Shane Mosley Accused of Doping

Hematocrit of 52.2 = doping. No question about it -- if that's what the test said, he without a shred of doubt used EPO.

 

Thank you. As much as I like Shane Mosley, lets try to be objective about the info in the article...that is if the test results came back as stated of course.

 

Blood doping clearly didn't work for him then. He was **** against Oscar and was schooled, no matter what the judges say.

 

And if you ask me, it's not a losing battle -- it's already lost. Any million-dollar sport that benefits from dopin, has athletes using doping. Boxing is particularly vulnerable since every single match is basically an exhbition between two parties brought toether by a promoter -- there is no worldwide organization with authority to combat this.

 

Are you sure you were watching the right fight?Mosley was never schooled by De La Hoya, not in either fight.It is a shame, no matter what happens now, Mosley's name is sullied. He is one of my favorite fighters, but with that said GO COTTO!

 

His name is in the Balco books... Why would his name even be in that office in San Francisco. No doubt in my mind that he took something illegal. Anyone who is tied to this lab is, in no doubt, down right cheating. No other way to sugar coat anything. No exuses, no nothing. Why in the hell was he able to continue boxing until this was resolved? Because time is money in boxing, some one pushed this under the rug. Until that no longer happens, the doping will continue because future fighters will think they can get away with it.

I am pissed the $uck off. I had no idea he was implicated until this very moment.. Now, after I bought my tickets wish Cotto was fighting someone else. $uck Mosley, his fans and anyone who backs him.

 

I heard this **** back when the Balco news broke, but then it dissapeared. Unlike everyone else who was implicated, they could never prove anything against Mosley. maybe he did it, maybe he didn't. If he did do it i'm glad he stopped because even though he beat DLH that fight, he didn't look nearly as good as teh first fight when he would have been clean, and he looked shitty the next few fights as well, got too bulky. He's one of my favorite boxers so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now, but hell, I gurantee you there were alot more boxers doing this **** over the years we never found out about. RJJ tested positive after a fight and nothing was ever made of it.

 

Erratic, I am not even going to bother about these allegations as much as I did for Holyfield's, but it doesn't surprise me that a strong Cotto supporter starts a thread with this issue... First, Shane is not as fast as he was, now he is on dope for that reduced hand speed... With all due respect that you ought to know I have for you ( and 4 Shilpa), get outa here! What I really wanted to confirm is if Shane was in fact stripped of the WBC interim title or not, I am still not getting the confirmation on the issue anywhere else but in a thread started here in ESB...

why is it opponents feel they need to dope up to fight Oscar?

 

I think it's highly possible that SHane was doing it, I doubt Oscar will say anything now about considering Mosely is now part of Golden Boy, but I am sure bewteen the two of them they really knew who should have won that fight and that Mosley was juicing. This is bad timing for this to come out so close to the Cotto fight though.

 

I was thinking the same thing. THe only thing I can think of is what is at stake.... the stakes are higher for most every fighter against Oscar. He's a well known guy and the money is good. I think these guys come in thinking they need to come in at their best in order to beat him, so they are willing to do everything possible to get there. I think this is more true when he was a bigger threat at 147lbs and below.

 

Please, If Mosley was on steroids in the second fight, I'm pretty sure he has never told anyone about that especially not to De La Hoya. Another thing is, Shane truly believes he won that fight and there's nothing wrong with that. Oscar didn't get robbed. It was a close fight that could've gone either way.

 

Thanks, Tito Time, it's confirmed... My apologies to the fella who started this thread but I am not about to apologize to Erratic since I didn't attack him or anything of that sort, but there are threads starting with the same issue I brought up as well - 6 weeks for Fast&Furious in MSG and now this? - It's a psychological blow cause you fear Mosley's handspeed and talent will hurt Cotto's chances, no doubts about it ( As much as Iggy's supporters feel threatened for their fighter)! Talk the talk but will you walk the walk?

 

After some initial scepticism, I think it is at least possible that mosely is linked to this scandle, in saying that what I find really alarming is the timing of the allegations. Iv heard whispers in the past of mosley being linked to performance enhancement, but it wasn't so publicized with such vigor . I wonder if it's a built in excuss prior to the fight for the cotto base, because its been sitting on the table for a few years now, If he wins people are just going to say he was juiced up. This campaign is a no win situation for the sport and for shane mosley.
