Anyone who thinks a majority of boxers are clean is simply sticking their head in the sand.

That is simply your opinion.

Comissions test and most if not all use the same lab @ UCLA (AKA USADA). OSDT is a complete and utter joke. Not an opinion just a fact. It is rife with corruption and hand greasing not to mention easy to circumvent. In addition commissions don't even test for synthetic testosterone nor EPO, so what exactly are they looking for? Commissions have zero incentive to bust a fighter, they stand to lose money for their respective states if they cancel a card. Also, USADA isn't even compelled to report a dirty test (see GBP) or go as far as creating/testing "C" samples in an effort to pass a fighter. (See Morales). All facts, a little research can open eyes. Anyone who thinks a majority of boxers are clean is simply sticking their head in the sand.

There are definitely problems with USADA and VADA testing, and the USADA arrangements in boxing are particularly ridiculous, but at least they represent steps in the right direction. Major issues remain but the options available to sporting organisations are better than they were ten years ago.

In truth, the biggest challenge to clean sport is probably the attitude of the sporting organisations themselves. Drug scandals scare away advertisers and no organisation will put itself at risk of those financial hits if it's at all avoidable.

is he working with Memo too?

Memo works in Mexico where it's nice and legal and there are no federales to worry about.

With the cyclists it was all about hematocrit levels which is why EPO was the weapon of choice. They popped testosterone capsules and used patches as well but again that was about endurance. Large muscle mass was not something they wanted so muscle growth promoters were of no interest to them.

We're on the same page. However, anything that aides in muscle recovery time is beneficial to any athlete.

He should've worked with him, or his at least Memos padawan Alex.

look how long it took to catch lance armstrong.............not saying manny on anything just say people can keep screct for a long time

But Manny is not lance though lol. Team PAC is so sloppy and unorganized if PAC was on it, it would have leaked out already also considering the people that surrounds him are all money hungry and again guy from a 3rd world country couldn't have fooled anyone for this long.

How the hell did a thread about East Coast-based athletes being busted out turn into a thread about pactards declaring Manny innocent?

It's boxingscene, you could get a bunch of us together for breakfast, someone orders orange 'juice' and there'd instantly be a brawl about roids and peds.
