    How can USADA test for Xylocaine if they stopped testing 18 days before the fight?

    Good point but I think they test after the fight too but still the stuff is probably gone by the time the fight is over. Thats what Marc Ratner, of the NSAC told Oscar and what Freddie Roach said about the caffeine and Ephedrine ( even though hydroxicut no longer has ephedra).

    It figures that we got Pretty Boy and Golden Boy both cheating and with official bigwigs helping them out all along the way and now Oscar and his blogger minions like Eze are hypocritically hardest of all on Margarito.

    so where's your source that xylocaine is a banned substance in the other states? as far as i know, it's only banned in 7 states

    and lets not sidestep the issue that you tried correlating the effects of xylocaine of suppressing norepinephrine and how it's a performance enhancer based on better recovery....notice the 2nd article had NOTHING to do with xylocaine

    I said Xylocaine was banned double standardly in Nevada and some other States. Under the firestorms, both Mark Ratner and Kieth Kizer of the NSAC have both gone public about it being banned yet they let Oscar get away with it back when he used it and Tygart has already supported Floyd's use of it

    Just read the first paragraph were I wrote that Xylocaine suppresses adrenalines. Then read the second paragraph dealing with adrenalines hindering anaerobic performances, increasing confusion and decreasing recovery.

    So be a good sport and be prepared because adrenaline can help in a street fight or a quick escape but you wont always be cool and collective about it, as is needed in boxing and many other sports

    1:40 and up is really interesting. So basically NSAC is being accused by Team Mayweather that their drug testing is sub par and yet that's the same commission that allows Floyd to use something illegal before fights.

    Floyd fans are accusing Pac of using roids while Floyd is open with his xylocaine use prior to a fight which is illegal. Damn

    if that's the case, it's quite obvious that new drug testing protocols need to be put in place right? people here kept arguing that the NSAC's policies were good enough lol...you guys can't have it both ways. it's either floyd is a ***** for trying to get new drug testing protocols or the NSAC's current drug testing is good enough...which is it? cuz sounding from that video clip (which is old as **** btw), NSAC needs to update it's drug testing techniques....BRING ON USADA haha

    @maracho...but it's a depressant..as stated in your first article, it SUPRESSES norepinephrine which is part of the fight or flight response where it gets your body ready for battle...how's it helpful in a street fight if it suppresses it? and current rules are it's illegal if used within 1 week of fight night in nevada..i don't know about the other states..but seeing as it's not on the banned list of WADA and isn't banned in many states (only 7 i think), where the hell did this notion of it being banned everywhere come from?

    This could also be a reason why Floyd fights once a year. Hand injuries takes long to heal. I also have another suspicion but I won't go there lol.

    LOL it really does suck because 8oz. will be used if he ever finds the balls to fight pacman. LMAO first round he'll break his hand. LMAO Pac has A-side Meffffffff filled chin and Floyd's pretzel made hands will crumble just as soon as he hits Pac's mustache and beard. :lol:

    The USADA isn't testing for Xylocaine. It's not on their banlist. Only the NSAC test for it.

    That means nothing.

    NSAC will also be doing their testing right after the fight. And NSAC TEST FOR Lidocaine.

    During the last week of a fight, I don't believe a fighter needs it, the training has calm downed and the fighter is resting. Doing light workouts at most during the last week.



    Even if a fighter used it inside of the week it's not that big of a issue. As long as it wasn't used on fight night in a place where it's illegal.

    Floyd admitted on camera that he got two Novacaine shots in Michigan, and Larry Merchant was interviewing asking him which hands got the shot. Floyd was never fined, suspended nor did Larry who criticizes everyone, even care.

    That's the problem with USADA and NSAC. Both have different banned substances in their list. Again, inconsistency of Both USADA AND NSAC.

    :lol:

    When has NSAC let Floyd use Lidocaine when its been illegal?

    They've been testing for it for quite some time now.
