the USADA contacted Wright lawyer two days after both fighters had given samples and said that they would no longer be doing testing for this fight. the reason they gave was that there wasn't enough time to educate both fighters on what they could and couldn't take!! Wright lawyer then contacted the USADA and asked them to the test the recent samples only to be informed that the samples had been destroyed.

They're just covering themselves, Khan has a tendency to have a bit of a brain fart and say something stupid that could potentially land himself in bother.
It's one thing calling a fighter a ducker, completely another defaming them by accusing them of being a drug cheat. Given that we've all been saying for quite a while that he basically needs to shut up, or have an intelligent mouthpiece talking for him.... it's a welcome development. But a boring one. |

On May 23,*as told to Maxboxing.com’s Steve Kim by Peter Quillin, USADA collected both blood and urine samples to be tested for the Wright fight.* On Thursday, Wright gave blood and urine to USADA as well.
“They came to my house at 6 in the morning. They took urine, blood. Everything,” said Wright. But suddenly, just two days approximately after Quillen’s sample was taken and a day after Wright’s sample was taken, USADA contacted Wright’s lawyer and announced they would not be doing testing after all. The reason given was that USADA did not have the proper time to educate the fighters on what to take and what not to. "[Ramirez, Wright’s manager] and Damien told me. I don’t understand it. All I’m asking is ‘How do you take urine and take blood and then all of sudden you say you aren’t going to test it?’ Then they tried to make up an excuse and say they wanted to teach us. They ain’t nothing to teach. They took blood, they told us we would take a test and either come up positive or negative. That’s it. What are we doing this for? Are you going to tell me not to take something I don’t need to be taking? That’s cool. All I want to know is we are playing on the same field.” Wright, wondering what was going on, decided to at least get the samples taken tested. This morning, his lawyer informed him that according to USADA, the samples have all been destroyed. “They told us that weren’t going to do [testing] two days ago,” said Wright. “So my lawyer called today and asked for it to be tested and they told him today they threw it out.”* It is unclear at press time what the protocol would be in this situation and why USADA, after getting signed contracts and going so far as to take samples, suddenly decided, two days later, to cease testing. |

wow cheers for sorting the links and stuff guys.
what the actual fuck, I feel so odd about boxing at the minute, just seems like its full of juice heads, I never even questioned anyone (not even pac) till about two weeks ago, seems like all this stuff is coming out all at once. |
