Interview: Dr. Catlin on Performing Enhancement Drugs

[Ryannn]

People already have, and in fact i started a thread about emailing them, which Floyd and Manny fans both supported. I suspect you know this. I suspect you also know they conducted a "review" of their testing and shat on the idea that they should improve it.

So what exactly are you trying to achieve by acting like you don't already know this???

well, if the commission disregarded the better testing, then go biiitch and whine to them.

not the fighters who abide by their rules

No one is b*tching about the fighters who abide by their rules. Just the ones who block progression in the name of superstition.

[CubanGuyNYC]

watched it and loved it.

Sports fans need to get informed about this stuff. It's been going on for years. And, if the documentary's correct, there has even been official approval of some PED use (the segment on Carl Lewis). Any informed baseball fan has to believe that the owners knew about steroid abuse in the Major Leagues, but looked the other way. I'm not even going to get into accusing specific boxers of using PEDs, but you'd have to be pretty naive to think that some star boxers haven't used steroids or other PEDs now or in the past. Like it or not, it's the world we're living in.

[Ryannn]

1. Not surprised ou didn't bother reading it.

2. The NSAC already did a "review" of their testing procedures and decided to maintain the status quo.



The commission has neither the money nor the incentive to change the way they conduct testing. Petitioning them or waiting on them is useless and futile.

Why is this so difficult for people to understand?

the responsibility of implementing better testing does not fall on the fighters.

if one fighter wants it, cool. if one wants to do what everyone else has to go through, fine.

my point is go shiiit on the commission for refusing better testing. not the fighters who follow those rules

[Ryannn]

No one is b*tching about the fighters who abide by their rules. Just the ones who block progression in the name of superstition.

its not pac's or any other fighters responsibilty to be subjected to testing above what is required for his fight to be sanctioned.

would it be great if pac agreed to year round testing? **** yeah, it would be wonderful.

but the commission's testing being crap has nothing to do with him.

It wasn't Pac's responsibility but he took it upon himself to take a stand against it. Again, no one is b*tching about fighters abiding by rules. Just the ones who block progression in the name of superstition.

yeah especially in the olympics. its a must for true boxing fans and true sports fans.

he didn't force anyone not to take the out of commission testing.

it was his decision for himself. its up to the fighters if they want out of commission testing or not.

anyone else can choose to take it.

him refusing it didn't stop floyd for asking for it for the rest of his fights now, did it?

point here is some may want testing, some may don't want any test aside from what is required of them.

but if the testing is sub par, then its the commission's fault.

Yes. And at the end of the day, Manny Pacquiao stood against better testing.
