The history of alex ariza

Willing to do what? He has NEVER been willing to engage in any type of testing where he did not know when it would begin or end. Who can really say who is on what, without clear evidence? But, avoiding truly randomized testing at all costs....is suspicious, IMO. As someone mentioned, he could do fully randomized testing prior to ANY of his fights--not just against Floyd--and it would close everyone's mouths on the whole matter...including Floyd's. And, it would further support the need for this type of testing to be implemented in boxing, if its two biggest stars are willing to do it. I see nothing but good things coming from something like that.

 

I respect your points. The simple fact is...Manny did not agree to Floyd's final revision to his original demand (which was fully randomized testing), in January. We know that...nothing to debate there. He did not want to do it two weeks out from the fight. He waited 6 months then "agrees" to a condition he KNEW was no longer available. Nothing to debate here either. Manny's final revision to his acceptance of the (unavailable) 14 day offer, was a 7 DAY offer. Again...FACT. Nowhere, has he said ANYTHING about participating in the testing without a cutoff. However, it is obvious he sees the importance of better testing methods in general, as he stated such in a video he released, which was quickly pulled down. He just can't bring himself to go all the way, it seems.

There's randomness determined by the testing organization. And there's randomness determined by the recipient of those tests. Which is a more effective deterrent? That's a rhetorical question, as you should already know the answer. In fact it seems, that letting the testers determine the cutoff might bode better for Manny, since they clearly don't have to draw blood close to the fight. But, the point is...THEY CAN. That's what it seems Manny is trying to CONTROL. Not a good look...when you say you are a clean athlete.

I'm not sure that cost is the issue either. I listened to the board meeting (which was open to the public) conducted by the NSAC a few months back, which Travis Tygart (USADA) also attended, and while he and their experts did not agree on the methods, I don't recall cost being an issue. Feel free to refresh my memory on that.

I don't think anyone is saying that the testing is 100% guaranteed to catch someone using banned substances. But, as you said it has the "potential" to do so....greater "potential" than exists at the moment, due to the approach more so than the actual tests being conducted. The fact that SSM beat the Commission testing, for who knows how long, shows the development (and innovation) of illegal substances is far ahead of the antiquated methods being used to detect them.

What I understand least about people's argument against it, is why does it matter who proposes it? If the Commission wants to do it, they will. If a fighter like Floyd wants the added insurance of requesting more stringent testing, for HIS OWN FIGHTS, and is willing to pay out of his fight purse to do so...so be it. If Manny wants the fight, with Floyd, he will take the test. It's simple. It has nothing to do with him being scared of Floyd. It is the test (in its truest form) he is clearly not interested in taking. And the reverse is true for Floyd....he is not interested in fighting Manny (or anyone else, at this point) without full randomized testing. But, that does not translate to a fear of Manny, IMO...only to those who find comfort in that belief. Both guys are tough as hell in that ring...in my view.

 

Personally unless anyone can prove he is taking 7000 cals per day this argument it pretty pointless.

People say things that that are not true every day and just because one person said he consumes that many calories per day it does not make it true.

Personally i think he consumes way less, and they are just trying to make a big deal out of it. Or maybe he just eats 4 large pizzas a day lol.

 

Wrong again, do the math!. like I said, Phelps actually eats 12,000 calories a day while training. not 10,000 so thats nearly twice as much food for a guy weighing only 50 lbs. more

Olympic level swimming in a warm pool does not necessarily burn more calories than 12 rounds of sparing either

 

WTF? So that is his logic?

Michael Phelps eats a whooping 12,000 calories a day during competition.

When you are sick you need to eat twice the caloric requirement in order not to lose muscle mass. When you are an athlete, you need more.


Stupid and dumbass.

Edit : Soemone posted this Phelps figure already but I can not be bothered reading through gunk of stupidity.

Why even bother asking this. It should be name one world class athlete you've helped with their nutrition.

 

And good article.

Suspision!!!

 

Steroids have been in play since the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Body builders have been heavy into HGH since the 1970s and today, drugs are way ahead of the testing. Some of the new PEDS can only be detected through a muscle biopsy!! Not urine...not blood....but here we got the Golden Boy and the Pretty Boy suddenly claiming they gonna clean up boxing; but if these two hypocrites really know that Pac is using, its only because they have been using themselves.

I hope Pac suits these two boys to the hilt and Margo should suit Oscar and the Ring Magazine for all the plaster of pares quotes they been making

 

As much as I was cool with the video that crap did throw me off.

 

*****s just activated the nutritionist mode. Keep fighting for your vacationing hero lol
