Who actually wants to see Pac-Mayweather now with drug-testing up to the fight?

Still ducking and dodging the question *******?

What if Floyd had walked out on negotiations because of the weight clause? You runnin away homo?

Tests for human growth hormone are being conducted at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

British rugby league player's positive a landmark in anti-doping

Almost 12 years after Willy Voet was caught with a car full of performance enhancing drugs at the Belgian border heading to the Tour de France, anti-doping authorities have successfully banned an athlete for one of the drugs found in Voet's possession: human growth hormone (hGH).

In a landmark case, UK Anti-Doping announced that rugby league player Terry Newton has accepted a two-year suspension after testing positive for hGH in an out-of-competition control carried out on November 24, 2009 . This is the first time an athlete has been sanctioned for hGH use.

HGH has long been used by athletes to help in recovery and to aide in muscle growth. It has been on the World anti-doping Agency's (WADA) list of banned substances but tests for the hormone have proven difficult because it is produced by the human body naturally, and the drug does not remain in the system for long.

"This is an exciting major breakthrough that has been the result of many years of careful research with WADA," said King's College London Drug Control Centre Director, Professor David Cowan.

The WADA General Director, David Howman, had strong words of warning to athletes, reminding them that rules now allow for samples to be stored for up to eight years and re-analysed with new tests as they are developed.

"This first completed case involving an analytical finding for human growth hormone (hGH) is a positive step in the global fight against doping in sport," said Howman.

"It sends a strong message to those athletes who take the risk to misuse hGH that we will ultimately catch them. WADA and the anti-doping community have committed significant resources to the development of detection means for hGH.

"I suggest to cheaters to keep in mind that the World Anti-Doping Code makes it possible to open a disciplinary proceeding within eight years from the date an anti-doping rule violation occurred, and that stored samples can be re-analyzed."

While the possibility of sanction may prove to be a powerful deterrent for the use of hGH, recent scientific studies have also suggested the expensive drug is worthless in increasing athletic performance.



Owned again *******. :bbb

 

If it was the other way around, these ***** ass *******s would be screaming that floyd aint taking the tests.

Pacquiao needs to stop ducking Mayweather

 

You have a good point, Pac clearly would do a more stringent test, from what we can gather.

 

Manny sure does love his juice

 

Another one down! :bbb

 

10 mil was definitely steep, i agree it was outrageous..

The dates were crazy , but they did eventually agree on that..

Somewhat iffy.. My thing that always stands is the unlimited urine that was always offered..

Yea I agree he cant choose the dates for testing, they should have to be random until a cutoff is there was a cutoff..

The man could have cost him money in endorsements, thats part of his livelihood..

Didn't they say they'd take a 21 day cutoff??

Pretty stupid and ****ed up.

haha really?

 

You crazy ******* that was one person caught in 12 years.. Tell me how many have been caught since:yep:yep

If Floyd would have walked away from Pac wanting 10mil a pound then it would be Pacs fault 100%.. That **** is way too high a price, no one denies that..

 

If E.S.B was a game I'd be M.V.P!

I know it aint perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than just standard tests.. Every one knows both these guys want **** their way, and they deserve it to a point.. They've earned that right, and against anyone else besides Manny, Floyd will continue to have that luxury... On this they gotta meet somewhere in the middle..

 

Pac only offered 24 days out first negotiations, i don't think that's reasonable... And his team only offered that BECAUSE they were shown giving blood before the Hatton fight 24 days out. Floyd offered 14 days which was very reasonable seeing as how he didn't want to accept any cutoff, but Pac's team STILL didn't accept. There's no reason for them to not accept that if they were concerned about taking blood close to the fight.

 

you're not that bad :good

 

Not at all he actually holds a debate with a clear stance. I don't agree with the stance but it's a breath of fresh air from talking to most posters on here.

 

Yea I agree I think the 14 day cutoff from Floyd was fair the first go round.. I wonder if Manny is wishing he would have just accepted then??
