    It is possible to develop a hematoma. I have had it happen after giving blood then exercising hard against the medical professionals' orders. What was the result? A nasty looking fake bruise due to my blood pressure forcing the vein to leak a bit and MILD discomfort at the site. Not even an issue.

    IMHO his story is complete BS. I guess they took her blood from a rolling vein with one of those new fish hook needles. :roll::lol:

    People tell tall tales all of the time. It happens far more often than people ripping veins out.

    I can't believe you bought that story. :lol:

    What can you say about the NSAC doing an independent study when they considered incorporating blood testing in their testing earlier this year? They hired 2 doctors who were once involved in boxing. The doctors findings was blood testing was absolutely unneccessary and even potentially dangerous. In the end the NSAC shot down the idea.

    Let's hear about your conspiracy theory now...:yep

    If USADA really wants to make sure each athlete is "clean". They should make the testing up till the day of the fight a must. If they stop testing, what's the use?

    or, just in case, Pac - PBF fight happens... should they also stop the test 18 days before the fight? I can't see any reason why they shouldn't do the same... unless they are biased.

    but dood, a hematoma is simply a pooling of blood under the skin (tissue)...it's just a bruise. it wouldn't "pop" as you worded it. it could ooze out if somehow the skin became broken by something.

    i think you're thinking of an aneurysm where the wall of the vessel becomes distended and balloons in size. those are dangerous and CAN pop.

    Because it avoids "extra" costs. Who was there to oversee that it was an independent study.

    Same reason way BP paid for the slap on the wrists fines instead of buying some million dollar pressure valve recommend by the regulation standards.

    Same reason why the IPCC (International panal of climate change) began fudging hockey chart sticks because climate changes wasn't happening as alarming or rapid for them. This was found through their emails.

    A few thousand dollars really that much to big Nevada fights that generate millions from the few big name events they do in a year? I can understand the costs of testing thousands of Olympics athletes that generate little revenue, but 2 fighters that generate millions at one pop?

    Errrrrrrr...... sorry, try again.

    Do you know anything about business and greed?

    Boxing has tons of corruption with paid of judges and for what? A little more money? A more promising prospect? There is no government regulating body overseeing boxing which is why a lot of these things happen that fans complain about.

    And you'd expect the NSAC to spend money. Do you think they and the doctors they hired know more about what makes the most efficient drug testing protocol than the USAD?

    Keep living in your bubble, though. You're committed even if that forces you to be in denial.

    ...and there is the conspiracy theory I was asking slick to provide. Congrats, you beat him to it. You, my friend, are slicker than slick. :yep

    Let me guess, to continue the theory, the NSAC spent some extra money to do the research to show people they tried, right? Excellent theory. All of their findings must be totally bogus and without merit.

    And all the while USADA must be pushing their testing, all for free beacuse they want to clean up the sport of boxing and not profit from all this. Because Travis Tygart is an honest man while while the NSAC is the devil, correct?

    what conspiracy theory you idiot? he said there is corruption in boxing (true: your boy's boss got fined for bribing officials) and no one wants to be the guy who has to pay the fee (what's hard to understand here? when you have a boxer, promoter, state commission and sanctioning body all trying to make $, they are not going to just hand over their cash...and since boxing has no centralized body, they just pass the responsibility around to each other, thus avoiding the expense)
