By Benjamin Dover: Floyd “Money” Mayweather and “Sugar Shane Mosley” will begin the USADA gold standard anti-doping program on Monday, March 22nd as they continue to prepare for their clash titled “Who R U Picking?” which it set to take place on Saturday May 1st at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas live on HBO PPV.
Both Mayweather and Mosley have agreed to the gold standard, anti-program, the most stringent in sport, as outlined by the USADA. The program involves no-advance-notice sample collection of urine prior to and after the fight so that all banned substances, some of which do not show up in urine, are tested thoroughly. Both Athletes are subjected to this leading up to and after the fight.
Mayweather said: “I am excited that Shane Mosley and I are willing to take these tests to ensure a fair fight on May 1st, I just want to show the world that boxing is a clean sport and my hope is that all fighters will take a similar stance and responsibility which reflects sportsmanship at the highest level and sets a new standard for safety in boxing.”
Mayweather’s opponent Shane Mosley said: “I think that the testing is a great idea and I didn’t hesitate for one minute about agreeing to it, lets hope the rest of the boxing world follows mine and Floyd’s example.”
Both fighters seem very keen to participate in the testing process and one thing is clear about the fight, whoever wins May 1st, they will know that they have won the fight fairly and cleanly. The same as the boxing fans around the world will see. I think this is going to be a great fight and one not to be missed.
Mayweather-Mosley live May 1st.
Who R U Picking?
