Pacquiao agrees to independant drug testing.

Bonds was never tested like this. You can't even compare what the MLB did to this. MLB banned PED but did not begin testing its players until 2003.

For starter use a color people can actually read. Not all of us use the black background.

As for your post. Both are a business. USADA does nothing for free. Both are considered independent since they have no ties to either party.

 

And alot of people in the Olympics are still dirty in my opinion. WADA does the best they can, but it's a game of cat and mouse where the mouse is always one level of technology better. WADA still has to deal with the same competitive disadvantage every other testing org. does- that they have to wait and discover the substance first, and that more money always goes into the hands of people who create things that are undetectable. In order to reverse that paradigm at least somewhat, they would have to find enough money in their annual budget to actually create PED's before anyone else did and then develop a test for them- which opens up a whole other ethical ball of wax.

That's another post for another day, though. The point is this: WADA still hasn't gotten a positive HGH test out of any Olympic athlete. So, either there's nobody over the past few Olympics who's used it, or they can't catch them. Take your pick.

Whe this whole drug testing thingy is over, brace yourselves for some more bull**** demands fromthe Mayweather camp.

Me I prefer that Pac just fights Foreman next for his 8th division belt.

**** Mayweather.

 

Thats actually a pretty good point right there. Honestly, sometimes I wonder what the big deal is about the different agencies. Because if Pac is on something chances are the USADA isn't going to pick it up anyways.

 

That's the most ridiculus thing I have read all day. Manny's feelings shouldn't be able to dictate when a drug test is. The whole point to a random test is to catch them on cycle or before they can flush it out of their system or mask the test.

It's not about dirty politics it's about having a clean fight and prooving you are clean by taking the appropriate testing not a **** sample after the fight that anybody with any steroid knowledge could pass.

 

Yes they do the best they can and they are the best we have. WADA won't catch everything, but they get more than anyone else. Why not use the best?

 

Then why has this issue only been raised so seriously for this fight? Because Floyd's crack-head dad says so?

There's no changing in the statement needed. As you've seen from the post I was referring to, just because he's clean for this fight doesn't guarantee he was clean for his previous fights. So your saying he hasn't been convicted of anything by all this ridiculous speculation based on Predator's comments is really a wad of ****.

It's a completely unnecessary mark against a fighter, particularly one who up until this point has passed all his drug tests.


He's being held to a ridiculously high standard - we might as well accuse every boxer in the past of having taken steroids, and since we can't go back in time to test them, convict them of the crime anyway.

 

And Mayweather shouldn't be able to change the drug testing rules on the commentary of a simpleton like his father. But the whole team are terrified of their heavily protected pet-project 'Pretty Boy' slumping to defeat against a genuinely dangerous opponent.

 

And then there's the issue of what definition "

That's a real can of worms, right there.

 

Sorry about the font bro. Somehow that got messed up in the copy paste process.

You could be right about the USADA being a private company. I wasn't under the impression that they were. The fact that they charge money doesn't really prove anything. But its kinda a periferal point. I wasn't saying that this way that pac has suggested won't work I was just pointing out some differences. The main one being that they testng formate is dictated by the parties requesting it. Which means that they true validity of this testing again would come down to how compromising pac and his team are willing to be. There are also different degrees of independence. And there is a difference in the degree independence when you compare organizations that allow and athletes to dictate their policies versus ones that don't.

Also if someone could get back to me on the types of testing they do I woud be interested to know if they do in fact do Blood work. I would assume they do but I didnt see anything saying that they did.
