Is the PED called Xylocaine still legal in Nevada?

[VERDUGO]

Dr. Margaret Goodman - "By numbing your hands up, you can't feel it. And when you can't feel it, you're gonna hit harder with it."


Sounds likea Performane Enhancing Drug to me.

[BOXEO _]

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

You feel pain for a reason, if you are able to numb up your hands beyond feeling, then beating on the other guy at the expense of your hands that is not the major issue.

The problem is someone can destroy their hands.


If they are not preventing that, then they are liable for such a terrible injury (wtf are you going to do without working hands). You **** your hands up in the gym preparing for a fight that is your business hence why they don't care.

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

With no pain it allows you to hit harder and for the duration of the bout. Also like I stated previously, one recorded side effect was inhibition of fear. That is a huge advantage, fear is often why boxers make mistakes or when they are too tense to properly absorb a punch. You're incredibly biased if you don't think that it is a PED.

I pretty much agree that xylocaine is a performance enhancing drug.

My only hope is that the legacies of boxers that use this particular type of PED do not suffer. Hopefully, this notion that xylocaine is really a PED does not go out into the mainstream and destroy legacies. It would be very bad for boxing.

I hope that during fight week Roach does not say something ****** like:

"I want to be there to personally watch (with a television crew) Floyd inject himself with xylocaine much like Hazeem Richardson insisted on watching Margarito put on his hand bandages before his fight with Mosley"

Roach saying the above or something like it would be bad for boxing and I hope it does not happen. But with the trash talk already going on 3 months out it could certainly happen. Let us all pray that it doesn't.

Roach already spoke on this, he used it himself, in fact many greats have if people did their research. I know that it's legal a week out of the fight.

PEDs have side effects. Risk is high but reward can be higher. So they are willing to take that chance.

Floyd was willing to inject drugs into his hands so he can smash his opponents face in harder than otherwise possible. Or at the very least, so he can get the opponents respect.

[SplitSecond]

ray leonard has used this on his hands

someone else too...but i can't remember who

Can you prove he has used it on fight night? Because they do test for it, and I gave you why they test for it.

Injuring your hands before the fight is your business, PED in training is about a lasting effect a pain killer like that is likely to have a negative long term effect.

See the difference?

Guess that's why Floyd "Hands of Crack" Mayweather doesn't fight anywhere else.
