    Floyd isn't making ANY personal demands of testing is what Im trying to tell you. Testing would be solely administered by the USADA the organization responsible for testing ALL American Olympians so you saying "what Floyd is asking for is way above and beyond Olympic testing" is completely baseless

    USADA has hardly tested any single athlete 5-6 blood tests let alone in a 3 months span. The IOC doesn't even do that, not even the french ALFD, wait nevermind I;m sure the french have harrased Armstrong as much in 1 week.

    lets see some links for that then? And after that show me what exactly it is that the USADA is demanding of Floyd and Manny!? LOL
     
  5. Just research this issue for yourself ffs. It differs for every Olympics, and the IOC HAS been talking tough about their controls for Beijing. But they do that every Olympics. What Manny has already agreed to, but is not enough for Floyd, is more than the IOC has ever targeted the average Olympic athlete.

    all you did was repeat what he said dude, explain??? First things first the IOC IS NOT a testing commission the USADA IS lol so lets get that out of the way. You can't make these stupid statements without backing them guy, you just can't. As I explained before the USADA is the official anti-doping agency for Olympic, Pan American and Paralympic sporting events in the United States. They are in charge of testing ALL Team USA athletes, OLYMPIC BOXERS INCLUDED. Please before making these ridculous statements research what you are saying. And if you would continue to insist, please give me a link that would in anyway justify this ridiculous idea that "Manny would be tested more than any Olympic athlete" as you so ignorantly put it. Please do that for me lol :patsch:patsch:patsch
     
  8. Well you can read about how much they have been tested in many places, and it's slightly complicated. Athletes are obviously tested by different bodies, national bodies for internal testing and the OIC/WADA at the Olympics. As I stated "Olympic Style Testing" is a pretty meaningless term and would require some definition. I would assume on a common sense level that it relates to how Olympic athletes are tested by IOC's official bodies, i.e. The World Anti Doping Agency. Obviously there are other channels of testing applied to athletes - domestic ones- but that is not obvious in the term "Olympic Style Testing". Please refrain from breaking the server with shame smiles because you are too simple to really understand the breadth of what's involved. As for the U.S. anti-doping controls, I honestly dont know how vigorously they are targeted, as I am not an American. But I do know how it works in my country and what the level of technology in anti-doping in general is. I have a family member who is involved in professional cycling which is targeted far more than any other sport, and I can tell you for a fact that what Floyd is trying to commission here, is about on the level of what cyclists go through and much more than Olympians in the past have gone through - which is **** all, btw. Do your own research about how much US Olympians are being tested, but you'll shock me if turns out to be anywhere near the level of what Floyd is trying to do here.

    Is he a pro tour rider or continental? Being a cyclists is hard stuff. :good
     
  10. AUstralian, was a pro tour rider back in 03/04 for one of the European teams. been in two TDF's. Aiming for Beijing. Yeah its ****ing brutal sport. Seeing these dudes flying up hills at like 90km ph is pretty insane.

    But even with what these dudes do, and what everybody knows about them, Pro boxing seems to me must be as dirty as anything when it comes to doping. I would be surprised if any of the top fighters are clean. It is the ideal sport for drugs. Competition is infrequent. Top fighters often sit around, doing nothing for long periods of time then do intensive training for a few months before a fight. Guys who are supposed to fight at 140 walk around at 180. This is nothing against PAC as there is no more evidence against him than there is Floyd, but just as a general observation.

    Damn, that's legit. Getting to a TdF is an accomplishment in itself. Good luck in China.
