    this is the day and age we live in.

    only way we can stop the cheats cheating.

    i'd rather them go through this small inconvinience than watch an unfair fight.

    So im assuming that from now on you will only watch a fight if the fighters have been submitted to random drug testing?

    How would it be a fair fight if the drug testing causes somebody to not make weight and then have to lose it in a few hours?

    They asked for Urine not Blood. From my understanding they could have waited until mosley was ready to give a sample but they would just have to follow him around. They this with Mayweather when he was dehydrated.

    Urine requires you to be hydrated.

    Which means you have to drink....

    Which means you may be drinking water you wouldn't want to drink, because you're trying to make weight...

    Get it?

    as far as i know, they had 4-5 blood tests and 8 urine tests in a 4 month period.

    it's not going to kill them. :lol:

    Yep. Boxers push their bodies to the limit during training, more than any other athletes I can think of. Preparation is most critical in this sport, both physical and mental, and to have these ***gots be able to show up at any time, as many times as they please, even forcing themselves into a fighter's home for an entire evening, is detrimental to that no doubt. A set number of tests within a set timeframe is the best way to go.

    random testing is what makes the program effective. the cheats never know when USADA are coming.

    like i said...would you rather take a couple inconvinient tests or step in the ring with someone juicing?

    easy choice.

    At the weighing shane had no problem making weight as did floyd. They looked both in tip top shape. Stop crying over nothing.

    It's not like they made them do it before or during a work out or anything. Seriously, go get some blood samples taken, it's not gonna affect you more than an hour or two... these guys have the whole evening and night to recuperate. It's not a big deal.

    I'm surprised Shane was struggling to make weight. I thought he'd be making the weight comfortably.

    We all know Floyd doesn't give a **** about testing, hes' just scared of Manny Pacquiao and he's trying to cover his ass.

    C'MON now, use your f*****g common sense..... All athletes have to train hard to be in top shape in their respective sports!!!!! NO WAY or excuses around that!!! We are talking about pro/olympic sports in here, not ur usual neighborhood cricket league, a'ight?? Stop complaining about it and let 'em do it 4 the better of the sport. PROPS TO THESE FINE ATHLETES FOR DOING WHAT'S RIGHT.... & PROVING IT CAN BE DONE!! I guess some ppl will always cry foul as long as their favorite fighters keep on cheating and making ludicrous excuses about it.... TIME TO STOP CRYING AND MAN-UP FOR A LOT OF PPL IN HERE!!!
