    He's talking about weakening himself during training - i.e. USADA inteferes with your training. And that's what they had a problem with.

    The testing will not bother any fighter in boxing who is tested. If the testing hasn't bothered other athletes who have been tested all over the world, why would it just bother fighters lol...!!!???

    They had no credibility in that argument to begin with. They might if they didn't flip flop on the issue 5 times already.

    Maybe because boxing is one of the most intense physically demanding sports in the world. And it's not even a standard protocol to have those tests in boxing.

    There's also a difference between getting blood tested and having some guys randomly come in whenever they want and follow you around, and won't leave you alone until they've taken your blood and ****. That's intrusive as hell - there are better ways to do it.

    But it's not part of the sport yet, it maybe in the future...the testing Mayweather and Mosley are using was written into the contract by Mayweather (as far as I know).

    I hope you believe that all fighters need to be blood tested first off. Second, until we have a full proof plan to test all fighters in boxing, this is a good way to make sure fighters aren't cheating... The word "intrusive" is the wrong word to use when random testing is being performed because both fighters were well aware that random testing would happen.

    Is 24/7 not intrusive? And from what I seen on the episode, they waited until training was finished.

    Not really.

    Pac is one of the chosen special.

    Mililiters of blood taken from Pac is like the effect of someone losing 2 liters of blood.

    I have no problem with USADA or random blood testing. I just understand when Roach says he doesn't want them interfering with training so close to the fight. In the end scheduled or random tests don't matter to me. Scheduled blood tests with random urine tests would have been perfectly reasonable.

    Everybody knows physically they don't do much (or shouldn't affec you much), and that's a fact.

    IT IS THE PSYCOLOGICAL EFFECTS.

    :goodI'm speaking about every elite athlete around the world who has been blood tested. I have never heard of an elite athlete complaining about blood testing affected their performance...
