pointless testing. it does not help the sport one bit when its not year round testing.
Mayweather has contracted with USADA for every bout since fighting Shane Mosley in May 2010. He's been tested 83 times in all - clean each time - averaging nearly a dozen tests for each fight, according to USADA statistics. He fought twice last year and was tested 32 total times.
This will mark Pacquiao's first bout with USADA testing, though he was subject to testing by the Las Vegas-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association in his last two outings. Both fighters have agreed to abide by the World Anti-Doping Agency code. That means a positive test could result in a four-year ban from competition.
USADA sent staff members to both fighters' camps six weeks ago to explain the process and answer questions. The boxers were put in the testing pool and were immediately subjected to random visits. USADA doesn't release the exact number of tests planned, but fighters are visited at all hours of the day, usually at their homes or gyms. Each has had to submit to both blood and urine testing in the weeks before Saturday's bout and were subject to the WADA's complete list of banned substances, including EPO, human-growth hormone and synthetic testosterone. The test samples will be stored for 10 years, in case future testing is required.
"It's miles ahead of anything that is otherwise out there," Tygart said. "Is it as ideal as what a year-round Olympic athlete falls into? Well, it's not quite there yet. But we wouldn't perform a program if we weren't comfortable if given the obvious constraints it led to a healthy, safe clean competition."
Man, I dunno. I search Mayweather for 2014, and it shows no results and post a screenshot. Then a few minutes later there are results? That's just weird.
You selected Mayweather for 2014 and the category 'Boxing'. But Mayweathers test were listed in 'Professional Boxing'. 'Boxing' is usually for amateur boxing.
They will also test him tomorrow as well. Complete disgrace to the sport and blatant display of trying to drain the opponent before the fight. Like I've been saying, they will try anything possible to get PAC to pull out of the fight.

No you didn't you searched Mayweather and then changed the drop down box to 2014 after. Stop the bull****. He took 24 tests in 2013, 32 in 2014.

Wait, where is the framing Manny with a failed drug test theory? Floyd does own USADA you know.
