Amir Khan: "We should all Agree with Floyd".

Go check VADA and USADA website...**** your 3rd party article man..go to the source themselves.:deal

 

Its obvious that the testing at the moment isnt good enough, I mean Peterson has admitted that he had taken these testosterone capsules before the last fight, its a disgrace that the fight took place and nothing was detected, if this was the Olympics and an athlete admitted juicing and was not detected everyone would be going crazy.

 

Here's the guy from the USADA talking about how they check for testosterone in the urine.

Peterson's method of using would have bypassed even USADA's protocals. Scary, isn't it? Thank God it was VADA doing the tests, else noone would ever have found out.

 

:good
SDdude is on my ignore list, So I don't know.

 

how is that hate? i'm serious.

 

If the commissions can agree on a testing method that all fighters are to be put through it's not a bad idea. Will cost a lot. Those involved with the sport maybe don't want it. We all know there's a lot of underhanded things going on. They start doing this who knows how many fighters start getting banned. A level playing field is needed.

 

maxboxing = toprank shills

anything to discredit floyds movement i guess.

 

That happens reasonably often in sports with serious testing regimes.

The sport with the toughest regime by far is professional cycling. They get tested in competition on a much more regular basis and more importantly they get tested out of competition all year round. For out of competition testing they have to notify the authorities of their whereabouts eery day of the year. In addition they are subjected to extra blood tests to compile a biological passport, which is then monitored for suspicious changes in blood values, meaning that they can caught even without a particular substance showing up.

Even with all that, many riders evade being caught by the testing and are then caught when someone squeals on them or the cops raid a team or a doctor's surgery. Cutting edge doping is ahead of even the best testers.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s a whole scientific doping infrastructure was built in and around cycling and some other sports which mostly involve speed, power, endurance etc (doping was widespread before then but was more amateurish). Soon those same methods and often those very same doctors were turning up everywhere in the sports world where there's money to be made. Cycling, swiming, track and field, weightlifting and the like are relatively poor sports and because a series of scandals forced them to adopt relatively strong anti-doping measures you run a higher risk of getting caught.

Boxing is the wild west when it comes to dope testing. There's no world governing body to hand out set bans or keep track of athletes, no year round out of competition testing, no biological passport, nothing. Unless two fighters voluntarily agree random testing for a few months, fighters will only ever get in competition testing - and you have to be an absolute moron to get caught in a test you know is coming. Worse still, it is actively against the interests of the people controlling the shows for a fighter to get caught because it results in huge monetary losses.

 

Even more of a reason for boxing authorities to get together and set out a testing program that everyone uses, if expense is a problem then go with World title fights only.

Mayweather deserves credit for bringing the subject to the table and making more boxers stand up and demand stronger testing, without such a high profile boxer coming forward Peterson would have never been detected.

 

Why was Pacquiao too afraid of needles to take random blood tests?

 

For those saying this is too expensive. Look at what Montoya wrote in one of his recent articles,
"The cost for “Mayweather Testing” is between $90,000 and $100,000 per fight and includes both fighters."

"VADA charges somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000 per fight vs. USADA’s rumored $90-$100,000 per fight which is for both fighters. Why the price difference? Who knows? USADA’s media department never replied."

EXTREMELY informative about PED's. Montoya is about the only writer right now in boxing tackling this issue. Kudos to him and Maxboxing.

 

Peterson's cheating was discovered by testing his URINE.


That has never been an issue for Pac.

 

So how have USADA caught ST users in the past? :scaredas:

 

dudes over at max boxing are doing everything in their power to discredit Floyd and deflect from the Pacquiao situation. It's all it is. Top Rank shills really.
