he doesn't want to take USADA's OSDT tests. they're ridiculously expensive, and they could have an agenda (catching the sports highest profile athlete would increase demand for their services in the sport). he is open to the NSAC doing the blood testing and this proves he is being active in trying to get something done, unlike Floyd who has been all talk and hasn't approached the NSAC about improving it's drug testing policies.Comment

If you have nothing illegal pumped in your veins, what exactly do you have to be worried about being caught doing?Comment

No, no it doesn't. The framework for the bill has been in place for over 3 years, the genesis being at the time wifebeater was 'retired'. Kizer has mentioned the $1 thing several times in the past, even tried to convince Floyd to add a $1 fee for every PPV sold for Mayweather-Mosley, which would've funded a random testing program for 5 years. For some reason, it didn't happen.
The commission authorized the use of random tests, but the program ran out of money so it was never utilized. Promoters are only required to pay a $0.50 fee for events that garner less than $500K.
Does it matter how it came about? Nevada now requires random testing, in and out of competition, for all combatants. All the PED experts should be dancing in the streets.
Only question now is, what will be the reason for the next 'vacation'- taxes? trials? what's your gues?
And, w.r.t. your "reason for the next 'vacation'," are you now implying with your interpretation that any [at least top level] professional boxer who wants to be able to fight and earn money from such fights in the state of Nevada must henceforth submit to OST whether such a figher likes it or not? If so, and if correct, that is a very good development. Me thinks it is the correct interpretation anyways.
