    I'd like to be "finished" as well.

    That way, my threads would reach 100 pages like this one.

    I've not confirmed or denied if I heard it.

    Facts, dude. You rarely (actually never) have them.

    Was it nonsense when Floyd's lawyers requested the same thing from Manny or just when it doesn't suit your agenda?

    This is getting tedious. GBP could have cleared this up with a trusted third party to review the documents in question a long time ago if they wanted to and had nothing to hide.

    Conte only charged a few of the athletes in BALCO. That was for cost not services. He donates all his services to the athletes he currently works with and consults/advises VADA for free. He made his money long ago. Long before BALCO.

    I'm not trying to downgrade the crime. I am showing the hypocrisy of selectively outraged fans. These guys are defending a man in jail for smacking around the mother of his kids in front of her. Will they be as unforgiving of Floyd when he returns? The best fighter in the world hitting a woman?

    I say we never forget but certainly forgive Conte's past and look at his current message.

    Because anything and everything will be under a microscope based on prior affiliations. And no, you can claim he was, but whether is currently is, is not confirmed.

    But you are right, how is anything he is currently involved in under suspect? Because before, he was unknown. Now he has a spot light on all he does that's connected. But your concern is normal. Can't deny. But you should realize the scrutiny he's under from now on.

    But he isn't involved. Not with Peterson, not with VADA and his involvement with Berto was over.

    Conte is indeed a suspicious character. He seem to feel slighted by USADA/WADA who never really acted well on the information that he gave them. And they seem to have tried to freeze him out of the anti doping "scene" as well. One conclusion, however, that Conte has publicly forwarded from that is that USADA may actually not be entirely interested in catching cheaters (see for example the drop in testing just before the 2008 olympics, Conte pointed that out).

    Why some of us gives theories like that just a tiny bit of credibility is the corruption in the predecessor to USADA where those responsible let positive athletes compete alledgely because they felt eastern block states had an unfair advantage. Today the situation is similar where Caribbean and African athletes can do whatever they want, and it shows in the results.

    I really want a clear yes or no to the rumour about GBP and USADA. If true this is much bigger than the little pond that is boxing.

    Bob arum has a history of match fixing, we have seen a number of top rank fights with fishy endings, is bob arum still under scrutiny? The way he acts you would not think so.

    Yes we know Arum is a dirty ****er, I remember back when the FBI raided his office and the IBF big scandal talking about fixing fights rigging scales ect...

    This was while Oscar was with him, and who taught/showed Oscar the ropes in this game? Bob Arum, and Oscar apparently turned out to be a pretty darn good apprentice who just so happens to be the promoter of Floyd Money May The apple doesnt fall far from the tree kid
