So childish, all these threads...
look at the big picture, we get random OST testing then we get a higher chance of the fight happening.
That's what "real" boxing fans want to see.Comment

What the hell does your post #20 have to do with my comment? If the tests are going to be done, they are going to be paid for before the fight is over, not afterwards. The lead promoter will pay for the tests in advance. So what the hell is your point?
My point is this lame a$$ comment is Bob Arum's attempt to save face in the midst of the ****** comments made by Pacquaio's adviser and the continued criticism of Pac for refusing to take the tests when every other fighter from 140 to 154 is willing to take the tests. Arum had no problem with the USADA's neutrality when he was proposing a 14-day cutoff. Now, he does. Anyone but a ******* can see what is going on.Comment

I got this from the other thread perceiving USADA a bit su****ious...Maybe people should go and read about USADA before they say ****** shiet like this.They are a non-profit organization recognized by the US Congress as the official anti-doping agency for Olympic, Pan American and Paralympic sport in the United States. Yeah, that have to mean they are working for Mayweather!

I keep reading how a lot of these Olympic athletes have never tested positive, and how USADA should get off their backs already. But one athlete reportedly testified to the grand jury that he used steroids, and some of the stuff he used was designed to fool the drug tests. Leaking grand jury testimony is deplorable. If USADA's people did that, they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I'm also troubled by how USADA has lessened the burden of proof to sanction an athlete, from a positive test to circumstantial evidence. There's an Oklahoma Land Run quality to USADA's prosecution. But now we're told you can take drugs and still pass the drug tests. So what do we do with that knowledge? How do you catch the people who do that? I've always assumed athletes want their sports to be clean.

Armstrong's attorneys say USADA's current offer is for riders to talk to federal investigator Jeff Novitzky, who could then give the information to USADA.
Presumably, the deal would only be worthwhile for riders who are still competing or young enough to return to competition if a ban was lifted.
"USADA is promising riders a sweetheart deal if they can produce anything harmful on Armstrong," Herman said. "A rider who has doped, they tell them, 'If you can finger Armstrong, we'll get out the eraser ... and everything is cool.'\u2009"
Herman said he could not disclose which rider or riders have been offered a deal. In the past Herman has said that, as a private entity, USADA's deal offer is similar to bribery.
