    All professional contact sports should be subject to the highest standard of PED testing. It's common sense. The reason it isn't is because it's too expensive and impractical to employ across the board.

    However, high grossing title fights can easily pay for this safeguard, so there's no reason it shouldn't be implemented at the higher echelons of contact sports.

    Floyd is obviously pursuing it for his own agenda, but motives aside, there's nothing wrong with what he's asking for. Within a number of years it will be mandatory, although probably only after someone dies at the hands of a steroid abusing fighter.

    While I agree with you, nobody has asked for anything even remotely resembling the highest standard of testing. That would absolutely have to include testing while out of competition.

    Fact is, the NSAC controls local anti-doping regulation if any fight between Manny and Floyd were to take place in Las Vegas, not the USADA, not WADA and certainly not the Mayweathers. This is were Manny's advisors really screwed-up, they should have dismissed the Mayweather's claims at the outset and told them to go to the NSAC if they were sincere about changing anti-doping policy.

    Also OSDT is random all-year round not just for 10 weeks as Floyd & crackhead family are demanding :bbb

    "Catch weight" You mean like the fight with Floyd vs JMM? Catch weights have and always will be a part of boxing. The weight penalty was as stupid as the accusations and demands Floyd used to kill the fight. And I'm sure that there would be no weight penalty had there been no accusations and special blood test requiremnts from Floyd.
