"The same usada that has only caught one professional boxer in the span of 5 years."
This silly line is thrown around a lot in this thread.
A couple points . . .
#1 - USADA is only testing the professional boxers that sought out and volunteered (and were willing to pay for) USADA testing. A dirty fighter wouldn't do this. So OF COURSE USADA isn't catching many boxers. Why would you voluntarily hire USADA to test you if you're doping?
If USADA was mandatory for all fighters, then that line would make sense. But since USADA is used by a select few who want more testing, obviously there are going to be very few failures because it's clean fighters hiring USADA to prove they are clean (and make sure their opponent is clean).
#2 - USADA is the organization that brought down Lance Armstrong. An American hero. They were absolutely relentless to catch him at all costs. The idea that they would protect Mayweather, a hated villain, when they had no problem bringing down Armstrong, a beloved hero, is ridiculous.
All of Floyd's samples had CIR testing done. USADA has a biological passport on Floyd. If he uses anything synthetic, USADA will know.
