Comments Thread For: Video: VADA's Goodman on Drug Testing, USADA, PEDs

[jrosales13]

I made a type, I meant agreement between Golden Boy & USADA

Yea but Floyd isn't involved in that "supposed" agreement.

When Floyd fights he is the lead promoter, he pays USADA, GBP really has nothing to do with it. GBP didn't even have their signature for VADA so I doubt they have on for USADA. They don't think that far ahead. But, lets say they do. They would only have documents for their fighters. If Gabe wants documents of Floyd testing contracts, he would need to get it from Mayweather not Golden Boy.

I know how ignoring works.

And, I know about the letter. I repeat how did Gabe back down? When did he back down?

BTW, any links or articles of Gabe straight up saying Floyd failed a test. Or did he do what any journalist do after hearing something and tried to investigate by asking legit questions? There is a difference between saying something as a fact and asking about it. Gabby did his job in that regard.

As far as I know he hasn't back down either.

Actually that letter made Golden Boy more su****ious than anything else. Because, of the way they acted by Gabe going to NSAC asking questions.

There are no links of him saying. He was spewing that bs over a message board and the word got back to GBP. The messages are of course now deleted from the message board. I agree with Gabe asking questions, that's what journalist do but to spread disinformation on a message board and delete it once presented with a cease and desist is a ***** move. He clearly was looking for attention with this one.

Here is a post from another board talking about it...

It's no secret that I don't like the guy and since learning a few things, I like him even less...From what I hear, this cease and desist comes from some things that Montoya posted on a message board (and has since deleted)...

By the way, I think what the guy has been doing is absolutely disgusting, essentially floating out rumors that will destroy fighters' reputations...Stuff like this will kill any serious talk of PEDs testing reform and will take down some fighters along the way. These guys deserve due process before being branded as cheats in the media...

We also have to take into consideration that guys like Montoya are not without their own agendas...and you can clearly tell what these agendas are by the fighters they choose to go after...The sad thing is that the more he gets attention, the more his ego will drive him to do bolder and more harmful things...He's essentially pimping out these fighters for some cheap acclaim. Also, he's staking a lot of what he does on **** like Victor Conte and the unknown guy giving him info on Golden Boy/Al Haymon fighters, exclusively...

Where is an article from him providing evidence or proof of the claims? Where and who are his supposed sources? This guy has produced NOTHING proving those claims. He was just blowing smoke to get some attention.

Exactly! All Montoya did was interview credible sources and it got back to Golden Boy. Most likely, GB lawyers sent cease & desist letters to Montoya and his sources before anyone could write about it.

Golden Boy knows they are in control because ONLY their office and USADA have those documents (Floyd's test results and USADA testing agreements). As long as they don't disclose them, the truth will never come out! What is the truth exactly? We don't know! That is why Maxboxing is asking for it.....

If that's the case, then why is Golden Boy's lawyers sending cease & desist letters?? If you are right, Mayweather should be paying his lawyers to send those cease & desist letters. Golden Boy shouldn't be wasting their lawyers' time, right?

So what exactly is your point? Give me cliffnotes. Where do u stand?

Did you see such post from Gabe, I hope you did since you said they are now deleted. You saw them right? What did it say exactly?

Because, of that post from another forum you providing says nothing really. Just the same ol' Gabe said this(no proof) and GBP sent a letter. I read that letter it says more about Golden Boy and how they're acting then about what Gabe supposedly said.

Did anyone actually read a post from Gabe that actually accuses anyone?

And, again Gabby hasn't back down as of yet.

[DE100]

you have the nerve to criticise montoya but used fighthype as a source.....

I hope you are trolling and are not actually this dumb. Its a interview with Annie Skinner, she is the Media Relations Manager of the USADA. Its a legit interview, no one cares what platform is used as long as the information is real. The actual source of all the information in the link provided to you is Annie Skinner herself in a interview, transcribed by fighthype.

you mofos are hearing things...she said she was'nt qualified to talk about it...but when conte interrupted her and said "floyd jr testing is nothing" , dr goodman agreed....

Yea, we hear what she's saying, and we're seeing you trying to twist and spin it...
Stop making shyt up, and tell Manny to do either one VADA or USADA.

Maybe, because Mayweather understands that Gabby actually never maid any claims and just asked questions. Therefor why would Mayweather get his lawyer involved when nothing wrong is going on? Now if Gabby would have said such claims then Mayweather could have gotten his lawyers. But, that didn't happen.

Gaby was saying that a potential working relationship with GBP and USADA might be coming on board...And, that Quillin-Wright would be the first one. Then when the samples was trashed and Gabe made a couple articles about the sample getting trash is when GBP lawyer came into play. Don't even know why they mentioned Floyd.

But, like I said that letter says more about Golden Boy than Floyd himself or Gabe.

They sent the letter due to the claim that they're using contracts to keep test results secret or something like that. Saying something like that is defamation.

GBP mentioned Floyd in letter because Floyd is their client and of course they're going to back him up if someone is spewing bs that he failed 3 drug tests.
