    labs have a system where the phlebotomist are told/made aware on how much to draw.

    with hgh, if it's going to be beneficial to the fighter on fight night, he should/would have take them 2-3 months or more prior.

    and with hgh, according to keith kizer (probly from advisement from a med scientist), a positive test would likely be thrown out of court when challenged because the testing procedure has not been peer reviewed and has not caught anybody. with usada's over 4000 test, they haven't caught anybody.

    Hopefully Arum will let his fighters take random tests in lieu of the Peterson debacle.

    I only had one bad blood drawing experience by a dumb B***h who doesn't care to have a job but even that wasn't that bad. a quarter size bruise.

    All i know is i every time i have blood drawn from my forearm it hurts for the rest of the day and i cant make a proper fist.

    im sure they can draw blood from other parts of the body though

    doesnt seem to be the case. have u read the shite hes been saying about berto & peterson? dude is unreal. he thinks they r innocent. berto could be innocent if it was contaminated, but, peterson come on now. he did the same shite with margarito when he had his wraps. "oh, margarito hes did nothing wrong. they have no proof." hes nuts

    Same. Maybe I'm just a wimp or maybe the nurses are just incompetent but I always end up with a soar arm which usually goes away in a day or two.

    BobTheBuilder is a master of layering excuses for this fight. If 50-50 ever falls through he still has:

    5) Floyd's trash talk is a matter of Filipino national security
    4) JMM Part XXVIII
    3) Busy looking for Pac-Mosley numbers
    2) Moon Stadium with $40M revenue
    1) They keep poking and poking and poking

    It sounds stupid, doctors have never had trouble finding my veins. But my mother they literally do poke around her arm until they can find a vein. Pacquiao shouldn't have any problem, he's an extreme athlete and his veins should be easy to find on his arm. Anyway the issue was Pac felt weak after taking an unscheduled blood test vs Morales a couple days before their fight and he didn't want a repeat being tested close to the fight vs Mayweather. He's agreed to whatever tests Mayweather wants, it's irrelevant now

    No...10 weeks until the day of the fight...they can stop 18 days or 12 days or 29 days or 14 days or 1 day or 8 days or 7 days or 25 days or 6 days or 3 days...u never never know...

    The point is that the fighter doesn't know when they stop.

    Mosley and Mayweather agreed without a cutoff...it just so happened they cutoff 18 days...fighters didn't know

    Oritz and Mayweather agreed without a cutoff...it just so happened they cutoff 11 days....fighters didn't know.

    how about when the contract is signed and money is wired to the body until the day after the fight.
