    Boxing and tennis can't be compared. Unlike boxing which is unarmed combat and needs an exception from the law in an regulated environment tennis is basically unregulated. It comes down to how the drug testing is handled...
    Even this was shocking

      I think the rumor was that Floyd had some provision in one of his contracts in case of positive test results. Apparently they take 2 samples (or 1 sample and split it) and only one of the samples is tested unless it comes up positive, then the athlete has the option to challenge the test results and request the 2nd (B) sample also be tested.

      The rumor was that the first (A) samples came up positive, and instead of challenging the results and requesting the second (B) samples be tested, Floyd got a "waiver" from USADA for "inadvertant use".

      Again, this was just a rumor and it's been around for a while,
      but @ "inadvertant use".. yea he inadvertantly got PEDs in his system.. maybe he fell on a needle...

But if for some reason he was "Blood Doping" dont you guys think his 2 performances against maidana would have been more dominant??? Floyd has slipped dramatically in the last 2 fights, i would contribute that to a fighter who is ageing, rather then a fighter who is taking enhancement drugs.

        But if he is he is, what the *** do i or any of you guys know about it! Innocent until proven guilty.
        Yeah he's definitely slipping. If he's taking PEDs then he's taking the wrong kind cause they aren't helping him
