Mayweather to Dictate Drug Testing Terms for Mosley Fight
Print PageSend to a FriendBy Paul Upham: Now that the contracts for the May 1 Floyd Mayweather Jr-Shane Mosley welterweight boxing match have been signed, SecondsOut can reveal a stunning component of their agreement.
In signing off on the deal, Mosley has given Mayweather complete control over the drug testing to be implemented, apart from any testing that is required by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
A source who was involved in the contract negotiations for the fight told SecondsOut on Friday, “Shane has signed a contract that says Floyd can dictate the terms of the drug testing. Anything that Floyd wants is all right, as long as Floyd submits to the same testing requirements as Shane. There is no provision one way or another in the contract for public disclosure of the test results, although I would think that the parties would be bound to report a positive test result to the Nevada commission.
”In other words, Floyd Mayweather Jr has now supplanted the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his fight with Mosley in so far as testing for performance enhancing drugs is concerned.
The manner in which Mayweather chooses to implement this contract provision could reinforce or make a folly of his demand that Manny Pacquiao submit by contract to random blood testing - a demand which subsequently led to the cancellation of their proposed March 13 super-fight.It also raises a number of important issues and questions about the Mayweather-Mosley fight and its legitimacy in the eyes of the public.
1. If U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) testing was demanded for Mayweather-Pacquiao, will it be insisted upon by Floyd Mayweather for Mayweather-Mosley?
2. What would the Nevada State Athletic Commission do if, just prior to the Mayweather-Mosley fight, they received a positive test result?
3. If there is no public disclosure of the testing, how could the public be sure that a positive test would be reported to the Nevada
4. If there is no public disclosure of the testing, a positive test could result in the fight being cancelled with a bogus reason for the cancellation being given to the public.
One boxing insider, when told of the contract terms for Mayweather-Mosley, said, “If Floyd Mayweather Jr does not demand the same stringent USADA testing by USADA of Mosley that he was demanding of Pacquiao, it would look hypocritical at best.
”On January 17, SecondsOut’s senior columnist Thomas Hauser wrote a 10,000 word expose Mayweather-Pacquiao, PEDs, and Boxing. It was the most in-depth analysis ever of the issue of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in boxing. The content of the story and the questions raised were applauded by those in the boxing industry and fans around the world.In demanding that Pacquiao submit to Mayweather’s blood testing demands, Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, put themselves in a very delicate position for future fight agreements.
Hauser wrote, “Golden Boy can take the lead on the issue of PEDs in boxing and become a beacon of integrity by requiring its fighters to submit to Olympic-style drug testing before each major fight. And in order to fight on a Golden Boy card (remember; Golden Boy has a lot of dates on HBO), it could require opponents to do the same.”The contracts signed by Mayweather, Mosley, and Golden Boy Promotions, where blood testing is at Mayweather’s whim rather than a contractual requirement, call Golden Boy’s absolute demand of Pacquiao into question.
Also at this time, there has been no announcement about any contractually mandated drug testing requirements for the April 3 Bernard Hopkins-Roy Jones Jr rematch, which is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and Square Ring. Jones has previously tested positive for PEDs, while Hopkins (like Mosley) has never tested positive. However, it is a matter of record that Mosley did in fact use PEDs prior to his second fight against Oscar De La Hoya.
In his column, Hauser also observed that, if Oscar De La Hoya is truly committed to theimprovement of boxing, he could “show the world how a righteous PED-free fighter acts. In order to fully inform the public on the issues involved (and remove any hint of suspicion that he himself might not have clean hands) Oscar should waive his right to confidentiality and authorize the Nevada State Athletic Commission to release the results of any tests for performance enhancing drugs that he has taken in the past. The same waiver should authorize all present and past NSAC personnel and any other person with knowledge of the situation to discuss the test results with any media representative who inquires about them.
”To date, De La Hoya has been silent on the issue of this waiver.

Mosley never tested positive for steroids. His name was released by BALCO and he admitted taking EPO, which boosts your stamina. Giving him the ability to win the last rounds against DLH, is what they claimed. It's pretty much blood doping, with the help of a chem.
c/p
EPO is an abbreviation for erthropoetin. Contrary to many of the articles currently in the media, erythropoietin is not a drug – it is a peptide hormone produced naturally in the body, manufactured and released from the kidney. The role of EPO is to stimulate bone marrow to manufacture more erythrocytes (red blood cells). This has the effect of increasing the hematocrit - the percentage of blood by volume composed of erythrocytes. Special oxygen sensitive cells in the kidney are able to determine the concentration of oxygen in the blood, and this is the suspected mechanism for its release into the blood stream.

I've read an article somewhere on yahoo sports not to long ago, and they're saying that blood will be drawn from a FINGER of PBF and Mosley, not the forearm like many of us have suspected wit Pac and pbf. It makes a lot more sense drawing blood from an indexing finger rather than sucking out viles of blood from your forearm with a 12 inch needle. Anyway, we will see how this "Olympic Style Drug Test" will be conducted when 24/7 starts to air.
^^kinda defeats the purpose when floyd gets to dictate when/how its done, but ur right, we'll see how it goes.
But I'm moving past that. The first press conference should be within the next few weeks, cant wait for the trash talking. Shane seems much more willing to be an asshole if necessary now that his controlling ex-wife is out of the picture.

I don't think there will be much trash talking because they both respect each other in and out of the ring and they're cool. Both of them think they'll win so this should be a great fight. But I don't see Mayweather trash talking like he was doing against Oscar De La Hoya. It was entertaining though...
mayweather certainly stole manny's thunder by snagging mosley as an opponent.
remember, everyone was laughing at floyd cuz he was going to fight nate campbell or paulie the guido, and everyone was saying how pac was fighting a real welterweight in clottey, so floyd got lucky shane was suddenly available.
I think in march though there is going to be a lot of talk/hype for the pac fight. It wont do as good as floyd-shane's ppv but it should get respectable numbers, probably around 700,000 buys, somewhere around that.

^^yep, especially now that margarito is not fighting.
Mayweathers undercard is looking pretty solid. Bob arum simply does not put on good cards that often and that's a shame, considering this is going to be at Dallas Cowboys stadium. You'd think if you're expecting around 50,000 people you'd bring your A card but not Arum!
Arum's strategy is to always to stack the undercard with Mexican's, thinking the Mexican faithful will buy. What he should do is stack the card with TALENT. He's got Gamboa, Lopez and so many other exciting fighters, I don't see how you can pass an opportunity like this to show the world these talented guys who at the same time will entertain the crowd. It's a win win.
