Let me start off by saying I am a Sugar Shane Mosley fan, but I am a bigger fan of the sport of boxing.......We all know now that Margarito cheated and was caught and has been crucified by the fans of the sport (me being one of them). But why do people still downplay Shane Mosleys involvement with BALCO and his blatant use of the Performance Enhancing Drugs they distributed. IMO Margarito was cheating long befor he was caught in the Mosley fight BUT there is no physical evidence to support such claims....but in Mosleys case all of the evidence is irrefutable yet people still put his name in the mix of all of these potential MEGA FIGHTS....
Jeff Novitzky, a lead investigator on the BALCO case, reported that documents seized from the lab show that Mosley received "the clear" and "the cream", both designer steroids. Mosley reportedly began his doping regimen prior to his 2003 bout with Oscar De La Hoya, a match that he won due in part to his strong performance in the later rounds of the fight. Victor Conte, the founder of BALCO, has since accused Mosley of knowingly taking performance enhancing drugs. He told the Los Angeles Times that Shane Mosley knew "exactly and precisely what he was doing" when he utilized BALCO's services. Mosley maintains that he believed the products he was using from BALCO were legal vitamins......................... "Legal Vitamins"....how on earth can you mistake a CREAM that you rub in for a vitamin you swallow?
In May 2008, Mosley's former trainer, Derryl Hudson, supported Conte's allegations against Mosley. In a declaration that was used in Conte's motion to have the lawsuit dismissed, Hudson wrote, "I know that Mr. Mosley was aware that the performance-enhancing drugs provided to him by Mr. Conte were banned drugs because I discussed that fact with Mr. Mosley both during and after our visit to BALCO,"
Mosley himself has ADMITTED to taking the drugs...errrr..VITAMINS so with all of this documented evidence why does Mosley continue to get praised by boxing fans and member of the media?
