program?

                  Landis tested dirty two years ago.

                  Marion Jones was never subjected to current WADA protocols.

                  Shane Mosely, beat NSAC policies, not WADA's.

                  The MLB has never employed random blood test, but wish to do so starting this season with their minor league system.

                  Boxers are subject to whichever commission rules their fight is located at. Not WADA policies.

                  Only 6 of 3,667 athletes tested positive for PED's during the Beijing Olympics.

                      Yeah definitely it is great for the sport.. Make it happen cause I doubt it will even be this much of a big deal once Floyd and Pac are out of the sport... Then will just go back to the same testing procedures...

                      TESTING EVERY FIGHTER 8x before their fights.. Like really, who is Floyd trying to fool..
