Comments Thread For: Goodman Questions Mayweather-Mosley Drug Testing Gap

[shogunn]

I think goodman is dumbfounded as to why USADA didnt test for blood in the span of 18 days and after.

USADA is basically saying, that its more important to use the "random" moniker as a detterent to stop an athlete from cheating, than it is actually is to test for the blood itself. kinda childish really

he does raise a good question.. sounds fishy. he said it was up until the fight.. but it wasnt. Mayweather has the USADA in his pocket. for all we know he did use xyclocaine and steroids. if he don't take this 14 day **** with pacquiao, he's a coward. i mean for all we know he already juiced for mosley.. what's 14 days to him with pacquiao?

[pasawayako]

all roads lead to floyd mayweather. 41 have tried and 41 have failed.there is no blue print to defeat floyd the real p4p king and fighter of the decade money mayweather. (HATERS)

LOL. Keep dreaming.

Exactly!!! Finally someone gets it, The problem is they might not even test 30days before the fight but they (USADA) have the power of showing up and requiring a sample at anytime... The whole point is to put a doubt in the athletes mind.

Having a cut-off date defeats that process, You cannot allow or let an athlete know when he isnt going to get tested.

Random!!! the word is random!!

That's exactly what I was thinking. How can't she understand that it doesn't matter that USADA didn't test them after 18 days before the fight? It's not like they said "Ok, this is the last time we're taking blood from you guys". It's crazy how people with PhD's can't understand something as simple as how RANDOM TESTING is a deterent.

This right here is baffling!!! Random testing is random testing and it seem alot of people are really uneducated in the way they perceive it to be. Random is a deterrent in point a doubt in the mind of an athlete.

Yes RANDOM ,,, the Pacfarts need to understand what this means , and the power off it when a fighter doesnt know when it will be done , the Pacfarts are hanging all over a date and that shows me they have no ***en idea about the deterring power behind USADA random testing , Manny and Floyd will not have PEDS in their system nor will be ****** enough to use PEDS from the minute the fight is signed ,,,,, and thats all that needs to be done .

i always wondering why mayweather has a nickname of Pretty Boy? in fact hes face looks like a monkey who has scape from the jungle.. Now we know who is the True champion and the true coward!

Is there any actual evidence that this was indeed the case?

My understanding is that the report was anecdotal and speculative, based on the information which was submitted to the commission. How are we to know about the nuts and bolts of the process, including whether there was a cutoff deal in place? All we have is dates on which the tests did occur. We don't have anything with which to analyze the system or methodologies employed, just the raw data of when tests did occur. Hence, the conclusion that things are "fishy." Not fraudulent, not indicative of foul play, but "fishy."

Now, here are the numbers, again.

Mayweather: Urine only on:
April 3, April 6, April 21, April 24.
(note: no record of Mayweather blood testing).

Mosely blood and urine on:
March 23, March 31, April 12
(note: three tests in 20 day span, the last coming 18 days before the fight).

Mosely urine only on:
April 3, April 6, April 21 and April 24.
(note: Mosely and Mayweather tested on precisely the same schedule)

Based on this data, Goodman concluded the procedure seemed "fishy."


Honestly, you guys should at least figure out what the hell it is you're trying to criticize before going off on your tirades.


And for the record, it's MD, not PhD. PhD is a Doctorate of Philosophy, MD of Medicine.

Goodman is a name a trust. But quite frankly, all this is going to do is force the USADA to make the testing for Mayweather-Pacquiao that much more stringent.
