Mayweather vs Mosley
We were told that the details would be made public. Perhaps the USADA and GBP should have clarified how long it would take before the results were made public because as of right now, it remains unknown as to when or if we will get the drug test details. If you remember, both fighters are to make there whereabouts known to the USADA at all times and drug samples would be kept by the USADA for future testing as well. Both fighters also face a 2 year ban from Boxing if they test positive. So with all of these strict obligations, why are we still in the dark about the initial drug tests?
The most frustrating thing about all of this is the that the USADA hyped up these fighters for being courageous in their efforts to clean up the sport. Yet, neither fighter has been courageous enough to tell the public about the details of their initial drug tests.
“These athletes are courageous in their position and their desire to be held to the most stringent anti-doping program to protect their right to compete clean. At this point, both athletes have agreed to USADA’s testing protocols, including both blood and urine testing, which is unannounced, which is anywhere, anytime.” Travis Tygart, USADA
Conclusion
Eric Davidson Sacramento, CA “I thought that this drug testing was supposed to be transparent and open to the public?”
That’s what we were led to believe. However, that’s not what’s happening. We have to hear second hand about the details.
Jennifer Johnstone Sacramento, CA “Why hasn’t GBP issued a press release about the first round of tests?”
I wonder the same thing. They issue press releases for everything else. You would think that Golden Boy Promotions would issue a press release about the initial tests especially considering how much they hyped up the entire implementation of drug testing.
