    The biggest question is why would USADA change their rules for one person

    It compromises the quality of their tests. If they allow one person to do 14 days, then all athletes will want that same luxury. During stages at the Tour de France and during Olympic swim meets, they are testing the athletes. It would be irresponsible to basically regress and make a mockery of their own standards. WADA is pushing for even tougher standards. Yet and still we have people here thinking 3 piss tests are good enough when some people. There is no one on this forum that can explain to me why ice curlers at the winter Olympics have better testing standards than boxers. Taking on a drug test should have been the least of our worries as anybody clean should want to prove themselves at the highest level.

        They also test you randomly during the off-season, year-round.

          That means Floyd and Shane are still being tested. I consider that to be excellent.

            Exactly!! Why would they adhere to Floyd's new demand of OST? It's expensive and unnecessary!

                the biggest question is why would boxing and the boxing commission change their rules for one person?

                    For starters, new rules being proposed are better than the ones in placn. Even bigger is if amateur boxers can do it, why can't professionals?
