Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Adviser: "Floyd Does Not Use Xylocaine"

[PAKYO]

'Told ya before it is in the WADA list and no one listened to me.

Elle now is trying to do damage control. LOL!

If you care to recall, a poster here even made a bet one of them will be found positive and since then i'm wondering what the results really is if ever there was indeed a test!

[check hook]

It makes floyd withstand all the punches that his opponents throw at him, watch marquez-mayweather and mayweather-dela hoya, mayweather just laugh all the solid punches that marquez connected at him and the left hook that dela hoya landed at floyd's chin that knock out all of dela hoya's opponent didn't badge floyd at all and that is all because of the xylocaine drugs.

*** ur dumb......that is all........

Xylocaine is not on the 2010 WADA list of banned substances...

Not sure where you are getting your information about xylocaine being on the WADA list of banned substances.... I have the most recent list downloaded from the WADA website and xylocaine (or lidocaine or lignocaine are not listed as banned substances).

Dont believe me... here is the link (go to the download section "2010 Prohibited List):



So the question still stands.... why is the use of this non banned substance an issue for PAC fans?

[joey4pacman]

Ellerbe said Floyd Jr. is not shooting his hands .... maybe Jr. shoots it somewhere else, maybe in his butt .... & Ellerbe continues that Jr. will show it on both hands comes fight night .... on the other hand maybe it's true Jr. is shooting after all .... So, what's the fuzz if what Jr. is shooting is not a banned substance with the Nevada Athletic Commission & the US Olympic Anti-Doping Agency .... I'd like to say, TASTE THE SMELL OF YOUR OWN BUTT .... You started it all .... ....

What is the official word on Xylocaine? Is it illegal in the United States? Is it banned by boxing or any of the State Athletic Commissions? Why does Floyd Mayweather take it? After contacting the appropriate authoritative en******, I have the answers to these questions and more.


US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Lenny Brown Sacramento, CA “Is Xylocaine approved by the FDA?”

I spoke today with a representative from the FDA via their Drug Information line. I asked them if Xylocaine was illegal or banned in this country. The representative said there are no bans on this drug. The representative also said that there would be no reason for individual states to make this drug illegal especially if its FDA approved. However, if this drug is administered by an I.V. or through injections then it must be done under the direct supervision of a licensed medical professional.

FDA.gov

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)

One of the world’s leading authorities on anti-doping, WADA is the primary source for which drugs are banned in sports or athletic competitions worldwide. According to WADA, via GlobalDRO.com, “None of the ingredients in this brand (Xylocaine) are currently included on the WADA Prohibited List”. This means that Xylocaine is not banned by WADA.

WADA



US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA)

Mandy Craig Sacramento, CA “Does the USADA ban Xylocaine?”

The USADA has a Drug Reference line where you can contact them via telephone and specifically ask them about any drug. When I called them yesterday, I spoke directly with their telephone doctor of the day. First, I must say that it was very informative being able to talk to a USADA doctor about this drug and the potential side effects. Anyhow, the doctor said that Xylocaine is legal for boxers to take via injection into the hands. He also said that individual state athletic commissions might have additional stipulations.

Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC)

In a conversation that I had with Keith Kizer, about the use of Xylocaine in the state of Nevada, Keith said that because “It is not a prohibited substance under WADA or USADA”; it’s not banned by the State Athletic Commission. However, Keith Kizer noted that the commission has added some stipulations to the use of Xylocaine.

“We don’t want fighters to use it on fight day. We make sure they have full physicals to check for this. They will be told to stop doing this from the weigh-in through the fight. Fighters must only take Tylenol or ice for any pain.”

NSAC


Conclusion

As of February 17th 2010, Xylocaine is not banned according to the FDA, USADA, WADA, and the NSAC. In fact, I can’t find any other State Athletic Commission that bans it either. So, Floyd Mayweather’s use of this drug for his hands is not illegal. And, as long as he doesn’t use it from the weigh-in through fight day, then he won’t get into any trouble. However, this doesn’t mean that this drug is still safe or something that the general public should just go out and acquire.

Xylocaine, in most methods of usage, needs to be supervised by a licensed medical professional due to potential serious side effects like an abnormal heartbeat. In addition to potential side effects, there are also some long-term effects like dementia that could be experienced.

Regardless of the side effects and the legal use of this drug, it still remains debated whether this drug gives Floyd an advantage or not. It’s clear that there would be an advantage on fight day if he couldn’t experience any pain in his brittle hands but is this drug a real advantage during training?

According to BlueCross/Blue Shield – “Performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) are prescription medications, like anabolic steroids and stimulants, as well as sports supplements and growth hormones that some athletes take to improve their energy, stamina and power while training or competing.”

According to The Mayo Clinic – “Performance-enhancing drugs and supplements are used to boost athletic performance, ward off fatigue and enhance physical appearance. They're also taken to increase muscle mass and strength.”


Xylocaine might be legal but it remains highly controversial. Does the legal allowance of this drug override the performance enhancements that this drug provides?


Although, I think this drug is controversial and a PED, the very fact that it's still legal, according to those who I spoke with, makes me wrong for previously thinking it was illegal. I was misinformed, like a lot of people, when we were told that this drug was illegal. I was wrong, and unlike Floyd Mayweather, I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong. If I'm going to hold others accountable then I have to hold myself accountable too. However, If anyone has any other evidence that this drug is banned in "49" states, then please contact me so I can verify it and check with the proper authorities.

It's not about Xylocaine is illegal or legal anymore.

It's about why Ellerbe's runnin' his mouth like a ***** cryin' over something about rumors downgrading Floyd's accomplishments, where in the first place it's ok if Floyd's using it as long as not to 7 days before a fight.

***** arse rant Ellerbe hahhaha

[tacoboxer]

What the hell are you talking about???

It makes floyd withstand all the punches that his opponents throw at him, watch marquez-mayweather and mayweather-dela hoya, mayweather just laugh all the solid punches that marquez connected at him and the left hook that dela hoya landed at floyd's chin that knock out all of dela hoya's opponent didn't badge floyd at all and that is all because of the xylocaine drugs.

Let's just assume for a minute your statement is 100% true and Xylocaine does everything you claim it does....

Then why is this substance not on any sports commissions, anti-doping, or international drug testing organizations list of banned substances?

If your statement was accurate that means ALL the science professionals and ALL the doctors in ALL of the professionals in these organizations are ignorant and not capable of performing their jobs becuase you know something they dont....

Please... Please... Please... THINK BEFORE YOU POST!!!

I've attached a link to the WADA list of banned substances (do some research so you dont sound like such a dumb monkey!!!)

Ellerbe has the IQ of a soap dish..... I wish he would just keep his mouth shut!!!

"Hey Leonard"....

Do you think Floyd could ever cut this guy loose.... I mean honestly, what does this guy bring to the table?

I think Floyd trusts Ellerbe more than anyone else like Pacquiao trusts Roach.

Both are hurting their own fighters with their big arse mouths IMO.
