    Lol, CERA is detected in URINE too. Riccardo Ricco was the first to get caught with it. Did you know that Roche worked with WADA secretly to develop the test? It does show in blood too, but the first positive came from urine.

    Because it depends on what the urine is testing. Usually, what you associate with urine test are dipstick method which is a screening method with very specific number of drugs being tested. Meaning you just dip a piece of plastic embedded with certain reagents and it would give you positive or negative result, similar to pregnancy test.

    However, urine specimen can be tested similar to a blood testing. You just have to know what you are looking for, similar to a blood testing as well. It would give you the exact amount of drug that is in your system.

    No. It can be (Ricardo Ricci was booted from the Tour De France on the basis of a urine test iirc).

    I remembered it was experimental back then when Ricco got busted but it was supposedly not used anymore. Ricco's team director of sport, he's got a book out now and he's accusing Levi of doping and how he didn't know. Much like how he didn't know he had a full team of dopers... hehe.

    What is the point anyway?

    USADA do not adopt the tour de france protocol or methodology.

    The french anti-doping agency is unique in that it adopts the newest technology to detect cheats while the USADA is simply 5 years behind. It apparently does not adopt technologies readily unless it can stand the scrutiny of a court for fear of being sued by athletes.

    Steve Forbes trained with Manny. I don't think he's lost Steve's respect in that regard.

    Diaz made 540K against JM. Of course he would say pac is cheating before saying "man for 40 million I'll butt **** my grandma, I would eat a pound of human waste, etc."

    He's basically saying for turning down 40 million he's got to be a cheat, nothing scientific. I would think someone inside the industry would know more than casual fans... If MP makes 25-30 million for MP/Margarito, it's states MP doesn't need FM to make mega money and the huge migraine.

    Void has already lost respect among his peers and fans! Void is afraid, very afraid. Quick, someone give Void a Valium so he will sign a contact, or how about a bottle of 100 proof booze?!

    a better question might be why didn't crack head jr sign when he was licensed?
