Wonder why Manny dodged it in 2009/2010. Lets see: March 13th 2010-Check MGM Grand-Check 8 ounce gloves-Check Ring size-Check Small items such as who comes out first, who's name is first-Check 50/50 split-Check Mayweather to pay $10,000,000 per pound over 147-Check Random drug testing by USADA up until 14 days before the fight-Pac said no way, I'll go fight the #6 rated Clottey. Pacquiao just keeps ducking and using whatever excuse that is available. To *******s-There was nothing else they could have come up with.
If the tests are inadequate, and those in the know are aware of that, then it barely matters who get's tested more. If I'm tested for something that I know I can conceal, or I know is not even tested for, then they can test me a million times, it makes no difference. As far as I'm concerned, many boxers are looking rather suspicious right now. There is too much smoke for there not to be any fire.
Floyd usually fights 2 times in a 12 month period. Your talking a calendar year.:rofl:rofl No seasons in boxing.:rofl
No boxer has been a part of Olympics Style Drug Testing (OSDT), yet (but Donaire wants to start soon). OSDT is "year round, no notice testing." Floyd has participated in 3 random testing (32 random tests), but those were not OSDT (though better than existing drug testing program in boxing).
Yup-Berto, suspicious and caught. Petersen, suspicious and caught. But they pass all commission testing. They fail the WADA testing which VADA and USADA go by.:hi:
They were olympic style in that they used the same methods and types of tests etc... I heard Adamek had it in his contract for a while too but dipped out.
Hands up there, I made a mistake, I shouldn't post at work. But the general point stands, one fight and one fighter doesn't prove USADA is at least equal to VADA (and visa versa).
They both go by the exact same standards, and that is WADA. The difference is cost. USADA charges a lot more than VADA. Both use WADA standards to the very fine line. They both do exact same testing.
