NO CUT OFFs, the fight gets made. FACT and end of story......

did mosley get an 18 day cut-off? Or did USADA simply elect not to draw blood within that period??

conspiracy!!!!!!!!!!!!

It supposed to be a role model

But what happen?

Now everybody's talking about 14 days cut-off that Pac accepted

and now USADA Tygart on the rescue!!! defending floyd WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

Very good timing!!!

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.

Stop making this about Floyd. What are you going to say when the NSAC adopts random testing, which they will. Where someone is tested year round is not relevant at all, that is just a thinly veiled attempt on your part to make a point that is totally moot. The idea of random drug testing as relates to boxing is to prevent a roided up fighter from entering the ring. Since you are such an authority on roids, you would know steriods need to be taken in cycles, so testing 2-3 months from an event is an effective deterrent and can successfully mitigate the usefulness of them.

Angry lol nah!! Like i said before "Floyd this floyd that" as highlighted at the top, This isnt about Floyd but about our sport of boxing until you get that then no point in going in circles...One thing is for sure most boxing fan want a change in boxing and anything that helps that is fine...No negatives but positives, If people want to tear down anything that would benefit boxing because of their favourite fighter then Wow.

ok mate! it isnt about floyd then why is the fight stalling mate? whose demands are we waiting on? Isnt the whole bloody issue the result of the fight not happening?

if it was about boxing mate, youd push for year round testing instead of worrying aboot 14 days.

haha, you guys are seriously ****in kidding me when you say its not about floyd. The only reason you guys have a lick of knowledge of USADA is because of floyd. who brought the usada into boxing? tell me it was vic darchiniyan or audley harrison. thought so.




and who made you the expert on roids? Ever hear of offseason training? Never hear of a boxer lifting 4 months prior to a bout? Tell me roid expert. If one were to roid for 5 months, cycle the "peds" out, then take 1 month of random testing, all the benefits from roiding in those 5 months are gone? or are we still worrying about 14 days of an unknown substance that can only be caught by blood but apparently can give all the muscle gains in the world in such a small window.

Who told you the fight is stalling? again your point is moot about all year, We cant even get the "Fighter of the decade" to participate in 2-3 months testing without asking for leeways, Boxing cant just introduce all year testing just like that, You start from somewhere and if they think all year testing is a way forward then they would probably go for it but for now all they seem to want to test for his when the fighters actually get into training camp.

[jltsmae]

USADA is the hindrance of the fight. The solution is take out USADA from the equation, look for another independent and qualified agency that will conduct the random/ thorough drug/ ped/ roid test... how about that Floyd believers?

Year round testing by who? The sanctioning body, The state athletic commisions, the promoters? who pays that bill and which fighters out of the thousands who currently hold boxing licenses around the world. Your are talking millions of dollars. Not realistic at all.
