Random I can understand, but 18 days before the fight? Not only that, but the article I linked to indicates that the largest time gap between tests was in the time period preceding the actual fight. I dunno, maybe I'm mistaken in thinking that this was not pre-planned, but that's a helluva time gap for "random". Not only that, if this is really about keeping the sport clean, why isn't he insisting on making sure that any fighter he fights must have been subjected to random testing for at least one year before any of May's scheduled fights? The man has been in the sport long enough to know that a longer period of random testing helps to prevent athletes from merely cycling PED's out of the blood. Insisting on testing only during the period between the time of contract and fight night does very little to guarantee the fighters are clean considering that the fighters at this level have means beat tests.
If Pacquiao takes the test, passes and beats Floyd bad like he's on something but "OSDT" says he isn't, Floyd will definetly look worse enough where he will disappear like Hamed.
Floyd takes away his biggest excuse to use if he loses, that Pac is on something. If he loses bad, I wonder what other excuse he will have. Maybe Pac waited too long to agree to the test.
This is what I've been saying for a while, too. To be at its most effective, complete random testing needs to happen all year round. Not just within a training camp.
AND....to fighters on all levels. Not just for guys who fight on HBO, SHO, or ESPN. Gotta be uniform to be real.
Absolutely. Floyd can really do a lot to make things like this happen. Of course, it'd help if the man didn't take such long vacations, removing himself from exposure from testing for a year at a time.
what if ***** pac took the test? right......because floyd knew he was gonna refuse...funny pac is the only one refusing it tho.
Integrity and the Pretty Boy Floyd shouldn't be used together unless you're saying he has none. He's trapped himself in his delusions and machinations. He deserves nothing less... :hat

Honestly I could give a rat's ass about whether he maintains this drug testing crusade or not. I just wanna see the fight. If he wants drug testing in all his fights from now on, then its his decision. More stringent drug testing in boxing is a good thing and I honestly don't care what his reasons are for why he wants it. Kind of like feeding the poor. Is he doing it because it helps his image or does he do it because he really cares about helping people? WHO GIVES A DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because when its all said and done, IT'S A GOOD THING!
