Fan asks Manny, "Are you gonna take the tests or what?" Manny responds....

[The Gambler1981]

what do you know really? are you sure about that? what about USADA, do they have any power over pro boxing?

Not if they don't get asked.

They are the leading drug test lab in the United State and is national in scope, I like that over state by state where the rules are very different and holes can be found. Even if Nevada totally gets on the ball a cheater could just fight in a different state and get around it.

It is a shitty problem in boxing that doesn't have any easy fixes.

Which is why i have no issue with fighters taking the lead since they should look out for their own interests and this is a very dangerous sport where a slight edge a guy should not have could mean the difference between life and death.

I personally don't want to see someone have to get killed or severely hurt for people to get serious about this issue, which is what it would take at this point which in turn makes me very sad.

Why not just take the test Manny? You can prove your innocence and make your accusers look like fools. Why not?

That would be against his cultural beliefs, Why should any phillipino subject themselves to a random drug test than 14 years old get subjected to?

[brick wall]

No, i'm still a *******. I'm just posting what Victor Conte had stated. He is the expert, not me.


FanHouse: Can we begin with the concern for EPO in boxing?

Victor Conte: Well, you're specifically asking about the significance of the phrase, '19 hours.' And yes, EPO will clear the system in less than a day. But that number is a mean average -- the 19 hours.

so what are you fixing? is 19 hours not less than 7 days to you huh?

[The Gambler1981]

bwhahahahahahahaha!

if it isn't arbitrary it isn't random ******. that's what random means!

if USDA is choosing the dates, it ain't random!!!!

I guess you didn't get the part where it is random to the people getting tested~

Try again. I know you worked hard for that failure but keep you chin up

[Carpe Diem]

so what are you fixing? is 19 hours not less than 7 days to you huh?

It is. I thought you meant 3 to 4 days when you say less.

[IMDAZED]

you mean the nsac rules which has direct jurisdiction over pro boxing? go ask the people who want to modify it.

No, that's not what I mean. Oh wait..it's brick. How apropos.

false...

lack of foreknowledge doesn't make the process random.

usada as far as pro boxing is concerned is an agency for hire. in fact tygart tried to whore himself and the agency when this issue broke out.

and who won't agree if fighters want to look after their safety? by all means they have the right to do that...just do it right and don't act like a bitch.

It is random to the people involved that is why it is called random drug testing since they are not in on the schedule.

If you have no clue when a test will come guess what to you it is random.

I typed two sentences it took me less than a minute to do both of these posts, and my point is solid.

Try again failure

Pullcounter stop reaching and be a rational person for once instead of being an idiot. People getting the testing dont know when the tests are coming and when they will end. Its as simple as that. Anybody who makes this harder then what it is is just trying to be difficult or are truly a moron.
