    Did Tarver really fail the test or did Al pay someone off to make it look like he did? Is Tarver being used as a pawn in a bigger game to make it look like Al's PED agency of choice USADA is above board and that they do actually catch boxers who cheat? Very convenient timing given the PED controversy surrounding Al's golden goose Floyd. And who better to offer as a sacrificial lamb than a 46 year old Tarver who has already been popped for cheating and is way past his sell by date? :think

    Yeah, it wasn't USADA who caught John Molina either after the Broner fight

    Yes I heard that. Do you know who it was that caught him?

    I could detect synthetic Testosterone with the $9.99 drug test they sell at CVS!:D

    Believe it was local commission. :conf

    Although knowing Haymon's love for journeyman Broner, he probably makes sure all Broner's opponents actually take a legit test so they have less chance to shatter Broner's glass

    I'm strongly considering entering a local tough man compitition. Does anybody know which PEDS would be most effective to help ensure victory?

    He must be talking about Tarver then. So USADA aren't the ones who popped Tarver then? If so, bang goes my theory. :fire

    Would be interested in seeing Cunningham try suing him like he claimed. Civil/criminal whatever see if it has any traction and make the consequences for cheats more severe perhaps that would work as a deterrent.
