Most surprised: Cristian Mijares, Nonito Donaire, Roman Gonzalez, Ivan Calderon, Miguel Cotto Least surprised: Wladimir Klitschko, Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez, Seth Mitchell (and most heavyweights)
Really? They seem like prime candidates to me. Ward worked with Victor Conte for crying out loud. So did Donaire.
this is the list of ped user disgraces from boxing: Sven Warddke Nonito Donaire Zab Judah they are all working with peds users activist Victor Conte.
Floyd Mayweather -Started the voluntary of himself and opponents in 2010. Mosley/Ortiz/Cotto Nonito Donaire -Took it to a new level. Voluntary testing year round even when not in training. Miguel Cotto -Submitted himself to drug testing vs. Mayweather Victor Ortiz -Submitted himself to drug testing vs. Mayweather Andre Ward -Olympian with same conditioning coach as Donaire of Conte. Also: Malignaggi for his opinions on PED's when the Pacquiao questions were at their thickest. Froch for a RING interview I read where he supported Mayweathers' demands for additional testing vs. Pacquiao and casually expressed his concerns of PED use in America particularly.
I think well over half of boxers are on PED's for the majority of their career, and the ratio of usage one could imagine would rise to its highest at the "world class" level. If I had a gun to my head by a genie and had to say over or under 50% of boxers on PED's, I would confidently and immediately pick over.
Wait, are you trying to say that working with Victor Conte makes you less likely to be using PEDs? Ward's a prime candidate if ever I saw one. Former Olympian, fitness freak, indomitable drive to be and remain the best. If he's not on some form of PED's I'll eat my hat.
but not olympic style testing,so it's all bull**** he's working with Conte,the guy who admitted he run doping programs for braking olympic records.does Marion Jones or Tim Montgomery names mean anything to you?how about Shane Mosley or Andre Berto?all Victor Conte's clients,all cheating disgraces not olympic style test,irrelevant not olympic style test,irrelevant the biggest cheat from all the above.here is Victor Conte telling how he helped Ward to take his first belt. 0:30 [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tdy2GelJBqk[/ame]
yes,he gets tested year round by Victor Conte's vada testing.if he ever came out positive Conte will hide it and invent some other SNAC "supplements" which won't came out when tested for peds.
I half expected some PED accusations against Martinez after he destroyed Chavez. It's usually the first thing levelled against a fighter by fans who's favorite boxer has had his ass handed to him these days. Some guys are just genetically different. Sergio, JMM etc. Just marvelous athletes who've taken care of themselves and thus can keep performing at a high level at their age.
