Is the PED called Xylocaine still legal in Nevada?

[Cut Man]

Performance Enhancing Drug

Anything that enhances performance. So if it numbs the pain, its a PED. The loophole is if it's allowed and considered legal in Nevada, then Floyd has the excuse to use it.

It doesn't enhanced performance though. It just helps a figher get through the pain, it doesn't make you any stronger or add any power. It actually can harm a fighter more than help him because he doesn't feel the damage he is doing to his own hand

There was another thread about this today.

It's "regulated" in Nevada; you have to tell them you're using it, what injury you're using it for and possibly stop using it right before the fight (I'm not sure about that last part -- may have changed.

It is "treated like" a PED even if it isn't one for the same reason as other drugs: Anything that make a fighter hopped up or numbed down enough to endanger their sensory/safety is subject to regulation.

The local injection format is probably why they don't make a big deal out of lidocaine/xylocaine, since it only numbs tiny spots.

What? It is not treated as a PED according to WADa

It's legal in every state.

You don't know what you're talking about its legal and it's not treated as a PED

Floyd lathers it on his assh0le so he doesn't feel pain when his bodyguards are ramming him from behind.

Look what type of lame weirdos post on here. You have to be g.a..y to write some stuff like that

Yes it enhances performance

Of course it does

It makes you throw more punches, not fear the consequences of landing punches

Sounds like he's speaking from experience.

So it needs to make you stronger or add power to be a PED? Dumb.

What about PEDs that increase stamina? So you can throw bombs all night long and dance around the ring, going hard for 12 rounds. Work every second of every round and also having enough in the tank to go for a KO in the second half of the fight.

Stamina enhancers do enhance performance because it aides a physical atribute. Xylocaine doesn't do that. It just numbs the pain it doesn't increase speed or improve stamina of give strength or anything like that. It doesn't make the hand any stronger or more durability

But by numbing the hand, does it not literally increase that hand's ENDURANCE?

In other words, if without it the fighter would have only been able to punch all out for three rounds - but by injecting himself with it he can now be able to punch all out for 11 rounds. Has he not then just been able to ENHANCE his performance (via temporary hand endurance) as a boxer because of xylocaine?

And isn't "endurance" an important factor of boxer PERFORMANCE which is the key word in the phrase "PERFORMANCE Enhancing drug"?
