    http://www.faqs.org/sports-science/Us-Z-and-bibliography/United-States-Olympic-Committee-USOC.html Just so you don't miss them . The USOC Coaching Code of Ethics makes particular reference to the obligation of coaches to seek drug-free sport. It is this issue that caused the USOC particular difficulty in terms of the international reputation of American sports in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In the period between scandals created at the 1988 Summer Olympics when Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson tested positive for the steroid stanozolol and the creation of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in the late 1990s, the USOC administered the Olympic drug-detection program. The USOC was widely criticized for its maintenance of an ineffective anti-doping program. Dr. Wade Exum of the USOC, who was responsible for the direction of the program, was terminated from his position in 2001. Exum revealed at that time that the USOC had recorded 18 positive drug tests among its tested athletes between 1984 and 2000, but it had not published the names of these athletes nor had the USOC imposed any sanctions regarding the participation of the offending athletes in international competition. The positive tests ranged from the presence of stimulants such as ephedrine, as well as banned steroids. These athletes were permitted by the USOC to participate in the Olympics; Carl Lewis, gold medalist in the 1988 Olympics 100 m, was among those that tested positive.

    The International Olympic Committee in 1988 distributed a list of more than 70 banned substances to athletes and each Olympic committee. In addition, the U.S. Olympic Committee and each sport's governing bodies made available to athletes lists of over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements that contained banned substances.

    Dr. Robert Voy, then the U.S. committee's chief medical officer, wrote in a 1988 memo. "Anyone who is found positive for substance abuse will be disqualified from the Olympic Team.

    And "It didn't matter where it came from," Greenberg said. "Cold medicine, whatever. If you took something, you don't compete.

    The public stance of the USOC was very hardline. Fingers were routinely pointed at eastern european countries, and I think that many of us can remember the holier than thou attitude after the Ben Johnson episode.

    However, it seems that the USOC's own guidelines were designed to allow an 'out' for athletes that tested positive:Section 8.2.3.1 of the U.S. Olympic Committee rules stated if the appeals panel "determines 'innocent use,' the athlete will not be penalized and no further testing is necessary."

    floyd went away for 2 years man. he roided up, came back and its like he never left in the 1st place. he picked up where he left off. mosley, jmm, ortiz, he was dominate in all those 3 bouts. he supposedly failed all 3 drug tests for those bouts with the help of usada, nsac and goldenboy covering for him just so he could make them millions. i wonder how long he has been roiding for and if he did it for most of his career. funny thing is, his partner in crime was also a juicer, de la hoya. he never signed that waiver to release his drug test results from nsac after being challenged by boxing writer, thomas hauser.

    If you are a retired athlete nobody tests you as there is no reason to be tested so if Floyd did in fact get the therapy it is not an issue.

    Testosterone replacement therapy is a legal medical treatment that is of benefit to ageing men and thus not an issue.

    Since the Marquez fight Floyd has been undergoing rigorous tests yet he is the target and not the guy who fights in Texas where there is no testing ... this is what seems odd to everybody else

    aside from aging men..... you know who else needs testosterone replacement therapy?

    who else has low testosterone levels?

    ped users whose use of peds have lowered their ability to make testosterone naturally.

    just saying.....

    that is hardly an argument as you have no proof that he has had testosterone therapy. that would be a reckless standard for a serious journalist to live by

    i didn't say it was proof.

    i just brought up who else has low testosterone.

    not talking about floyd.

    just replying to your statement that it's a legit procedure for those with low testosterone like aging men.

    and i just pointed out that ped abusers also have low testosterone because their ped use affected their body's natural production of it.

    Who cares if Floyd got therapy while he was retired? I do blow on weekends but never when I go into work.

    Do you see how you applied this Googled **** to your thoughts, lmao. What does this have to do with boxing today, and where is the evidence against Floyd? This Googled info is not even the complete truth. The athletes were caught with whatever was in their system that they tested for at that time. How does this apply to todays boxers, lmao? You picked and chose what to post here, lmao.
