Do You Endorse Blood Testing ?

Floyd boys should have a mind of their own and look everything up. you should know the difference between a "duck" and "wanting to clean up the sport".

 

Definately endorse it ...

Although I don't think the PEDs issues is the main issue in boxing

 

WOW :rofl SYNTHETIC urine??!!blood

 

Yeah i do. I think that there were a lot of boxers in the 80s and 90s...the 2000s as well..that have taken performance enhancing drugs and it is very dangerous in a sport like this. I think some of the all time greats in the past 25 years have taken them but we will never know.

 

I have more than one friend who uses this for probation

 

Again she never failed the test. Urine or blood. Two vile with the exact same sample should have the same results. The very fact that they keep multiple of the same sample clearly shows the test are not 100% accurate.

Again I'm not debating whether they shouldn't do better testing. I'm all for it. I just don't like the way it is being done. It shouldn't be a negotiation chip and at a boxer's discretion. If it is going to be done then do it properly.

 

I know, that's why I said 'or are curious as to why its needed'.

I really doubt there would be so much digging as to the effectiveness of blood testing vs. urine testing if Pacquiao did not make a big deal about taking the test. Perhaps it would be sufficed to say that EXPERTS in the field developed this method to ensure fairness on the most significant level of sports competition, and that this is simply the MOST effective method CURRENTLY for catching the WIDEST range of PED's known to have been abused by athletes. Suddenly, everyone needs to be an expert on the specifics of why this is so... there only seems to be one reason for that.

A BBC investigation has found that there are serious question marks over a key drug test just two weeks before the start of the Beijing Olympics. The BBC has seen indications that labs are classing positive tests for the blood-boosting drug EPO as negatives. Some samples have been described as suspicious - giving rise to fears that no action will be taken against cheats.

I can assure you that if you were to take recombinant EPO and that would be in your urine - then, yes, we would detect it

Dr Olivier Rabin, WADA

...In fact, the numbers of athletes being prosecuted for EPO use has declined significantly - by two-thirds between 2003 and 2006...

..."WADA is sitting on a mountain of positive EPO. They have these very strict rules, and declare that everything is working fine. But it's not working at all! You can more or less do whatever you like with EPO and you will not be charged...."

 

something for the misinformed.

Also for certain drugs, you can only detect them in urine for a few days, but with blood testing, you can find it within a few weeks

 

Why Not?????

 

If Manny doesnt want blood testing, then it should not happen.

Nevermind what's good for the sport. It's all about what Manny wants. :smoke

 

logic, do you even have it?

 

Pac is willing to have his urine tested at anytime. :conf

 

OHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh, BUT.... it IS broken!

:huh:nut

IT should dedinitely tell you something.... but only if u have common sense!!

It's pacquiao talking to them... similar to Koresh and his Waco followers.
