BBC: Drug testing in Boxing us useless - Conte

Ah im gutted roy was on roids. I really liked him. Same as manny, i hope hes a bull**** and hes just really good.

Anyone know if mosley was for certain?? hes another il be gutted about.

 

RJJ wasn't on roids, androstenedione was available in products over the counter back then and was in Ripped Fuel.

 

Shane is 100% certain. He admitted that he was on EPO for the Hoya fight, although he claims he didn't know it was illegal. Never done "roids" per se, but a different kind of PED.

 

According to Conte, Mosley was on EPO as well as a whole cocktail of steroids. Mosley admitted in his grand jury testimony to taking the clear. So yeah, Mosley did do roids.

 

Good idea to put a bet on Chambers.... he is a massive outsider but this will boost his chances a bit.

 

No there not... They want to win. There not takin nothin the fbi is on his ass. So there watching him and everybody he works with. Then on top of that you heard what they said about Roy and Shane and everybody knows what Pac is doing NOBODY CARES!!!!!!! Not until the Media makes a big deal about it. People want to see Floyd knocked out so bad they dont care if PAC is CHEATING

 

conte has a grudge on pac..

pac didnt accept his offer of buying drugs on him and still pac is stronger than those who use his products..

or maybe he just dont know how to make bullet proof drugs..it can only be made in the philippines

 

GOOD FIND TO THE THREAD STARTER...Article basically doesn't TAKE FLOYD'S WORDS AND SWITCH THEM AROUND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES ON ESB...gives a good explanation as to WHY THE DEMAND IS BEING MADE....well written with little bias!

 

Fact is floyd doenst want to fight pac so he demanded the drug test..why are lot of fighters willing to fight pac while floyd dont??

 

I've read a few interviews by Conte on this subject and they all make pretty depressing reading.

He basically says that unless you test a boxer randomly and as often as you like, you're not going to catch someone cheating.

From what I understand, if a boxer he was working with agreed to be tested 14 days before the fight and immediately after the fight, it wouldn't matter because there's no way he'd be caught.

If you have an idea when the test is coming, it's an IQ test and you'd have to be "an idiot" to get caught.

Although Conte is a scumbag, he undoubtedly knows what he's talking about. It sounds like the only way to be sure is unlimited random tests.

 

ward and chambers are well aware of wht's legal and the risk of being involved with this man.
such a rat got caught out and is now ratting out the boxers.

In a weird way though hopefully this will be beneficary to boxing and the quicker it gets sorted the better because if it does get sorted out properly, in fifty years when people are looking back and comparing fighters of this era they will be saying that this was the black era for boxing.
undetected rampant drug use with no attempt to catch the users.

Mayweather was right when he wanted this blood test so the whole world would know he's clean and pacman of couse.

so if he wins(which i think he will, but different matter altogether.) nobody will question his victory in a strange and seedy era in boxing.(not just drug tests, alphabet straps,cherry picking, awful decisions trinidad and margaritos tape.)

 

An athletes bread and butter is SHOWING HE IS CLEAN....WHAT BETTER WAY THAN UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES YOU CLEARLY DIDN'T WANT TO TEST BUT SWALLOWED YOUR PRIDE AND TOOK THEM ANYWAYS...THAN NOBODY CAN EVER REALLY DOUBT YOU...:good

 

:good

 

This is true. I cant understand how someone can side with Pac on this. :huh

 

Conveniently these floydettes are forgetting a key quote from conte:

"Pacquiao shouldnt have been targeted the way he was".

Conte basically reiterated what Pacquiao himself has said, if theres gonna be a chance in drug testing, let it be for boxing and not 1 guy being witch hunted.
