Ushering in the Drug Testing Era is a big part of Mayweather's legacy

[Sweet Jones]

Olympic style drug testing is 24/7, 365 days a year. Floyd never did Olympic testing.
Mayweather had a contract with USADA that allowed him to dictate when testing started and it was between 40 to 60 days before a fight.
For the Pacquiao fight, FM paid USADA 150,000 to do testing (VADA charges about 20,000).
USADA would grant Floyd a retroactive TUE for an illegal procedure, 20 days after the fight and that made many fans suspicious that Mayweather was once again gaming the system.

Exhibit D.

This is all they really cared about.

You still see them on Boxing Scene. They are the ones praying to their deity that McGregor wins a boxing match via rear naked choke.

"Oh, please lord. Please. Just let me see him lose."

Yeah I doubt VADA would even exist if Mayweather did not push USADA before all of his fights. Because Mayweather was the only fighter that could afford USADA which is very EXPENSIVE. VADA was formed as a more AFFORDABLE alternative. They seem to do a decent job, my only issue is that guys are failing VADA Testing doesn't seem to get punished much if at all.

I'm sure Povetkin will continue to fight somewhere in Russia despite failing test multiple times. Lucian Bute, was he ever punished for his failed test, instead he gets rewards with a WBC Eliminator for a shot a Stevenson. Boxing fans flip flop so much though it is laughable!

The commissions, promoters, managers and coaches, as well as the fighters themselves have to accept the major responsibility for the PED use. It is a major problem, remember these guys are hitting each other in the head not running races, and there is no real will to clean it up or punish the offenders effectively imo.

Cleaning up the sport = injecting IV to cover up his ped use. LOL

[Eff Pandas]

Yea its hard to argue that Floyd didn't change the PED testing landscape regardless if you're a fan or not or think he did PEDs or not. I think historically this will be a blurp on his HOF transcript, a part of his legacy in the sport & mentioned on his obit.

USADA doesnt grant tues, WADA does.

Mayweather changed the perception of testing in the sport of boxing, and made dozens of butthurt pacfans into "doping experts".

[BoxingIsGreat]

Floyd has left a great legacy for future generations of boxers. Advanced drug testing is one of the things he will be remembered for. Thanks, Floyd!

Not to mention the shady 750ml of IV. Great example. What a stand up guy.

there is nothing shady about 25 ounces of salt water administered by a paramedic in front of a doping control officer with a urine sample given before and after.

Too bad he was pretty much caught to be a ped cheat

Taking the same substance as Armstrong did which hides drugs. lol he used he excuse of severe hydration when we walks around his weights apparently and also like 10 times the amount a critically ill person in hospital takes in that substances

Then here is the refusal to reveal his test results in court and paying compensation instead to pacman. He was hiding something and now the world knows he is a cheat

He will forever go down as a cheat

you're completely delusional. the salt water was given by a paramedic in front of the doping control officer and floyd was tested before and after.

the HBO propaganda machine made many fans suspicious because they didn't know anything about the proper protocol. evidence has to be gathered and analyzed to determine if the use was legitimate. that takes time.

everything floyd did was on the up and up. done in front of the DCO. then you file your paperwork, medical reports, etc so it can be determined that the use was legitimate.
