Floyd Mayweathers adviser today said that a familiar demand -- random blood and urine drug testing -- will be implemented in any future fight involving the boxing star. Source: The Grand Rapids Press
I hope this is true......because love him or hate him, boxing commisions should be ashamed of themselves to not follow along the lead of Mayweather's. Mayweather's biggest accomplishent after he's through with boxing may be forcing boxing to legitly test!:yep .......Boxing should be ashamed it has come down to this!lol:
good... although i wish i could get educated on this whole blood testing thing. anyways, i think the drug testing should be better in boxing, and im glad to see he wasnt just trying to get out of a pac fight.
This should be the only way to go! Mayweather is definitely doing his best performance for the sport in his whole career by pushing for this.
I've been searching for two days now on an athlete being busted for useing an enhancement drug with the blood test. So far everyone that has been busted has been by urine test. Random urine test.
Bravo Floyd Mayweather. Ive been one of his biggest critics of his opposition but here he is helping clean up the sport.
I'll wait and see when the blood testing is concluded and when papers are signed. Til then, Fraud remains just that.
Floyd's camp has no other choice but to ask for blood testing on his future fights otherwise it will validate his ducking.
Shane will be willing to take one hell he was willing to take one for Zab Judah of all people. Shane will meet any demand of Floyd's then whoop his ass and show him how a real man boxes.
You know, I'm not entirely educated on the differences between the blood and urine tests, but I think the most important thing--either way--is that it be random. To paraphrase a common maxim I've read, scheduled drug testing is basically IQ testing. If you're not an idiot and you know your test dates, you can very easily use PEDs. Also, I commented in your other thread. Tyler Hamilton got busted for getting a homologous blood transfusion in the early '00s. The test for that, as far as I know, is actually looking at the blood cells, so I have to assume that was a blood test.
thats to bad for mosley 'cause if xylocaine (lidocaine) is true from mayweather hands mayweather will get away from juicing this drug is consider enhancing drug ' cause you can punch as hard as you can without the pain and its legal in nevadaatsch:twisted:atsch
You do realize it's legal nearly everywhere and you CANT use it fight time, because if you do, it would show up in a drug test. It's illegal within a week of the fight.
Good move from team Mayweather. Although anyone who thinks they are doing this because they want to "clean up boxing" and not because they are trying to minimize the flak they're getting from the fallout of the Pac-PBF negotiations is an idiot. if the fight is signed and Mosley agrees to testing, it'll look bad for Pac no doubt...
Everyone else CAN'T follow suit here. Maybe for major fights in Nevada, sure, but for everyone else? Random blood testing would be WAY WAY WAY too expensive to implement for all of boxing. Hell, how do you even enforce it if it's not in the contract? It's not like the State of Nevada could legally send someone to collect blood from someone in another state or another country. There are a whole host of issues that prevent this from ever being implemented on a widescale level.
