Comments Thread For: USADA Head Throws Water on Pacquiao's 14-Day Window

What are these guys talking about?? Saying there was no need to test floyd and shanes bloods after 18 days and thats why they didnt?? Makes NO sense to me whatsoever, are they able to smell roids from a distance and then somehow decide more blood testing MAY be needed and in this case didnt bother. If blood testing was agreed right up the fight then it should have been done imo and not avoided because they didnt "feel" it was necessary, who makes that call i wonder?? someone in the pay of one of them maybe LOL

What can actually be done in the 14 days up to the fight that cant be caught in urine and a post fight blood test? Arnt fighter normally easing down in this peroid anyway?

Your second statement just answered the first, the continued the urine & if anything weird would have been found, more blood tests would have been done. but more important then the fact the did cut off the blood was that the fighters didn't know about it and expected it to still be going on, so it was still keeping them honest.

so youve never heard of boxer weight lifting 5 months before a fight? haha, how naive. also, floyd only tests 1 month before a fight.

those 2-3 months you mentioned he could be roiding too. The lean muscle gained wont be gone come fight night, but the trace or roids could be since he's not yearly tested.




haha who the **** are you, tygart himself, stop selling us. You act like youre making money off this. who cares about usada, we just want the fight. Manny is willing to comprimise on these lame tests that dont even catch a true roid user.

the whole point of floyd bringing up all these is to clean up the sport, but he's not even being tested year round. Until then, he just found a way out of the fight, and currenly you have no answer as to why he's not being tested right now.

Ray is kicking your ass lol

these USADA standards were exposed for being a joke

how would this be any different than the NSAC tests?

Blood testing...NSAC dont test blood

[jltsmae]

USADA on Shane - Floyd testing - "WE chose not to test for blood closer to the fight than we did because there was no need to do so."

then why still take urine closer to the fight and blood after, when there was no need to do so??? something is really FISHY WITH THIS USADA...

[check hook]

Blood testing...NSAC dont test blood

The NSAC does not test for EPO or HGH.................

[simpac]

Floyd paid for the random test up to 18 days before the fight only. Thats why USADA stop there. No pay no test. Simple as that. He really dont want that BS testing. floyd can think of anything just to look good to his die hard fans.

i think Pac wants 14days cut off on blood test but for the urine he has no objection at all.

[WESS]

Why do you think Floyd did that? jealousy?

Its a possibility.... but with his ego minded self its highly unlikely, but it is a possiability.

Although I see him doing it to cause drama and or to get a laugh and see how gullible people are. People continuously say they don't listen to him, yet when he announces something like this EVERYONE hears.

Ever thought of it as being away to promote what he was doing. Nobody cares (especially the haters) when Mayweather does something like that. Hell they actually ignore anything good hearted he does. Ever stop and think of it being away to promote his cause and that boys fight.

It was kind of like when Kanye West at the awards when he interrupted Taylor Swift in a negative way but ended up being a positive for both. Free publicity and sky rocketed her sales.

Mayweather promoted himself, that kid and there cause with just a remark that was heard worldwide.... Great marketing skills if you ask me. That kids famous now. Where as before that news wouldn't really have made it out of that hospital. Haters would just ignore and pretend it didn't happen...not now.

Anyway to answer your question again after all that nonsense. Yes its a possibility. Jealously is a human trait.

Exactly, sir.

If a fighter is in a training routine, you expect to see pretty consistent levels in his urine and blood chemistry. Shane and Floyd must have both shown that consistency, so you can ease back a bit....WHILE RETAINING THE RIGHT TO DO IT AT ANY TIME.

The POSSIBILITY of a test is a deterrence to cheating. We have all been on a stretch of road where we know cops can't hide. What do we do? Floor the gas pedal.

Pac wants to eliminate the possibility...and thus the deterrence.
