The biggest boxing event will finally happen this May 2nd 2015. A battle between pound for pound kings.
From here on until fihgt night, the US Anti-Doping Agency can come down knocking on the doors of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
At any given time, day and night, USADA can gather pee or blood tests (or both) from either contender.
The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that any boxer who will test positive for any illegal substance recorded by USADA will confront a four-year restriction from the game.
At their age, Mayweather being 38 and Pacquiao at 36, a four-year suspension is similar to a pink slip.
Both Pacquiao and Mayweather consenting to USADA methodology demonstrates an agreeable expectation on their part to verify that battle is battled on even terms.
“It’s a strong statement of the importance of clean and safe competition to have these two fighters voluntarily agree to have a WADA level anti-doping program implemented for this fight,” USADA chief Travis Tygart told the LA Times.
“We commend them for their stand for clean sport and the message it sends to all those who want to compete clean at the highest levels of all sport,” he added.
In their recent fights, Both fighters had undergone drug-testing many times and neither of them has failed any.
