since the manny and tony fight will be in texas, and is also an in-house match, IF for some reason, they wanted to do olympic style drug testing up until the fight, how do you think the public would feel about that.....would they show manny love, or would they still hate on him and think its fake? thoughts?
I did a similar thread to this either before the Clottey bout, or just after the Margarito bout was announced. I believe they are missing out on valuable experience when it comes down to the drug testing. Especially if the Mayweather bout comes off in 2011. Mayweather has gone through near enough a full training camp using the testing...so if the bout does eventually come off, it will be a new, and maybe hard to adjust to experience for Pacquiao. I think they've missed out on the opportunity anyway...Mayweather may have the advantage leading upto the bout, depending on how Pacquiao copes with the testing.
Random 3 weeks before the fight is OSDT? The only random in that testing was choosing the weeks they want to stop testing! They probably put 4 pieces of paper with 1 to 4 numbers written in it then draw the paper that would tell them when to stop testing. It is still random!
Well I don't know every key detail...but as far as Mayweather and Mosley were concerned, they could have been tested at any point and any day leading upto the bout. It just happened that they chose not to test in the 18 days leading upto the bout, whether they were satisfied with the samples or what. But both boxers were unaware of whether they were going to be tested within those 18 days. Which still does make it random, and keeps the element of surprise.
Convenient! So it is USADA's fault. The same organiztion crying that the state's boxingscommissions protocol is not adequate. Considering that GBP, Mayweather, the *****s are trumping it as the hindrance to the first negotiations. Mayweather was happy not to be tested 18 days before the fight against a known cheat? If they have paranopia about Pac, does it not justify a more severe paranoia against mosley? If you were in his shoes, and if they stopped testing 18 days before the fight, would you not wonder and protests? Afterall, if they are not testing you, they might not be testing your opponent as well, a known cheater. It does not even have to be blood drug testing. A simple urine testing closer to the fight would suffice. But it never happened. It must be in the contract. ESB does not need proof to be in the contract. Crazier conjectures are accepted as gospel. But I assume you believe that "Cleaning up the sport" thing seriously.
In mathematics or statistical study, there is more to the term random. I don't want to debate with a person of your mental capacity. It is a useless thing and much worse degrading. Just join your fellow *****s in your idiot convention. You could have simple random, stratified, cluster sampling etc. etc.. Just look it up in any university level applied mathematics. But then again, you might be a pre-school drop=out pretending to know something like most *****s are.
USADA's fault? Well I don't know how Mayweather's head works, but he obviously trusts USADA's protocol enough to not protest after the bout. He must have been satisfied with the testing, and even if they weren't tested 18 days before the bout...the fact that they could have been tested in those days leading upto the bout would have stopped any boxer smart enough to not attempt to cheat. I'm not sure whether they continued with the urine testing or not...I think I did read somewhere that it did carry on until they left for the bout. Which would mean it was only the blood testing that stopped in the 18 days leading upto the bout. Honestly? At first I thought there was a chance that it could be true...but now? No.
