    Unless everyone wants to say that the Mosley we saw on May 1 was an example of a Superman, PED user...

    Yes a vital information like this deserves a thread for the information not to be mixed with the nonsense bickering on other threads that have a different topic. Unless you want the members of this board be misinformed?

    Besides, it saves people like me on searching the information. I just logged on 2 minutes ago.

    As i said, this is a good information. 16 and 17 days before the fight seems to be the last random test done prior to the fight. This new information plays a major item when we'll be discussing the negotiation in this boards from hereon.

    By the way, in 24/7 show. The part where a guy stops mosley's crew from travelling to vegas because Mosley needs to be tested. That's an HBO actor? I also have an initial impression that the last test was atleast only a week before the fight because of that "scene". Unless Mosley's training camp finishes 16 days before the fight and heading to vegas that early, or if that scene is real - it's just a urine test.

    Are you being deliberately obtuse?

    The point isn't "when the last test was done"; it's "when the last test could be done".

    The fact that the testers could randomly walk through the door at almost any time is a crucial part of the protocol; it discourages cheating as you have no idea of when they're coming. You might not get tested for weeks, or you might get tested every other day. If you're trying to cheat, there's a world of difference between knowing that you could be tested at any time and knowing for certain that you won't be.

    No. I am totally being unbias about this whole circus.

    Did you deliberately forget that Floyd's offer during mediation is 14-days cutoff?

    Don't kid yourself that this new information has "Totally" no bearing. Btw, I'm not thick not to comprehend the whole point wat random means. I'm just saying that this information is a valid item that can be put in discussion.

    I think the point is more of how they continued testing urine past that point, but not blood.


    In other words, they felt it was still necessary to test urine, but not blood.

    Which in turn means the importance of the blood issue is being overplayed and there is no way to cycle it through quickly enough without it showing up post-fight.

    And if Pac agrees to blood testing up to 14 days and unlimited urine testing, (and I don't think he ever had a problem with urine the first time around) then there shouldn't be any issue in making the fight. And that fans on both sides should calm down already.
