Mind games! trying to make Tony the rabbit in the headlights he was for Mosley.

Not that it mattered anyway

What about those energy pills he was also trying to take? I wonder if he's taken those before in previous fights or this was just another "1 time thing" he was gonna try like the plaster?

He made statement that he has taken the pills before.

Of course it won;t the rules don't apply to Top Rank.

Viewers of last November's Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito pay-per-view will recall that shortly before the fight began, controversy arose when the over the counter weight loss supplement, Hydroxycut, was found in Margarito's locker room. Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach asked that Margarito be immediately drug tested. The Texas officials said that they would conduct a drug test immediately after the fight per normal protocol.

Why didn't Kizer explain that earlier ?

It woulda saved a lot of conjecture.

The writer of this article should do their research because Hydroxycut no longer contains ephedra. I am not defending Margacheato, just stating facts with regards to the ephedra issue at hand. I figure the NSAC would know that Hydroxycut does not contain ephedra anymore.

Really? Any idea when they excluded it?

who on these boards don't stream?

lol, very good point

I don't know whats in that hydroxycut stuff but I remember Kellerman and Lampley going crazy going back and forth saying it was ephedra. Maybe that's why this commissioner explained thge rules on ephedra.

How can a fighter be drinking in camp? Doesn't that make cutting weight hard?

He was just providing an example as to how ephedra is legally categorized.

It is similar to alcohol in that they don't view it as a steroid, peroid, even if you tested positive right after the fight. Nobody drinks during training.

He made statement that he has taken the pills before.

Yep, I remember that, but like jro said they aren't illegal, you can even take them during training. Roach was blowing it out of proportion.
