So I talked to a doctor about blood testing...

I think that's the gist of the current situation. A big amount of dick waving. But the facts remain that it was the Mayweathers who brought this **** up. It's a sign of insecurity. It might have been a psychological ploy on their part to begin with - cheapening your opponent is nothing new - but then to follow through with it in regards to the persistent insistance on stringent testing shows nothing more than cowardice, especially when considering the fact that both fighter, father and trainer has said how easily they could and would beat Pac in the ring.

 

As far as what this doctor you consulted told you, if Pacquiao is taking performance enhancers, he's got good reason to not want blood testing........

......and as for the hair issue taking two weeks?
Who cares how long it takes, as long as the results come up accurate.

The current testing in Nevada which only is urine testing takes over a week for the commision to make public anyway.

 

can someone tell me the difference between taking a blood sample 24 hours before a fight and 24 hours AFTER a fight? Its the same f'n blood..

 

I can tell you that the difference between blood thirty days before the fight and then after and random blood leading all the way up to the fight is the difference between half assing it and doing it right.

 

That is'nt the point in this controversy........there is probably no difference in the question you ask......the day before or the day after would likely yield the same results.

The controversy here however is that the Mayweather side wants blood testing to be open from the sign of the fight to at least a few days before the fight....and they want it to be random, meaning unanounced.

Neither Pacquiao or Mayweather would know when they would knock on their door to ask for a blood sample.

.....by doing it randomly, the fighter would not be able to strategize and set a timetable to cycle the performance enhancers out of their system.


Pacquiao does'nt want any testing 30 days before a fight, and it is said that a fighter could go on certain performance enhancers and or PED's on the first day of that 30 day period, and then stop it at a certain day before they actually fight so that when they test the fighter for it the day after, it no longer shows up in their system.

The way Mayweather wants it, they could come knocking at the door say 8-10 days before the fight and actually ask Pacquiao for a blood sample when the he still has the performance enhancer in his system.
......it is absolutely the correct way to catch cheats.

 

You guys should go drown your ******ed selves in your own blood.

 

Sorry bro, but at the very least, there needs to be an attempt to legitamize boxing and make it a fair playing field for all.thumbsup

 

The same can be said of urine samples. Once again, random testing, regardless of the body fluid sample, is the best method for catching PED cheaters. You have to catch them unaware & sloppy.

How was Mosley caught? If not Mosley through random urine testing, wasn't James Toney caught with a post-fight urine test?

 

There is no difference, however that unfortunately is not the sticking point, all though pac fans will have us believe it is.

The sticking point is PAC damn right refusal to give any BLOOD during Training camp. This is what is holding up negotiations.

He only wants to give on at the press conference and then after the fight.

You may ask why is this unreasonable?

Well because he has a 30 day window to use an illegal substance and avoid detection by timing it so it wont show up on the last scheduled drug test.

Now if he a random test within that 30 day period. He is unable to time that window. Therefore is more than likely less likely to cheat.

This is more about prevention than detection from the mayweather camp.

They feel he is on something, so they want to test properly so he cant enter the ring with an advantage.

There is the story in full.:hi:

 

Wow that's real noble of you man. You seriously cared about that before all of this recent drama, I'm sure?

And I'm sure that was Floyd's intention too: to make boxing a safe playing field for all. That's why he advocated these same testing procedures in his 40 other fights.

 

Err, he wasn't?

 

Seriously? Did he just admit to it randomly?
edit: Ah, checked it out. He admitted to it when it was clear that a list of Balco clients was close to breaking the news.

 

:good

 

He admitted to have taken something from BALCO that he thought was vitamins or legal supplements of some type after Victor Conte said he was on EPO for the second Oscar fight. You know....The Barry Bonds defense.:yep
