What's the reason behind why tygart decided to stop the test 18 days before the fight

Typical Pac..eh fan response: I'm all for Olympic Drug testing and all, BUT.................

Olympic drug test is 7/24 365 days floyd's drug test is 2 months before the fight, what's the use of the 2 months when the most effective way to use the steroids is when a fighter doesn't have a schedule fight or months before the fight.

Doctor Says Drawing Random Blood Risks Pre-Bout Hematoma
-Lem Satterfield

During the failed negotiations for a potential March 13 bout against unbeaten Floyd Mayweather, seven-division champion, Manny Pacquiao claimed that he did not want to have blood randomly drawn for drug testing within 14 days of a fight.

During Thursday's Nevada State Athletic Commission hearing and teleconference that dealt with steroids and drug testing for illegal substances, the Filipino super star's assertion received some support.

Former chief ringside physician, Dr. David Watson, argued that a hematomas, infections or other injuries could develop in the arm as a result of the skin being punctured "within three weeks of a fight."

"Dr. Watson has done thousands of weigh-in physicals and done thousands of fights. He's viewed tons of medical records. What Dr. Watson was kind of saying was that on some occasions with fighters, he would notice hematomas on the inside of the elbow where they gave blood," said Keith Kizer, executive director of the NSAC.

"So Dr. Watson was concerned that you could have fighters who -- if you take blood too close to the fight -- you could run the risk of something like that developing in a fighter," said Kizer. "That could cause an effect on their performance, especially when they've had to do fights on late notice, for the infections diseases -- Hepetitus A, Hepititis B, and HIV -- and they had to give blood for that."


Kizer said that another doctor, Robert Voy, formerly of United States Olympic Committee drug testing, "brought up the fact that you can have infections."

"There was a center in Las Vegas that re-used needles for some sort of tests, and people got Hepatitis C from that situation," said Kizer (pictured below, at right). "So there's a concern that you can infect somebody and that you can infect the arm nick the vein, or jab it in the wrong place. [Dr. Watson] noticed some bruising on the arms within three weeks of the fight. The question is, can you minimize that?"
...

Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank Promotions, for example, believes that he knows why USADA ended its random blood testing so far out from the May 1 fight date.

"You notice that they stopped blood testing in the Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley fight about 18 days before. Well, I'm not a doctor, but you have to realize that a fighter uses his arms a lot like a runner uses his legs. You can't take blood too close to the fight. Two or three weeks before the fight he can get a hematoma which can prevent him from either training or fighting," said Arum.

"If it's done further out before the fight, then there's no real problem. But closer to the fight, there's a real problem. For a fighter to lose the last week in training or the week before the fight is a disaster for a fighter," said Arum. "That could happen if he gets a hematoma in the arm that's used for the blood test. USADA, whatever, they might say, must have recognized this, and I believe that that's why they didn't test for blood before 18 days."

^That's the reason.

easy..cause it's random..meaning blood tests can randomly be cut off the day before the fight or 18 days before.



a pop quiz wouldn't be a pop quiz if your teacher were to tell you when the quiz was happening now would it?

[carts]

i doubt if pac agreed to no cut off dates they will stop the testing 18 days prior to the fight..

[pasawayako]

^That's the reason.

Thanks bro.

[pasawayako]

i doubt if pac agreed to no cut off dates they will stop the testing 18 days prior to the fight..

That's what i've been thinking too bro, if it was pac tygart would have done the test to pac on the day of the fight and 18 days for floyd and tygart reason for that is that it was a random test they randomly test the fighter and it happens that pacquiao is the one that has been tested on the day of the fight.

[pasawayako]

It seems like it's hard to find a peds experts now in NSB since floyd was concentrated in money split after pac agreed to the test, i could see plenty of accountant now in this board defending floyd on why he should get the most money.

[Carpe Diem]

Give it a rest, Pac..eh fans.

Why tygart decided to stop the random blood test in mosley-mayweather 18 days before the fight? Could it be that tygart already know that even the fighter will use whatever steroids or peds they will never be benefited the effect of those peds/steroids in 18 days before the fight, just like what conte said that using steroids/peds months before the fight is an effective way but using them in those time frame is just useless and will never give them any advantage in the fight.

How about u guys? Why do u think tygart decided to stop the blood test 18 days before the fight?

So if this is the case lol...why didn't PAc agree to the testing then, and why is he agreeing now lol...

[pasawayako]

So if this is the case lol...why didn't PAc agree to the testing then, and why is he agreeing now lol...

Because pac wanted this fight so badly and his fight this november could be his last fight so he wanted to fight floyd before retiring to give the boxing fans what they wanted, but this isn't about pac this is about tygart reasons on why he stop taking the blood test 18 days before the fight.
