Is the PED called Xylocaine still legal in Nevada?

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.Comment

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.Comment

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

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"?Comment
