    Would you want to make a guy who's considered larger than life in his nation do something he doesn't want to do while you're in his country and has his heavily armed bodyguards?

    Testing is testing... Be it conducted by USADA or any other WADA accredited tester.

    Isn't this the reason why Floyd didn't want NSAC to do the testing in the first place? :lol:

    That's the testers problem. They can do it if they will really enforce their testing standards, USADA or any other testing org/company.

    Yes real Independent ! Travis Tygart worked for the corrupt USOC against the man that exposed them. Curriculum Vitae:


    Travis T. Tygart joined USADA in October 2002 as Director of Legal Affairs.

    In October 2004, he became Senior Managing Director and General Counsel, overseeing all legal and communication matters for USADA, including the prosecution of alleged doping offenses in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

    Tygart was involved with drafting the USADA Protocol for Olympic Movement Testing and the World Anti-Doping Agency's Code, the core document that provides a framework for anti-doping policies, rules, and regulations within sport organizations and among public authorities.

    He served as the legal expert for the WADA Independent Observer Team at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England and was a USADA representative at the 2003 World Conference on Doping in Sport in Copenhagen, Denmark. Tygart also has been a participant at the Council of Europe, the Association of National Anti-Doping Agencies and was a presenter at the 2003 WADA Out-of-Competition (OOC) Symposium.

    He is a frequent invited speaker at sports conferences, including Play the Game in Copenhagen, the Harvard and Stanford Sports Law Conferences, the National Institute for Sports Law, and the American Bar Association Entertainment and Sports Law Forum.

    Tygart currently serves on the board of advisors for the Taylor Hooton Foundation, the Society for Major League Baseball (MLB) Strength and Conditioning Coaches, and the House Government Reform Committee's Zero Tolerance Roundtable.

    Prior to joining USADA, Tygart was an associate in the sports law practice group at Holme, Roberts and Owen, LLP (HRO). While at HRO, Tygart worked with individual athletes and several sport entities, including the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), USA Basketball, USA Swimming, USA Volleyball, the Pro Rodeo Cowboys' Association, and the Mountain West Conference.

    Originally from Jacksonville, Fla., Tygart graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor's degree in philosophy and earned his

    J.D. from Southern Methodist University in 1999, graduating Order of the Coif. He has published law review articles addressing anti-doping issues, the antitrust implications for professional sports, and Title IX's impact on high school athletics.

    From Marley Jul 11,2011

    We absolutely are motivated to find the truth and do the right thing in every case. Our obligation is to protect clean athletes, nothing less and nothing more.—UNITED STATES ANTI-DOPING AGENCY public statement

    Travis Tygart, head of the US Anti-Doping Agency, presents himself as a Dudley Do-Right type, a man on a mission to clean up the rampant illegal drug cheating in big time sports.

    To a lesser extent, Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants you to think that he is an athlete who willingly has joined the anti drug abuse crusade.

    Both the lawyer and the undefeated right are clearly right that drug cheating is pervasive in sports, especially those which involve massive amounts of money.

    (Editor’s Note: I’ve reached out to Tygart by phone and email but he is out of his Colorado Springs office until July 18 so perhaps he is on vacation. I do hope to get his views.)

    Only a blind and deaf person would argue otherwise. The Barry Bonds legal drama lingers on, the only question now being will he get a small amount of Club Fed jail time.

    In Washington, baseball pitching superstar Roger Clemens is on trial in a case involving his alleged use of steroids.

    That sleazy Canadian doctor who was supplying various well-known jocks with banned drugs has taken a guilty plea in his case.

    Lance Armstrong abandoned his glorious cycling career with the drug posse hot on his heels. Current cycling superstar Albert Contador is beset by similar allegations and continuing probes.

    In boxing, BALCO bossman Victor Conte is a steady presence. Formerly the guy aiding and abetting Sugar Shane Mosley to load himself up with banned drugs to enhance his boxing skills, Conte is now a respected conditioning/nutrition adviser to world champions Nonito Donaire Jr. and Andre Ward, among others.

    Which brings us around to Saturday night, when I spoke to riverboat gambler and Manny Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum about his sudden statement of the day before.

    Arum proclaimed that Team Pacquiao will accept a Mayweather bout with fully random blood testing but only if it is handled by the world governing body, WADA, and not by Tygart’s USA only organization.

    “We don’t accept the USADA handling it,” Arum told me. “We do accept the prestigious, well-respected WADA. On those terms, Pacquiao will submit to whatever (blood) testing is required so we can make the big fight.”

    Makes sense to me. WADA is the world body and both Mayweather and Pacquiao have multiple world championship histories.

    It’s no insult to USADA, really, with American Mayweather fighting Filipino Pacquiao. It’s not something absurd and outlandish such as Arum proposing a drug testing agency from Pacman’s homeland handle the testing.

    Advertisement

    I’ve no doubt the Nevada commission would permit the Mayweather and Pacquiao to make a contract specifying, chapter and verse, what the required testing would be, when it could take place, yada, yada, yada.

    Nevada badly wants and sorely needs the revenue such a boxing bonanza brings to Las Vegas' tourist service economy. I see no NSAC impediment especially where Tygart was like a bull in a china shop in his decidedly negative testimony before the state board on June 9, 2010. Tygart didn't ruffle Nevada feathers, he torched them.

    If Mayweather really wants to fight Pacman, then he will agree to WADA and Tygart will also support this, if only to advance Tygart’s crusade.

    If Mayweather doesn’t accept WADA, then it can finally be said that he really is ducking the super fight.

    I understand Tygart might camping in Yellowstone Park right now, but the silence from the “Money” camp is deafening so far.

    Talk up, Floyd, talk up.

    On behalf of Pacquiao, Arum’s opened the door. Will you walk through it or slam it shut.

    Borrowing from the goofy nickname of the Mayweather-De La Hoya bout, “the world awaits.”

    Menawhile, herewith the Mission Statement of USADA, verbatim:

    “To be the guardian of the values and life lessons learned through true sport. We hold the public trust to:

    Preserve the Integrity of Competition — We preserve the value and integrity of athletic competition through just initiatives that prevent, deter and detect violations of true sport.

    Inspire True Sport — We inspire present and future generations of U.S. athletes through initiatives that impart the core principles of true sport — fair play, respect for one’s competitor and respect for the fundamental fairness of competition.

    Protect the Rights of U.S. Athletes — We protect the right of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes to compete healthy and clean — to achieve their own personal victories as a result of unwavering commitment and hard work — to be celebrated as true heroes.”

    I have a brilliant idea.

    Why doesn't the Philippine Sports Commission (the WADA accredited anti-Doping agency in the Philippines) handle Pac's random testing while he's in training in Baguio, then let USADA random test him while training in Los Angeles?

    Since many here are so adament that the local WADA agencies should be the ones used. :hey
