Mayweather's final blood test was 18 days before May 1st

[BattlingNelson]

How do you know what he was doing behind the scenes?

And anyways that's not the point if he knew or not. The point is the USDA knew and didn't need more than 18 days.

Ok then. Let me put it this way: Do you have any reason at all to assume that Floyd knew when his last test was going to be?

If not you are clutching at straws baby.

The purpose of the USDA isn't to deter you from taking PEDS, It's to know for certain that you aren't taking PEDs.. that's why they have the freedom to up until the fight to take random tests.

At the end of the day, they're not going to just trust that they deterred you from taking PEDs, they're gonna need to know for sure because they have that power.

That's like having a bucket of money in the middle of a busy street with a sign that says "i'm gonna kill you if you take this" They're not just gonna leave it up to the testee's reason, if they do that that kills their entire purpose.

That's the only thing left i have to say.

No offense man but you are clueless about this.

O.k here's another example: Marion Jones.

The track rules say she's gonna be tested for Peds. That rule is to deter people from taking peds.

What happens when she gets tested? She gets tested positive for peds.

Im confused.

Let me just say this.

Do you actually think Floyd or Shane would risk cheating knowing that any minute their door bell to their houses or training camps could be rung by USADA.

Yes or No?

Why the hell can't he accept 14 days? What's going on

not trying to burst your hate floyd bubble bros but the fighters had no idea when the testing would stopped.it was not the fighters fault that they stopped 18 days before the fight.
as for you asking why 14 days is not fine,well that offer i believe was rejected by manny before so you tell me,what has changed in that time??
am sure when manny rejected that offer before you was backing him up,and nowthat he accepts it,you still backing him up.dont follow pacman,make your own mind up as to what is acceptable.
anyway,if they get the deal done which i believe they will,what is your prediction?

the random testing is not only to catch you using peds but also to DETER you from using them my friend..
whats the point in testing athletes on given dates and letting them have the chance to use peds around the dates and giving them enough time to get it in and out their system.
am not saying either pac or floyd are wrong or right but if you want testings done they should be random and near to the fight.maybe they can comprimise 3/4 days away from the fight although i believe it should be all the way.both fighters would be tested,not just pacman so whats the problemo?
peace

Why do you think its called random blood testing, no cutoff date doesn't mean that they will test days before the fight, it just means that they have the freedom to test whenever they want. So when Manny rejected 14 days saying he thinks its too soon and will weaken him means nothing because it doesn't neccesarily mean that they will test exactly 14 days before, but just randomly any time before 14 days... thats why its random, there was no type of cutoff.

Floyd offered 14 days in the forst place to compromise and meet half way, Manny rejected it and then his team made up lies to blame it on him, which pissed him off and made him say that when he renegotiates he will no longer put that offer on the table, he hasn't even mentioned anything yet, so stop saying hes not accepting stuff when it was Manny in the first place. Floyd said he wont make that offer again in February and then in May Manny suddenly said he will accept the 14 day offer, but it was already put out there Floyd saying he isn't offering it second time around.

Think about it, Floyd has only made no comment about negotiations, that doesn't mean hes rejected anything, stop jumping to conclusions and wait and see what happens.

I agree. But this statement has nothing to do with accepting a 14-day cutoff and the point you're trying to make on this thread. Those are two different things. The USADA doesn't follow the same protocol every time. However, the premise is the same: unannounced testing.

Exactly, its random for a reason... they randomly choose when to test people and that is that, maybe they should have performed tests closer, but they did it randomly and Shane and Floyd still undergone the same amount of tests.

At the end of the day, having a cutoff date means you know you aren't going to be tested again after that cutoff, so it gives you freedom to do certain things and get away with the testing after the fight (if the reports saying PED's can be out of your system within days of taking that is), however if there is no cutoff and they don't know when they are tested they don't have the freedom to take anything after a cutoff because they don't know whether or not they will be tested again or how many more times they will be tested, the fact that they don't do it for 10, 14, 18 days is irrelevant, it still doesn't give you the freedom to take anything because you don't know when your going to be tested next.

well put..couldnt have layed it down any better.you need to copy and paste that everytime this questions comes up..lol
